4 Do any of you have a story that you would like to share with the class about a person you know that struggles with one of the four anxiety disorders?

5 Phobia A phobia is something a person fears to the point that they feel they have to change how they behave.

6 Types of Phobias One type of phobia, called specific phobia, can involve fear of an object (like an elevator) or a situation (like public speaking) that poses little or no danger. Social Phobias can involve fear of being embarrassed, looked at, or made fun of in social or work situations With both of these phobias, the fear is extreme and hard to control. Without treatment, phobias can last many years and affect a person's career, relationships, and daily life activities. Both specific and social phobias

7 How to treat Phobias Medication is available but not the best way. Therapists can also help by focusing the person with the phobia on the main problem. The best way a person can treat a phobia is overcome the symptoms by sheer willpower.

8 Obsessive-compulsive Also known as OCD, is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Repetitive behaviors such as: Hand washing counting Checking cleaning These are performed with the hope of preventing obsessive thoughts or making them go away. Performing these so-called "rituals," however, provides only temporary relief, and not performing them

9 Signs & Symptoms People with OCD: may be plagued by persistent, unwelcome thoughts or images, or by the urgent need to engage in certain rituals. They may be obsessed with germs or dirt, and wash their hands over and over. They may be filled with doubt and feel the need to check things repeatedly.

10 Treatments OCD is not usually curable, but it is highly treatable, in that effective treatment can greatly reduce the occurrence of obsessive thoughts and compulsive rituals. A combination of behavior therapy and medication seems to offer the best long-term improvement.

11 Panic disorder Experience white-knuckled heart- pounding terror that strikes suddenly and without warning. Since they cannot predict when a panic attack will seize them, many people live in persistent worry that another one could overcome them at any moment.

12 Symptoms Pounding heart, chest pains, lightheadedness or dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, shaking or trembling, choking, fear of dying, sweating, feelings of unreality, numbness or tingling, hot flashes or chills, and a feeling of going out of control or going crazy.

13 Treatment Cognitive behavioral therapy medications such as high-potency anti- anxiety drugs like Alprazolam. A person can take a class to try to over come Panic tests. Sometimes a COMPBINATION of THERAPY and MEDICATION is the most effective approach to. Proper treatment helps 70 to 90 percent of people with panic disorder, usually within six to eight weeks.

14 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Also known as PTSD, can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include: violent personal assaults natural human-caused disasters accidents military combat

15 Symptoms People with PTSD have persistent frightening thoughts and memories of their ordeal and feel emotionally numb, especially with people they were once close to. They may experience sleep problems, feel detached or numb, or be easily startled

16 Treatments Medication: Zoloft Paxil The person can also go to a therapist. Forms of therapy: Psychodynamic psychotherapy Exposure therapy Cognitive therapy Stress inoculation training
