• ‍Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Constant worry about everyday issues.‍
• Panic Disorder: Sudden episodes of intense fear (panic attacks).‍
• Social Anxiety Disorder: Fear of social situations or being judged by others.‍
• Specific Phobias: Fear of a particular objector situation (e.g., flying, heights).‍
• Separation Anxiety Disorder: Extreme fear of being away from loved ones.‍
• Health Anxiety: Constant worry about having a serious illness.
