Beverly Hills and the Disease of Addiction
What is Anxiety?
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety is relatively common. Some degree of anxiety should be expected for everyone.
The little bit of anxiety associated with missing work causes you to wake up on time and be productive so that you can make money and pay your rent. Anxiety also helps you be kind to your loved ones, knowing that if you treat them poorly, it might ruin the relationship.
Anxiety is a normal part of life if it manifests every once in a while. Worrying about things like your family, your health, or money problems is completely normal. But anxiety disorders are legitimate mental health disorders, the symptoms of which can interfere with your relationships, school work, or job performance.
Where regular, acute anxiety might ebb and flow with an upcoming test or presentation, anxiety disorders don’t go away, and they can worsen with time. If you don’t get the proper inpatient anxiety treatment, you might instead turn to drugs and alcohol to try and control your symptoms.
With Starbridge Recovery, you can get customized dual diagnosis anxiety treatment today.

What Are the Types of Anxiety Disorders?
There are a few anxiety disorders, and you can get a diagnosis from your primary care physician. Some overlap, and it’s not uncommon for people to experience more than one.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder is the most common. Generalized anxiety disorder means you have general feelings of anxiety that persist to such a degree that they interfere with your daily life.
While regular, acute anxiety might manifest on occasion when you worry about a stressful life event or an upcoming move, people who live with generalized anxiety disorder experience severe anxiety for months at a time without a direct cause.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorders cause people to have unexpected panic attacks. Panic attacks are when you have a sudden and uncontrollable sense of fear and danger. Not everyone who has a panic attack has a panic disorder. Some people experience panic attacks but only have generalized or social anxiety disorder.
Panic disorder can be particularly disruptive because people usually live in fear about when the next attack will happen.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety disorder involves intense and regular fear of being judged by others in social situations. This fear might be so intense that you feel like you can’t control it, so you try not to be around other people.
Phobia Disorders
Phobia disorders are related to an intense fear of certain situations or certain objects. This might include a fear of flying, a fear of heights, a fear of injections, or a fear of specific animals like spiders.
