Anxiety Disorders? What Are the Types of Anxiety Disorders?

There are several kinds, including:

Panic disorder. People with this condition have feelings of terror that strike suddenly and repeatedly with no warning. Other symptoms of a panic attack include sweating, chest pain, palpitations (unusually strong or irregular heartbeats), and a feeling of choking. It can feel like you’re having a heart attack or “going crazy.”

Social anxiety disorder. Also called social phobia, this involves overwhelming worry and self-consciousness about everyday social situations. The worry often centers on a fear of being judged by others, or behaving in a way that might cause embarrassment or lead to ridicule.

Specific phobias. These are intense fears of a specific object or situation, such as heights or flying. The level of fear is usually inappropriate to the situation and may cause you to avoid common, everyday situations.

Generalized anxiety disorder. This is excessive, unrealistic worry and tension, even if there’s little or nothing to provoke the anxiety.

·        What Are the Causes of Anxiety Disorders?

The exact cause of anxiety disorders is unknown, but anxiety disorders — like other forms of mental illness — are not the result of personal weakness, a character flaw, or poor upbringing. As scientists continue their research on mental illness, it is becoming clear that many of these disorders are caused by a combination of factors, including changes in the brain and environmental stress.”©2005-2016 WebMD, LLC.  (Retrieved June 5, 2016).

Symptoms & Types

Osteoporosis often starts silently and may not be found until a bone fractures. But sometimes, symptoms appear. Learn about the types and symptoms of osteoporosis.

Symptoms

Osteoporosis Symptoms

Osteoporosis can be a silent disease, but many patients suffer symptoms such as pain and height loss. Read a brief description of osteoporosis symptoms.

Warning Signs

Osteopenia

Many people have thinned bones and don’t know it. Osteopenia is mildly thin bones that are heading towards osteoporosis. Learn more about how osteopenia is detected and treated.

Types

Types of Osteoporosis

Did you know there are different types of osteoporosis? Men and women of all ethnic groups can develop osteoporosis. So can children and teenagers.

Juvenile Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis rarely affects children. But when it does, it’s usually due to a medical condition or medication. It’s a significant problem because it occurs during the child’s prime bone-building years. Those rare cases are called juvenile osteoporosis. Read about it in this brief article.

Premenopausal Osteoporosis

While a woman’s risk of developing osteoporosis increases with age — and menopause is a key risk factor for osteoporosis — premenopausal osteoporosis or bone loss that happens before menopause is not uncommon and can result in painful, debilitating fractures.

Complications

Osteoporosis Risks and Complications

Osteoporosis develops when the creation of new bone doesn’t keep up with the removal of old bone. Bones become weak and brittle and are more likely to fracture.

Osteoporosis Myth: Osteoporosis Doesn’t Cause Any Emotional Problems

Having a fracture, or even seeing yourself as more “fragile” than you once thought you were, can lead to a negative body image, poor self-esteem, and a sense of limitations in activity and mobility.

Osteoporosis Myth: Osteoporosis Doesn’t Cause Serious Health Problems

Osteoporosis and bone disease often result in painful and debilitating fractures. These injuries can have significant long-term consequences, leaving the individuals with chronic pain, loss of height, and impaired ability to do the things they need to do to care for themselves, such as dress, bathe, walk, and take care of their household.

Osteoporosis Pain

Bone fractures caused by osteoporosis can be very painful, and sometimes the pain and disability lasts for months. Physical activity helps contribute to bone health. Read article on handling chronic pain.
