    Study Notes

    Anxiety Disorders

    • Anxiety and fear evolved to warn of survival threats.

      • Acute Stress Disorder
      • Specific Phobia
      • Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)
      • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

    • Disproportionate fear leading to avoidance.
    • Symptoms persist for 6 months or more, causing distress or impairment.
    • Symptoms include blushing, sweating, and panic attacks in social settings.

    Panic Disorder (PD)

    • Recurrent unexpected panic attacks with intense fear peaking within minutes.
    • Symptoms include palpitations, sweating, dizziness, fear of dying, and more.
    • At least one attack followed by persistent worry about future attacks.
    • Agoraphobia, fear of situations where escape might be difficult, occurs in ~30-50% of cases.
    • Prevalence: 1.5-4% in the general population, with 15% experiencing isolated panic attacks.
