7 Types of Anxiety Disorders
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2024
- Generalized anxiety disorder, also known as GAD, is the most common among anxiety disorders to be diagnosed. People with GAD suffer from intense and persistent worry. People with separation anxiety worry that something unexpected could separate them from their attachment figure, or that their attachment figure will abandon them. Curious to learn more about the different types of anxiety? Social anxiety, social phobia, selective mutism, panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post traumatic stress (PTSD) are all covered in this video..
Please do not use this video to self-diagnose. If you can relate to most of the signs, we advise you to go to a qualified medical health professional for a proper diagnosis.

Glad everyone found video educational and somewhat helpful like a crash course. You wanted a video on social anxiety to help raise awareness. We decided to release one today; ruclips.net/video/MpovjH-06Uc/видео.html Hope you enjoy!
Thank you
It would be cool if you did a video completely detected to working class peoples mental health. I find a lot of these types of channels focus a lot on social anxiety and anxiety that college students and professionals experience, people working in dead end low skilled jobs are the ones suffering the most in our world. Socioeconomic anxiety is driving millions to opiate addiction, suicide and homelessness. Poverty leaves people in a constant state of fight or flight. I know because I'm one of those people. Theres a difference between going to school for 7 years and living in a constant state of survival for 70+ years. It's no wonder poor people are dying younger, we can only afford or get access to poor diets and were constantly stressed out and fighting to keep a roof over our heads, just an idea.
I would say that the anxiety disorder that I do have is agoraphobia since I do really like to wear flashy clothes which makes me feel too worried that I might be harrassed for dressing differently than most people when I'm out in public, especially since in the past I was harrassed for dressing differently than most people when I was out in public.
here's a few ideas you can try
Find the reasons why you suffer from anxiety - the first step to solving an issue is to understand why it is there.
Be comfortable with yourself - this makes it less difficult when you meet other people.
Challenge youself - you will gain confidence by taking action - especially by doing activities which stretch your limits.
(I read these and more ideas from Aghy Magic Method site )
Appreciate Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried - Peyichael Simplex Precedence (do a google search)? It is a great one off product for getting rid of shyness and anxiety without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate finally got astronomical success with it.
Telling someone who has depression or anxiety to stop being depressed or anxious is like telling someone with cancer to cure themselves.
@Clover Field I just wish people without these disabilities/disorders would understand how hard is it to function normally in society.
This. I have a friend who has on multiple times told me to just get over it (selective mutism and social anxiety disorder) like I wish it was that easy :]
for real. one of my friends even said to me before to stop feeling so anxious (we were walking through a crowd), but what can i do :/ i never look at her the same way again
@@ash.4604 It's easier said than done and her saying that doesn't help you in any way.
I hope you're getting better or maybe found a better friend❤
Well its not the exact same but overcoming mental illnesses will be the hardest task in your whole life.
Why are schools not teaching stuff like this, it would be sooo helpful!
Mine too. But I guess that alot of schools generally won't teach this unless psychology is one of the subjects.
@@nathank3278 I should definitely choose psychology
Actually they teach this in my country but it is so shallow that you don't even care to learn it.
I would have had a better high school experience if I knew all of this
Colleges do
Psych2go: do not self diagnose
Everyone else: self diagnosing
Yeah, while some people would be correct in their self diagnosis, it personally really irritates me just because, to me it's a bit like in every day life a person who's just in a sad mood saying, "man I'm so depressed lately", or the whole if a pencil is out of place and someone goes, "ohhh that triggers my OCD so bad". I dunno, to me it just undermines what it means to have those disorders and the suffering that comes with it. Because I have and still am suffering with GAD, PTSD, depression and trichotillomania (which has heavy links to anxiety, OCD and general impulse control disorders), it's been really damn hard to say the least, and while I'm not gonna sit and whine forever and tell literally every person on the face of the planet or gatekeep these conditions by any means, like don't make mine or anyone else's struggle less because you're trying to change what "being depressed" or "having OCD" entails. Idk some people don't care at all, and good for them, honestly, but yeah for me I just can't.
If people are gonna sit and self diagnose, or think they may have something, they just need to see a doctor and discuss it, and get the treatment or clarification they need. Some people seem like they WANT to have these disorders honestly - not so much at psych2go necessarily, but in a lot of other places
Sorry for my rant but goddamn lol
Bridie McClure well saying you’ve been depressed lately isn’t wrong depressive mood is a normal thing everyone has. Saying you are depressed however is something completely different and insinuates you have a depressive disorder which is a actually a problem.
Some of us can't get therapists so we just have to work with what we got /:
SM, YG, Pledis, Starship, and Cube Entertainment i read your username...
