Types of anxiety disorder in Children

There are a number of different types of anxiety disorder.

Panic disorders

Children who have panic disorders often have periods of intense fear and discomfort, accompanied by symptoms such as a racing heartbeat, dizziness, sweating and shortness of breath.

Panic attacks often come on suddenly for no reason. They can be scary for your child to go through (and you to see). The good news is it is a very treatable disorder.

Phobic disorders

A phobia is an irrational fear that causes people to avoid the source of the fear – be it an activity, situation, animal or person.

There are different types of phobic disorders, such as:


• a specific phobia, for example a fear of spiders, planes or water
  
  
• social phobia - fear of social situations and interactions
  
  
• agoraphobia - fear of open spaces and being in crowds.
  
  

Obsessive-compulsive disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is also called OCD. In OCD, recurring obsessions and compulsions cause distress.

Obsessions are persistent thoughts or impulses that are unrealistic and irrational. For example, a constant fear that someone will break into the house.

Compulsions are repetitive behaviours or rituals such as washing hands, keeping things in a specific order, or checking something again and again. Compulsions can also be mental acts such as counting, silently repeating words or avoiding things.

A child with OCD would, for example, constantly fear a break-in and not settle until every window and door has been checked in a particular order every night. And, if the order of checking isn't complied with, the whole process may have to be started again.

Although OCD can be worrying to parents, it can be treated effectively through medication and behavioural therapies.

Stress-related disorders

Like adults, children can suffer from stress-related disorders. Stress occurs when a child is unable to cope with situations or events, or feels as if she can’t cope.

It can be caused by anything from making friends and learning a particular subject at school, to stress brought on by parents splitting up or moving house.

Is Anxiousness tends to anxiety ?

Worrying about things occasionally isn’t the same as having an anxiety disorder. All the anxieties are perfectly normal, but they’re usually overcome once the problem disappears or is faced by your child.

In contrast, a child with anxiety experiences the symptoms more intensely and more often, and it can seriously affect day-to-day school, home and social life. He/She can't immediately recover after experiencing a fearsome situation, such as going to school, and the symptoms can cause significant distress.

Anxiety is sometime tends from anxiousness / over anxiousness for any definite tasks and failure to recover anxiousness.

But this is not main reason of anxiety. Anxiety grabs us by many ways. Anxiety is one of the effects of depression and stress in life.

How someone become drug abuse and got addiction?

A person become drug abused for many reason. But we get some medications - for example certain sleeping pills or painkillers - are physically addictive. They have a specific effect on the body which leads to tolerance and withdrawal symptoms. Others may lead to a psychological addiction if people have a craving for the effect that the drug causes.

There has been some speculation that some people may be more prone to drug abuse and addiction than others. Research is being carried out into whether there may even be genes that predispose certain people to addiction.

Social circumstances are important in drug abuse. Peer pressure, emotional distress and low self-esteem can all lead individuals to abuse drugs. Ease of access to drugs is another influence.

People abuse drugs for a reason. Understanding what the person's motivation is helps to explain why that person is abusing drugs.
