But anxiety disorders are treatable and a number of effective treatments are available. Treatment helps most people lead normal productive lives.

There are many factors that are linked to depression. These may include:
GAD is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable worry about everyday situations. Individuals with GAD often struggle with restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and physical symptoms such as muscle tension. At Nafsology, we provide evidence-based treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help manage these symptoms effectively.
Panic disorder involves recurrent panic attacks—sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort. Our specialists use proven techniques, including exposure therapy and mindfulness, to reduce the frequency and severity of panic attacks, helping patients feel more in control.
During a panic attack several of these symptoms occur in combination:
A person suffering from social anxiety disorder has significant anxiety and discomfort about being embarrassed, humiliated, rejected or looked down on in social interactions. He will try to avoid the situation or endure it with great anxiety. Common examples are extreme fear of public speaking, meeting new people or eating/drinking in public. The fear or anxiety causes problems with daily functioning and lasts at least six months.
Social anxiety can prevent individuals from engaging in normal social situations due to an intense fear of judgment or embarrassment. Nafsology offers a combination of therapies, such as CBT and social skills training, to help patients overcome this fear and build confidence in social settings.
OCD is often marked by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Our therapeutic approaches focus on exposure and response prevention (ERP), a highly effective treatment for reducing obsessive-compulsive behaviors.
PTSD can occur after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety. At Nafsology, we provide trauma-focused therapies to help patients process and overcome their traumatic experiences.
A specific phobia is excessive and persistent fear of a specific object, situation or activity that is generally not harmful. The person knows his fear is excessive, but he can’t overcome it. These fears cause such distress that some people go to extreme lengths to avoid what they fear. Examples are public speaking, fear of flying or fear of spiders or insects.
Agoraphobia is the fear of being in situations where escape may be difficult or embarrassing, or help might not be available. The fear is out of proportion to the actual situation and lasts generally six months or more and causes problems in functioning. A person can only be diagnosed with agoraphobia if the fear is significantly interferes with normal daily activities orintensely upsetting.
Untreated agoraphobia can become so serious that a person may be unable to leave the house.
A person with agoraphobia experiences this fear in two or more of the following situations:
The individual actively avoids the situation, requires a companion or endures with intense fear or anxiety.
A person with separation anxiety disorder is excessively fearful or anxious about separation from those with whom he or she is attached. This feeling is beyond what is appropriate for the person’s age, persists (at least four weeks in children and six months in adults) and causes problems functioning. He/she may be persistently worried about losing the person closest to him or her, may be reluctant or refuse to go out or sleep away from home or without that person, or may experience nightmares about separation. Physical symptoms of distress often develop in childhood, but symptoms can carry though adulthood.
