Types of Anxieties

There are many different types of anxiety, including:

Phobias: Having an extreme fear of a specific thing or situation such as dogs, cats or going to the dentist
Separation anxiety: Being afraid when they are away from parents
General anxiety: Being worried about the future and the possibility of bad things happening in the future
Social anxiety: Being afraid of settings and places that involve other people
Panic disorder: Having recurrent episodes of sudden and extreme fear, which include symptoms such as having trouble breathing or feeling dizzy

Psychology interventions could help children to manage and reduce their anxiety by allowing them to identify triggers and overcome phobias, modify maladaptive cognitive patterns that trigger anxiety, and develop empowered behaviors to live a happier life.
