The best known and most important anxiety disorders
There are hundreds of anxiety disorders that can now be differentiated. The most important ones will be presented here.
Agoraphobia
In general, agoraphobia is understood as “the fear of certain places”. Persons suffering from agoraphobia experience intense fear or an unpleasant feeling as soon as they are in a place where escape would not be possible, if unexpected panic or unpleasant physical reactions for themselves would suddenly occur.
Fear of spiders
Arachnophobia is also a specific fear. The term comes from ancient Greek and means arachnophobia (spider phobia). It describes the fear of spiders, which is exaggerated and unfounded, since there is no real danger. The fear does not always have to start from the confrontation of a real spider, but can also be triggered by pictures or toys depicting a spider.