What’s your fav group😃😃😃
Bridie McClure i honestly agree with this having a illness is a pain not a cool thing to have
It sucks when you have GAD and panic disorder and the family things that you’re making yourself sick or it’s all in your head 😔
Yeah, I have a lot of people tell me I'm being dramatic or over reacting when I panic or become anxious. What they don't understand is it is in our heads, which is why it's a problem. They forget we function through our brains and when functionality is impaired we're going to struggle. It sucks
The thing is that yes it is all in your head which is what sucks about it, cuz no one else can relate 100% to your situation
@@wallcoconut9634 It can also suck when people try to tell you that you're not being rational sometimes, as if you don't know. I dunno about you, but personally, I'm very very very logical, and even when I'm anxious I realise I'm being a total idiot, but my emotions run me. There's this almost constant dissonance between the two. (If you experience anything similar, I discovered very recently thanks to my doctor that there's a book called The Chimp Paradox which is actually about this.) So yeah, while sometimes, if it's the right person, like someone close who I've explained all this to, then I like them to reassure me and tell me that things are ok and tell me the things I do know and whatnot because it reinforces what my logic is trying to tell me even if I don't believe it - and coming from them, a person who actually cares, I can feel the intention is good. But straight up being told by some kinda rando that I'm not being logical or rational actually pisses me off, because almost every damn time I know I'm not, and it feels so condescending and judgemental like in a "wtf is wrong with you" kinda way, "just don't be anxious" kinda thing. Just total insensitivity and trying to calm me down for their sake rather than mine
@@bridiemcclure I do realize I'm going against logic sometimes, but other times logic doesn't even cross my mind, I either go blank or meltdown. I really believe there's something more underlying to why I have anxiety and depression, but no one seems to believe me. One of the problems on my side is while I have people that care, the majority don't know how (or for some, don't care enough) to properly help, and they don't like me suggesting things to them, so I get passive aggressive/irritated responses, sighs, hours of lectures. I've been told that I'm "inconveniencing" people when I panic or when I can't function from depression. Sometimes I am irrational and I don't know why, it takes a while to hit that I was being crazy, and then I think about that on repeat for hours to years after. My head is exhausting and I can't escape it, and if I tell anyone I'm tired 24/7 I get lectures about being "too young/lazy". It's like being chained on a rollercoaster that is always teetering on the edge and never stops
@@wallcoconut9634 I totally understand about having people around you that aren't supportive or just don't know how to help, because that's the greater majority of what I've gotten from people, the passive aggressiveness and irritated responses and oh god yes the actual hours of lectures all from family that I continued to get and still would if I were in contact with them, the friends that can't be bothered to deal with my stuff to the point of abandoning me, but will happily come running back to pile their troubles onto me knowing I'll feel obliged to help, etc. It's the absolute worst, and that's an understatement. I still get very disappointed by people, and it's hard to accept that you just can't afford to explain or rely on some of them, even if you're desperate - because you wind up regretting wasting your breath and getting disappointed yet again, making you feel even worse than when you started perhaps (maybe even the shame of feeling like an idiot for opening up in the first place - felt that more times than I'd like to admit).
But, if you do have a best friend, or someone who does legitimately care for you, I'm sure, that with explaining your anxiety, like maybe triggers if there are specific ones, the process your mind goes through and your emotional or physical responses, and maybe if you know what DOES help you, if you explained that, even simply for the sake of having that non-judgemental person get to your level and understand it a bit more, then that's huge step in the right direction. Even, rather than mentioning the mental illness side of it itself, even talking about your struggles in general and your thoughts on it and why they're struggles for you at the moment. For various reasons, I kind of obsess a bit over explaining my emotions or various aspects of myself, trying to explain myself, justify myself and be my own psychologist in a sense (minus the helping myself because I don't know how lmao). It has proved very useful (I did say it was obsessive though, so while there are benefits it's actually a bit debilitating for me), because I can explain very well when needed, how and what I'm feeling and why, even if I don't necessarily know what exactly I need to feel better - simply having the person understand the process and context allows them to perhaps make a decision on how they think they can help you, and then you try and discover what works through a bit of trial and error. Even if they don't know how to help, even that someone understands can be enough sometimes.
This may not be you, but I've noticed that plenty of people however, especially young people from children to young adults struggle to verbalise their feelings or understand them, or even recognise them which is often a first step to helping yourself. So seeing a psychologist if you can, can really help verbalise them and put things into a new perspective. Plus you get the added benefit of getting stuff off your chest and getting professional help. But if you saw a psychologist and take the time to learn about yourself and how to express yourself effectively, it would help the people who want to help you and understand you, even when you no longer have mental illness, the communication skills would prove to be very useful.
It's a huge pity that some of the people you mention get passive aggressive and offended when you suggest things, they don't seem all that nice and wanting to help, and same goes to people expressing complaints over you expressing your feelings. There are right and wrong people to talk to, and a better or worse way to talk about things, and a time and place to talk about things too (and keeping in mind what everyone else has on their plates as well, and making sure people don't like too much on you either!). So if you can find a good psychologist (can take a bit of trial and error finding one that suits you specifically), and also a good, non-judgemental, reliable friend that you feel you can trust and be honest to, then that's a start. I know I'm probably saying stuff you know all too well, but it can't hurt to reiterate it. I know you've had bad experiences with people, and as shit and discouraging as it is, there are plenty of people out there somewhere in the world who are in fact willing to understand you and stick by you, so don't give up that for the chance that you could happen to come by one of those very people.

