Study Notes

Understanding Anxiety and Trauma-Related Disorders

Social anxiety may develop due to harsh criticism and punishment during childhood, or from experiencing social trauma like bullying.
92% of adults with social phobia experienced severe teasing and bullying in childhood, compared to 35-50% among people with other anxiety disorders.
Individuals may develop unexpected panic attacks in response to anxiety-provoking social situations, leading to a fear of future panic attacks in similar situations.
Trauma is a reality for many, with stories of war, natural disasters, and assault dominating the news.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterized by intrusive memories and nightmares, avoidance of trauma reminders, emotional numbness, and hypervigilance.
Individuals with PTSD may feel a sense of foreshortened future, have difficulty remembering aspects of the traumatic event, and experience anger and jumpiness.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves persistent irrational thoughts and compulsive behaviors, such as repetitive washing or checking due to obsessions about contamination or doubts.
To receive a diagnosis of OCD, a person must experience obsessive thoughts and/or compulsions that seem irrational or nonsensical, but that keep coming into their mind.
Obsessions may include doubting thoughts, thoughts of contamination, or aggressive thoughts, while compulsions are repetitive or excessive behaviors driven by distress.
Engaging in obsessions and/or compulsions must take up a significant amount of the person’s time, at least an hour per day, and must cause significant distress or impairment in functioning to meet diagnostic criteria for OCD.
OCD is characterized by intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that are difficult to resist and cause significant anxiety if not carried out.
Individuals with OCD may feel driven to repeat behaviors several times before feeling satisfied, and the behaviors must be repetitive or excessive, causing distress if not carried out.
