Generalized Anxiety Disorder, or GAD, is more than just everyday worry. It’s a constant sense of anxiety that can make it hard to feel calm — even when things seem “fine” on the outside.  Your mind may constantly jump to worst-case scenarios or feel stuck in a loop of “what ifs.” You might worry about your health, your relationships, work, your future — often all at once. The anxiety can feel impossible to switch off, no matter how much you try to reassure yourself.

Social anxiety is more than just shyness — it’s a deep fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected in social or performance situations. If you’re struggling with social anxiety, everyday interactions can feel overwhelming. You might worry about saying the wrong thing, being awkward, or drawing unwanted attention. Even before a social event, your mind may start spinning with anxious thoughts — and afterward, you might replay everything you said, worrying you somehow got it “wrong.” 

Panic Disorder is a type of anxiety disorder where a person experiences repeated, unexpected panic attacks — sudden waves of intense fear or discomfort that come on quickly and often without warning.

During a panic attack, you might feel like something is seriously wrong. Many people describe it as feeling like they’re losing control, having a heart attack, or even dying. The fear is very real, even if there’s no clear danger present.

Intrusive thoughts are unwanted, distressing thoughts, images, or urges that seem to come out of nowhere. They’re often upsetting or feel completely out of character — which is exactly why they cause so much anxiety.

You might suddenly think something violent, inappropriate, or disturbing and wonder, “Why would I think that?” Or worry that having the thought means something is wrong with you. But here’s the truth: Intrusive thoughts are common — and they don’t mean anything about who you are.