‘Depression is fearing the past while anxiety is fearing the future’
Me: *yes*
Well, depression makes you think you'll have no future. And anxiety makes you nervous about everything. Past, present, and future.
@MoonChild, @Linety 27 hmm my experience is different, I’m mostly more nervous when I think about the future. I do get stressed out when I remember something I don’t like from the past, but it doesn’t really make me ‘anxious’ if that makes sense.
Hmmm not really. You can also fear the future because of depression. And about past, it's more like hating it and feeling like everything you did wasn't good enough. You can be scared of it too, of course, but I think that it's more common, when depression is caused by some traumatic events or something like that. Never mind, my point is, that both of them are a lot more complex and trying to describe mental illnesses in few word is stupid, cause you just can't do it right and capture it's clear context, so it ends up being misleading or even offending to some.
Thank god we have so many experts around here
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”
―Confucius
You comment in most of their videos :)
This is a great comment thank you.
Or what abraham lincoln said "I walk slowly, but I never walk backward."
anyway i disagree with confucius because your speed does matter.for example if u want to learn a language, but you only dedicate yourself to learning 1 word a week, then thats pretty bad. Reaching ur goal at that speed is not very efficient
GAD
is like when you’re playing a video game and you hear the boss/monster music but you can’t see where it is
Thank you so much I had a hard time imagining what GAD would be like. (that doesn’t mean it’s any less real)
More in detail. It’s like when you hear the boss music, can’t see it and always expect it to appear at any moment.
perfect comment
For me it’s like playing the final part of Jedi Fallen Order. Spoiler Darth Vader is the final boss and he has no health bar the only way to beat him is to run away from him.

Why are Mental illnesses so complicated
It’s not fun
It's difficult
I know right 😪
Right?
prob because there is no tangible "evidence" like say, cancer...it is mostly diagnosed through self awareness and the ability to articulate your thoughts, feelings behaviours which requires some knowledge, intelligence and tons of self awareness....we have to be our own detectives really which is a hard feat!! then, after we accomplish all that we then have to convince someone else of our inner troubles and that is typically met with "just get over it" or " toughen up" or "you're crazy, nuts, psycho, dramatic, over-reacting" you name it!!! plus the fact that folk don't want to deal with anothers problems....a complex problem....
Psych2go: posts a video about anxiety
Also Psych2go: adds a creepy background sound in the intro
Oh god
omg ur right
That’s probably what the people with anxiety hear in the animation
Yeah it made me kinda uncomfortable- why would you put creepy background music in a not so creepy video ;;
Karina Dutta same haha
This is the cutest animation ever

Thank you so much!!
is it normal that I feel extremely anxious every time I step inside school? It started when I was in high school and now that I'm at uni it still happens. Even if I'm not going to have classes I dread going every time
@mar i wish, I'm too introverted to talk to anyone and whenever anxiety hits I get this serious face and no one dares to aproach me ahah
Oh wow, same. I'm only in HS but just by going up the stairs in my school, even if I'm literally the only person there I get anxious...
@@darkacadpresenceinblood totally understand, just the sight of the building makes me anxious
Yea I felt like that so I just stopped going to school to avoid that feeling Bc I couldn’t focus in any of my classes
I relate to you. I had very bad panic attacks during lectures. Somtimes my whole body went numb, or I just have to go no matter what. Couldn't even go to lectures becouse I knew that won't end well. This is very sad. I would hope that no one have to feel this way.
I must say, panic attacks are the WORST. I've had a few very very obvious ones, with full on hyperventilating, and at least while I was panicked and couldn't think or anything, in some ways the hyperventilation distracted me from what was happening around me and my physical sensations which was a positive in those specific situations.
One was provoked seemingly by nothing. It just randomly started on Christmas on year or around that time, and I remember my dad being really judgemental about it. Throughout the short and rapid breaths I tried to say that I didn't understand what was happening at all, and that I couldn't breathe, but yeah he just got offended, walked away, and the fact he was angry about it made me panic more. I felt betrayed too, because I didn't understand what was happening to me and I was scared about not being able to breathe - it was the fact he took offence and prioritised himself.
Another time for me was when my dad was being verbally and emotionally abusive, and coming quite close to me and being intimidating. I felt overwhelmed, weak, and my head was whirling, I got the usual shaking that I get anyway from GAD, the dizziness and then the hyperventilation, and I just kept saying "please stop" the whole time, and I couldn't breathe. My dad was still angry, but it was the one and only time he ever stopped the abuse in the middle. He continued the same episode of abuse another time like the next day or something, but that was the only time it was cut short in the middle which I'll never ever forget. It was the one time he left me alone, and at my request too. It made me feel like he cared even a little bit, even though I was still afraid of him, and in a way, that calmed me down just a bit, but I was confused because it was contradictory to his normal behaviour which made me anxious as well (any kind of deviation from routine or some kind expectation/certainty messes with my head really badly).
