Anxiety disorders of which there are many that range in severity, and they impact millions around the world. These are the disorders that present with a lot of worry, fear and avoidant behavior every day. The first crucial step in managing anxiety is understanding it.
Bipolar disorder is characterized by frequent mood swings that consist of highs (mania) and lows (depression). Earlier, it was called manic depression due to the rapid shift from mania to depressive mood.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not just a diagnosis—it’s a very real struggle that happens when you’ve gone through something incredibly overwhelming or traumatic. It’s not just about remembering what happened—it’s about reliving the fear, anxiety, and distress, often through flashbacks and intrusive thoughts that feel uncontrollable.
Depression is more than just the regular feeling of sadness. However, if acute sadness, including feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness, lasts for several days or weeks and prevents you from living your life, it may be more than sadness. That’s when it’s time to seek medical attention.
Eating disorders aren’t just about food—they’re about so much more. They’re complicated conditions that can affect anyone, no matter your age or background. Often, they’re tied to how we feel about ourselves and how we cope with difficult emotions.
Anxiety disorders come in many forms and vary in severity, affecting millions around the world. These are the disorders that present with a lot of worry, fear and avoidant behaviour everyday. The first crucial step in managing anxiety is understanding it.