Another time which was only a few months ago, when in the process of moving out from my dad's, the whole process was incredibly traumatic for various reasons, and I remember staying at my boyfriend's, and I was noticing I was incredibly susceptible to PTSD that night and I didn't mention it. We had a bit of a fight, and my boyfriend raised his voice and got very angry, only for about 3 seconds, and then I was gone mentally. Head and thought wise, that was probably the worst I've ever experienced. I couldn't distinguish between past and present, I couldn't think, it was proper like movie dramatic depiction - head in hands going insane type thing. I felt insane. It was PTSD plus panic attack, and I felt like my dad was there and like he was going to hit me or something. I kept yelling that I don't understand anything, I don't know what's going on, things like that over and over and over again because I didn't understand anything else, even words, and I was moving around in such a way that my boyfriend thought I was having a seizure and was ready to call an ambulance. If he didn't do exactly, e x a c t l y as he did in that panic attack, I definitely would've hurt myself (not even in a conscious decision of suicide, but I was animalistic and purely driven by fear/some kind of instinct), and probably hurt him, I couldn't even recognise him or anything at the time. I've never experienced anything like it, but I remember also feeling this satisfaction in a way, because while I usually have excellent external self control, internally my head is a mess and it takes every ounce of strength to control the cells in my body, and I've wanted to cross that line of insanity many times, frustrated that I didn't.
My most recent severe panic attack though, it was without hyperventilation, and seemingly started out of nowhere in the middle of the night. I was CONVINCED I was going to die that night because of the physical feelings I got, like the heart pain, the tingles, the coldness, and just this general overwhelming but subtle on the outside panic. All I could do apart from the shaking was just be frozen by fear into paralysis. I really really thought I'd die, and I never had that feeling before either, and never ever want it again. I was surprised when I had talked to my mum the next day and she said it was a panic attack, because while I've heard of the "you feel like you're going to die" symptom, I had never experienced it, let alone expected it to be quite like that. I thought I was having a heart attack. It made me realise how different panic attacks can present themselves.
I have diagnosed GAD, PTSD, depression and trichotillomania, and I'm pretty convinced that I either have some sort of social anxiety or selective mutism, but it may be linked to something else which I'm discussing with a psychologist. Now that I'm out of my dad's place, and finally living somewhere with normal people living normal healthy lives, maybe I can get better.
I know this is an exceptionally long comment, but there's something about getting it out of my system, especially when I've been having a bad patch, it helps me relax a bit. So thank you anyone of you've gotten this far, and I hope all you guys are getting the support you need for your mental health especially in times like these. Good luck! 🥰
I am glad to see that things are looking up for you! I hate it when people say that they had a panic attack, when they don't even know what they are. There are symptoms like feeling nauseous, rapid heart beating, and feeling like you will die. No one should have to go through abuse and I hope things will get better!
Thank you for sharing your story!! I am proud of you for not giving up, I hope you'll do better and that you'll keep remembering you're worth it!!❤
Hope you feel better
@Taylorg Norred Don't apologise! This is a place where we should be able to talk about these things, so if you can get anything off your chest, that's great! It's much better than keeping it all bottled in.
I'm really sorry for all of what you're going through. Being given a diagnosis sure does give clarity on things and can pave a path for you to seek the help that you specifically need, but it doesn't diminish your struggles by any means! That being said, if you're in a situation where you CAN get in touch with a good doctor or psychologist (even online), you totally should! The right one can really do wonders (and I've seen many over the years. It's a lot of trial and error)!
Also I totally understand the panic about the class thing because I too am more of an A student. Plus my family always had high expectations and I haven't been able to shake that mentality off. At uni because I got so overwhelmed and a lot of things were going on in the background in my life, I had to make an executive decision: emotional, cognitive and physical health or grades? And ultimately if you're not happy then the grades aren't worth it, you should always put yourself first. So I didn't complete two tasks. And of course it sucks and you feel awful, but I'm doing my best now to get good marks so I can pass those courses. You're not a number, as much as a school may try to say so through grades. (I'm studying to become a teacher!) So I know it's absolutely awful and I panic about these things too, but you should never feel guilty for looking after yourself first if you're having a tough time. Life is more often than not out of our control, so we can only do our best with the cards we've been dealt. There's no point having crappy cards and betting on them endlessly and losing even more. You may think, "but what if it DOES work?" but the wise thing is to fold those cards and start fresh and not take that gamble, that way you've got an even better chance next time because you'll have the energy to actually do your best rather than burning yourself out. Of course it's much easier said than done especially when you have external pressure such as from family, but eventually you do genuinely start to not only see but believe education isn't the be all and end all defining thing it seems to be. We only learn to we can work and have a quality of life! What's the point if we're not happy? So yeah, don't get too down on yourself, there's always next time - give yourself some love and self care, and spend some time with your dog too, you deserve it :)
@Taylorg Norred Hey it's no problem at all, I wish you all the best! It was pretty lucky I got the notification because sometimes I get replies from heaps of people and I never even know until months later 😩 so I'm happy I was able to, I feel that it's important! And thank you for your compliments too, they mean a lot to me 😊
If you ever need to rant again, feel free! Here's a safe space :)
Can you please do a video on eating disorders?
I feel like eating disorders are so, so, so misunderstood. Like most people think only ‘skinny’ people can have eating disorders but that’s completely wrong. Like it’s not only not eating or restricting eating, people with often will over exercise. There are so, so many wrong assumptions people have on eating disorders. Many people think that people with eating disorders just don’t eat and it would be so easy to recognise and help them in time but it’s so wrong. I would love to spread the word as if you see the signs you could help someone and save them.
Anna Z They need to be careful though because of triggers
@@Cici-mo6ex they usually put a disclaimer on their videos so thats fine, however im pretty sure they have done 6 types of eating disorders
I m not well informed about eating disorders . I really wish to know more about it
When you realize your dog has separation anxiety 😭 😭 😭
I think most dogs are attached. :'(
Maybe another dog would help?
Mine does, when she knows one of us is leaving for a trip or she sees anyone packing she'll start gagging and might throw up
I'm pretty sure my 5 year old sister has it.
My doggo does too. Anybody else get sad when they start freaking out because of it? My pupper jumped out of our window twice when everyone went trick or treating years ago :’(
When you were talking about SAD it really opened my eyes. When i was about 14-16 i got bullied and targeted alot and i had an overwhelming FEAR of any kind of social interaction. I couldn’t order food at restaurants, id have panic attacks if i had to do a presentation, and I couldn’t eat infront of anyone. Everybody thought i was crazy and weird and I didn’t know what to do. It got so bad that I developed really really bad anemia from not eating and I would randomly blackout sometimes. I thought it was just a me thing, I didn’t think other people suffered from that too. Thank you for this video, i wish i had seen it back then❤️
Just fine a good xanax source and have rich parents, start off with like 1-3mg and then slowly up your dose until you can swallow whole bottles.
Thats what sponge bob does
I am sorry you had to go through this. Hope you will do better in the future ❤️❤️❤️
don't think about it too much. start to focus on things you really love. do things that makes you happy. I have social anxiety but it got a lot better when i practice myself to be calm (try yoga) and sometimes i talk to my classmates and try to make conversations. its hard at first but i need to because people bullied me cause i never talk.
Damn I’m so sorry about that, I had/have SAD as well and it’s horrible and so annoying
skyla h I won’t diagnose myself, but I do relate to SAD, but you okay now? Times change, but are wounds won’t heal. What I can tell you is, learn from it. Learn from your past, even if you were anxious at times. And last remember, your not alone. I used to think also I was the really the only one, but my friend, we are in this together.
That feeling when you have GAD, social anxiety and panic disorder...
Yep
Same :'

My empathetic self over here being called out
When my therapist told me that I had anxiety and depression, I found out for the first time in my life that most people aren't afraid to step out of their house or don't fear for their life because someone will break into their house.
I'm 19 and I have such bad separation anxiety from my mum. It's so hard to talk about because it's only really discussed in children and it's easy for me to feel ashamed
You can call me oversensitive but when it came to social anxiety disorder I started to cry because I relate so much to that disorder that it makes me sad.
I know I’m a bit late, but can we just stop and think about how perfectly timed these videos are for some of us?! Like, just recently I’ve been struggling with some thoughts about anxiety (and by recently I mean 20 minutes ago)! I appreciate the content a lot
by recently i mean the past week but ikrrr
That's why I started my channel because on every social media platform I see people commenting about anxiety. There are more people who are suffering with it. Even more so now. I send love to all of you, because I understand where you are coming from
I've been diagnost with social anxiety about 10 years ago and been fighting against it since then, i'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel so for those who are struggling with it, keep going, don't feel pressured, go at your own pace, give the energy you're comfortable giving to do things that can help you and most importantly don't give up on treatments and consultations if it doesn't work at first, it took me several years to find the good treatment and the good psychologist, we're all different so maybe the first will not be the right one for you so don't hesitate to say it if something is not doing it for you, I'm gonna stop here, sorry for the long post and the possibly bad english (since I'm french), I wish all the strengh in the world to you guys, don't give up, keep going and you'll get through it. Much love.
Thank you so much for saying this. Reading your comment made me feel better, and I'm sure it will for many others who find it. Words of encouragement from others can be very helpful and go a long way👍
I remember when I was little I had severe separation anxiety and I would start panicking if my parents weren’t next to me or in the same room. Every day I’d have a panic attack going to school or soccer. Every. Single.day. The poor bus driver and my dad had to pick me up and force me on the bus and close it before I jumped out again. The poor other kids must’ve hated listening to me ball every morning. All the time my brothers and parents would say “it’s just your anxiety” I always said I felt like I was going to throw up and so everyone including me thought that was why I was anxious. Everyone would always say “it’s just your anxiety” it was on and off all of elementary school and by the time my parents knew to get professional help, I’d already grown out of it. Those years are tough and now I’ve been diagnosed with GAD but this time we’ve gotten professional help and it’s really helping!
I'm positive I have social anxiety, but I've been forcing myself to grow outside of my comfort zone with some things like visiting new restaurants and going places by myself. It's worth it so don't let the anxiety control your life
I have 5/7 (all minus panic and separation) and it’s a hindrance but I am grateful for it since it’s helped me grow and develop as a person. To anyone else going through it, I hope you can accept it and know that support is always available in many different forms. Speaking to a doctor or medical professional is paramount but you will live an amazing life and be happy! ⭐️
I have been thinking why my life was so hard for living everyday. Now I know. I have SAD and I once even thought of dropping my education to avoid social community. It's really difficult living with SAD everyday.
I do feel the same. I am not diagnosed yet but it is very hard for me to go to school. Im currently on Christmas holiday but every time i think of school I feel like running away or shut myself up in my room crying. I am so afraid of studying or doing my homework that i avoid it completely. Even thought because of it i feel really bad an guilty. I have a really hight puls every time I try to raise my hand in class and I sweat a lot. I also get stomach aches bevor school. Presentations aren’t even the worst cause you’re probably prepared for it. But you can’t prepare for a casual conversation or how to act in specific social situations.
Lmao I still can’t believe people didn’t vote on the polls and I effected the vote by 100% xD
Check again. sometimes RUclips breaks down.
I think the polls are disabled now... by youtube
I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety ever since I was 7, this is a very helpful video
Thanks for mentioning selective mutism. I struggled with that growing up and I still so from time time.
hey how did you overcome it? mine is getting worse... i am 16 now
@@noanootje4675 Aww! I still atruggle with it sometimes though. I'm not sure, I guess my Mom just tried to get help for me over the years, some of it may have helped and sometimes it didn't.
I've had GAD all my life, but I didn't get properly diagnosed until I was in my mid 20s. I'm now in my late 40s and still managing it on a daily basis.
Did you read my mind???
I feel frustrated today because I have trouble sleeping late but woke early feeling anxious and restless. Sometime I woke in middle of the night with increase heart rate.
It has been going for 2 weeks now 😟
Hey, really sorry to hear that. Please seek medication, professional help or even family support at this moment. I know how anxiety feels since I'm suffering with Generalized Anxiety since 3 years now. And let me tell you self love comes a long way when fighting against anxiety.😊
Hey, that used to happen to me ALL the time. But I worked on it. You should tell someone, so that they can give you tips, and advice. Or you can watch videos like this to help. Find smth that makes you happy that will take your mind off of it. Mine lasted for months, but it got better over time. Remember, this will make you more mentally strong, take little steps at a time. If you can, take medication, or take online therapy. Just know it gets SO much better. Just hang in there and stay strong :)
This channel is more useful than school in many ways. Thank you Psych2go.
Pyscho2Go: anxiety is known everywhere in the word
Me : laughs in African
@ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ same, i keep it to myself, I hope you'll see it'll all get better, whatever you are struggling with!! And if you want you can tell me❤ Have a good day...
Fr like I told my siblings abt my anxiety and they just laughed and said I’m not sleeping enough or I’m watching depressing vids 😩🤦🏽♀️. Africans will never understand lol
Laughs in asia
Im sorry that people around you dont understand you, Know that you will one day find people wo do.
@@Hello-oi3hm same with indians
I was diagnosed with OCD. For me, it manifests in the form of randomly-occurring repeated thoughts that are often nonsensical and gross in nature. Prior to quarantine, these thoughts were hardly an issue. I'd get periods of 4-7 days where I'd get intrusive thoughts on-and off every year or so. Nowadays, these intrusive thoughts hit me every day. In order to suppress these thoughts, I have to compulsively talk to myself in order to provide a distraction. This is why I'm strongly against the lockdown, as my mental health has been declining steadily over the past 2 months.
How are you doing now?💕
I feel like i can relate to all of these😔😔😔
Story of my life
Yessirski
One time, the bathroom door was opening and closing due to the light wind and it already made me panic cause I thought there was an entity that would kill me horrifically even though I knew it was the wind.
This music makes me anxious.
same
Me too
Same ;-;
Same
;';
I can say I was professionally diagnosed with anxiety, more specifically: severe GAD, mild SAD, and aquaphobia. I was almost drowned by my friend (NOT ON PURPOSE) while we were playing in a lake near where I live. It was really scary and I used to want to be a marine biologist but ever since then, I’ve been rethinking my decision.
When you’ve experienced all of these for an extended period in your life
Which ones did you relate to most?
@@Psych2go
Probably GAD as I was diagnosed with it about 8 years ago now
@Psych2Go i suffer from social anxiety for abt 3years or smth-
@@cremebrouleii_ me too I missed school days cuz of social anxiety..
@@xeverlore How are you now? In life there are only 2 problems--mind and the body. To feel better reduce negative thoughts. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations when taking a walk, at work, when reading, before sleep etc. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.
This channel knows me so well. I'm feeling anxiety rn
I’m diagnosed with GAD, and I think you did a very good job on displaying the symptoms and their extremity. Really good job!
I glad that selective mutism is being shown cause I can never find it in mainstream videos even though there wasn't that much on it.
You LITERALLY read my mind. How did you know I needed this video.
ARMY💜💜
I always had problems with my anxiety ever since I was small. I was mute all the way up to 18 years old because I was scared of talking. Always been too shy to go places and always fully cover up if I go out. I worry none stop about the little things and also worry about extreme things like someone breaking into my house and killing me and my kids. I'm scared when outside feel like someone could attack me. Sometimes I over stress over small things and my heart beats so fast I can feel it and my body shakes. I no i need help but I'm a mother and worried if I go for help it would look bad for my children.
I would recommend you seeking help. How old are your children? Explain them, if possible that everybody needs help when issues arise.
Or you could simply do that without them knowing. Though I'm not sure if I would recommend that. Truth for me, must come first.
I got diagnosed with a general anxiety disorder about two years ago And seeking help for it has changed my life
Thank you so much for all the recent uploads
Some of that music be giving me anxiety 😂😂😂
truth I listened to tekashi 69 gotti gotti until I got over mine, I thinked positive thoughts and a prosperous year.
I thought I was the only one
Great video! I can generalized anxiety disorder with panic and social anxiety disorder. You did a great job explaining these types of anxiety disorders. I’m currently going to CBT to help me cope with my anxiety.
*When it says 2 minutes ago and you haven’t watched the full video*
Thank you for covering many anxiety videos. This has been great! 😊
Is it possible to have more than one Anxiety disorder at the same time? Like SAD and GAD?
I think maybe that GAD can include social stuff
yeah gad include mixture of symptoms from other disoders
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's possible to have more than one. Like I suspect I have social anxiety, but also just general anxiety as well
absolutely
@@aces.spacee - Yeah, same here!
Thank you Pysch2Go, you’re the reason I now have been getting help for GAD anxiety, 3 months ago, i was starting to get insomnia, losing concentration, overreacting, being exhausted and just being very paranoid. I found this video and immediately phoned qualified mental health professional, and I got diagnosed with anxiety, now im getting help so thank you so so much, you are the reason im probably not depressed since I dont think I could’ve lasted like that wihout any help any longer. ❤️
Thank you for describing the symptoms of panic attacks so accurately. It was tough for me to find good information about this when I first started suffering from them.
my school showed us one of your videos and now i’m rlly obsessed with your videos
😀 your videos make me so happy, keep the informative content up 😊

Only Harry Potter fan will understand what I mean
I noticed it right away😂
The scarf?
Gryffindor scarf😂😂
Yea I was like O.O
😂😂
Thank you for sharing and offering brief insights into these situations.
The voice for the commentary is so beautiful! Great video
The “impending doom” music triggered my anxiety lol
The social anxiety one is SO accurate! I love that you even mentioned refusing to eat because as someone with SAD that's a huge symptom of mine. I hate eating in front of others and don't have any kind of appetite when I'm anxious, even if I haven't eaten in days (not that I haven't eaten in days before). I stopped eating lunch in school and while maybe in the back of my next class or on the bus I'll eat it then, I'm worried people think I purposely starve myself or something and judge me ;-; It's just a constant cycle tbh
I'm anxious all the time but i don't feel anxious while eating probably cause I enjoy eating too much
Bruh “S A D”
@@dinosharttt It's a very fitting acronym, I can confirm I am very sad because of social anxiety
The music in this was so *tense.* I really felt it
Love this video! Great way to review for an abnormal psychology test!
As much as I understand the issues about anxiety, theres something disgusting that I personally noticed nowadays too. There are just way too many people using anxiety and mental issues as EXCUSES for their horrible behaviour and disgusting bad habits - such as being judgemental, feeling secretly inferior to someone, being lazy and over reliant, being opportunistic, being rude, being inconsiderate, being a hypocrite or faker, all talks but no actions, expecting others to understand them and only them, always expecting others to initiate contact or something within a friendship aka being a prima donna - and if people fail to do these = BOOM! Sudden arising of mental issues, anxiety, depression etc. Its all the more disgusting when that person is supposedly an "old friend". I have learned to just walk away upon realizing that I have already done enough as a friend.
well the fact that i can relate with 4 of this anxiety types kinda scares me
Be very afraid, combination of different types of anxiety can lead to suicide. Maybe this will help www.deskfancy.store/product-page/overcoming-anxiety-book
pisces moon - you don’t have to be afraid. I struggle with at least 3 of these. I’ve been diagnosed with GAD, Agoraphobia, and PTSD. It is important to seek help if you feel like symptoms are becoming unmanageable. Many people live with anxiety. It’s scary but there are ways to help! Don’t get discouraged!
Selective, Social Anxiety disorder, and social phobia is me. The thought of talking to different people and talking inform too everyone makes my skin crawl 😖😓
Oh my goodness, I woke up to THREE videos from you guys! Thank you so much for all this wonderful information!

Maybe If I show this to my parents they might understand my social anxiety better and why I act the way I do
I related to these ones
Social anxiety
Separation anxiety
And mutism
Thank you for mentioning specific phobias as an anxiety disorder, I don’t feel like it’s talked about very much. I have one and the specific thing that triggers me throws me into really intense panic attacks and it really sucks, but I’ve always been told that I’m “being dramatic” and need to “grow up”, it’s humiliating and it makes me feel like such a child. It’s videos like this that remind me that it’s not my fault and that I’m still valid, so thank you
I love this channel, it is very helpful in understanding mental disorders and i just love the voice over artist's voice and their characters
your videos are v helpful😍
I don’t even know which one I am, I was diagnosed with anxiety at 7 and go to therapy and take meds, I relate to gad by having constant worry about different things, but also specific phobia because it’s mainly cancer, dying, and growing up, but I also have panic attacks some times, and have compulsive thoughts when I worry and can’t stop rambling or have to get things done right away once I think of them, and as a child I had separation anxiety because I always was afraid of my parents leaving me. WHAT AM I
I have the same, onle difference is that I was diagnosed when I was 14
You are not alone
thank you for putting a disclaimer asking for people to not jump to conclusions and self- diagnose themselves.
I was looking for explanations to my behavior when I found you, Thank you for explaining different things that involve mental health I noticed that I relate to many of these things and it has been getting worse these past weeks. So thanky you for your effort!💝
ok, I don't think the stressful music in the back was the best choice :o
Woah 12 seconds ago!! Love your content
I really appreciate the self diagnosis warning.
Many things mentioned here explain a lot of my issues. However, my therapist explained that I have self-confidence and self worth problems. In my case, anxiety is just a symptom, not the diagnosis.
i had seperation anxiety a few years ago, that description matched pefectly. love ur channel btw!
I hate having social anxiety because no one understands.
Would you like us to post a video on this?
Psych2Go Yes! That will be great, more people would know about it and know what to say and do to help others with social anxiety (:
“Social Anxiety Disorder, or S.A.D”
*chokes on herbal tea*
I get it . I have S.A.D. too
There's also seasonal affect disorder.
Thank you...I really needed this video today paych2go. 💜
Thank you so much for this video! I used it to learn more about the multiple anxiety disorders iver just recently been diagnosed with. It has really helped me understand my anxiety better ❤
lmao i started crying when they got to anxiety disorder - someone who suffers from that
I've been wondering, as to why do I start to cry when I feel like I'm under pressure? Can anyone answer? Is it a panic or anxiety attack?
Does it annoy anyone that many people think your joking when you say you have anxiety and they think ur joking, like that just makes our anxiety grow bigger, and they feel like it's a problem. Everyone can live with it if you grew out of it or not. I know that I try my best by talking to a psychologist and trying to find what's making me anxious and talking to trusted people. I remember crying when I found out I had anxiety and I thought everyone would judge me by thinking it's a disorder, it's not it's just how people's past where you don't know how they have been. So maybe before giving an individual a weird look at work, school, or in public just think about it, and maybe check up on your friends, colleagues, or anyone looking down out in public.
I think I really have to comment this:
I've been watching your channel already for a long time because a topic like this interests me. But I came back to this video again because I met a online friend...
This friend has Anxiety, goes to a therapist, doesn't have the best past and cutted until 6 months ago.
I have been knowing this friend for 2 weeks now and I knew I had to come back to your guys videos when he texted me while he had school that his teacher was mean and his anxiety is rising.
Even tho we don't know each other for long we already figured out that we are very similar and I just wanted to thank you for all videos that helped others and help me now to understand and better support my new found friend.
I live in Europe he in America and we are both to young to visit each other on our own but I'm happy that I can already be there for him over text (big thank you teaching other people about subjects like this).
We both show love for a fandom and we both have bracelets of that fandom and I made a bracelet with his name and when I told him he made one with my name and told me that he wears the bracelets constantly that every time he thinks about cutting he sees the bracelets and he thinks about what makes him happy.
He tells me everything about his therapy session to how bad his anxiety is and I try to help him everytime in return.
But we are also just besties that have both social anxiety (he is diagnosed, I kinda diagnosed myself but I'm never serious about it. I do feel anxious a lot tho. Might look into getting diagnosed or something).
Thank you so much for your videos!
And greetings to all people that read this long ass text! 😃
Have a nice day and find yourself a soulmate like I did! 😂 You can do it! ✨
4 minutes ago!! whoa I'm earlyyy
Hi, are you back?
There are at least a couple of kinds of PTSD, too -- "regular" PTSD, which is caused by a one-time event, or something like being in combat; and there's C-PTSD (complex PTSD) which is caused by ongoing trauma, which can be anything from ongoing abuse to ongoing medical problems. It's important to distinguish between them because the therapy will be different.
Beautiful animations. Great video. Very useful to learn about all the different types of anxiety
psych2go really help people well
When you realize you have all of them and you're Asian parents keeps insisting it's all in your head: "*Chuckles*, I'm in danger."
I've already been diagnosed think my doctor said general anxiety but actually have ptsd I was hert
already confirm with mix of conditions and i find these videos so cool of explaining when some dont understand when talking
Love the dramatic music!!
