Agoraphobia extreme anticipatory fear that restricts one from leaving a safe-zone. Generalized anxiety disorder - jittery nerves all the time. http://www.algy.com/anxiety/anxiety.html

Anxiety Disorders A nxiety is part of normal human experience. We all know what it's like to get tense when threatened by something - to have butterflies in the gut before speaking to a crowd, to get weak-kneed in front of the opposite sex, to freak out around spiders or snakes, etc... (substitute your own scenario). These anxieties are common and understandable. Indeed, they may be an inevitable part of our biology, hard-wired into our brain through the process of evolution, a vestige of the times when seeing a tiger in the wild told the ancient man to run, and run fast. For some people, though, these moments of anxiety aren't isolated and rare like they are for most people. Instead, anxiety is a constant and dominating force that severely disrupts the quality and enjoyment of their lives and goes far beyond mere occasional "nervousness." An estimated 30 million Americans (including many Famous people ) suffer from an illness of the nervous system that is medically recognized as an "anxiety disorder." This illness manifests itself in many distinct but related forms that all share extreme debilitating anxiety at their core. Further information on these types of anxiety disorders can be read below. Panic Disorder seemingly spontaneous anxiety attacks at a disruptive frequency.

23. Being Afraid Explores what anxiety disorders are, how people get them, and what can be done to treat them. http://kidshealth.org/kid/feeling/emotion/afraid.html

KidsHealth Kids Dealing With Feelings Have you ever been afraid? Everyone has been scared at some time. Does a thunder and lightning storm make your heart beat fast? Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher announces a pop quiz, or your palms sweat when it's your turn to give your book report in front of the class. Perhaps you get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully that picks on you. Everyday Worries We all have fears from time to time. That's true no matter how big we are or brave we can be. Fear can even be good for you sometimes and even help you stay healthy. Fear of walking near the edge of a high wall can keep you from falling; fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from suffering a bad burn; and fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study more. Being a bit on edge can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better in a recital or during a track meet. Some people even enjoy being a little scared. That's why they like to watch scary movies - or go on roller coaster rides.

A Non-Profit Organization FACT SHEET Social Anxiety Disorder (social phobia) is the third largest mental health care problem in the world. Latest government epidemiological data show social phobia affects over 7% of the population at any given time. The lifetime prevalence rate (i.e., the chances of developing social anxiety disorder at any time during the lifespan) stands at above 13%. Definition: Social anxiety is the fear of social situations that involve interaction with other people. Put another way, social anxiety is the fear and anxiety of being judged and evaluated by other people. If a person usually becomes anxious in social situations, but seems fine when they are alone, then "social anxiety" may be the problem. Perceptions : People with social anxiety are many times seen by others as being shy, quiet, backward, withdrawn, inhibited, unfriendly, nervous, aloof, and disinterested. People with social anxiety want to be "normal" socially, they want to make friends and they want to be involved and engaged in social interactions.

See editorial on page 2244. F or years, social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, has been underrecognized and undertreated. That situation is beginning to change, however, because recent research has shown that the disorder is highly prevalent, chronic in its untreated course, often associated with comorbid mental and substance-related problems, and capable of disabling those who have it. We now know more about recognizing social phobia and the types of interventions to which it is responsive.

SAD Links You Can Overcome Social Anxiety Disorder-Social Phobia!!! Social Anxiety Disorder also known as Social Phobia can be successfully treated! Welcome, this is a website designed especially for those who suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder and are seeking professional help to overcome and/or learn ways to better manage their disorder. Often someone with SAD suffers profound loneliness and intense emotional pain in an attempt to avoid rejection and/or the scrutiny of others while at the same time truly yearning for connection, friendship and intimacy. But today there is good reason to have HOPE that you can break the patterns that result in isolation and withdrawal from life. I am a licensed therapist who understands personally what it is like to have social anxiety. I do not know of or pretend to offer a quick...simple..."CURE" because to date there isn't one. But SAD is clearly treatable, and for most sufferers real improvement is indeed achievable. The materials I use have been specifically developed for the treatment of SAD. I have current training in and use the latest cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques. I offer both individual and group therapy for social anxiety/phobia. In individual therapy, a general treatment objective/milestone is active participation in a SAD CBT group. My general therapy approach is to provide brief (14-25 sessions), goal-focused, cost-effective treatment that is delivered in a warm, safe and understanding therapeutic environment.

34. Smoking May Lead To Anxiety Disorders In Adolescents And Young Adults Recent research shows that tobacco products may cause anxiety, panic attacks and fear of leaving home. http://www.nida.nih.gov/NIDA_Notes/NNVol16N1/Smoking.html

Research Findings Volume 16, Number 1 (March, 2001) Smoking May Lead to Anxiety Disorders in Adolescents and Young Adults Using a wealth of data obtained through a 25-year longitudinal study, NIDA-funded researcher Dr. Judith Brook of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, Dr. Patricia Cohen of Columbia University in New York, and their colleagues have documented adverse effects of smoking in several critical areas of functioning during young adulthood. Most recently, the team has reported a connection between tobacco use by adolescents and young adults and the likelihood that they will develop agoraphobia (fear of leaving home or of the outdoors), generalized anxiety disorder, or panic disorder. Analyzing data from their Children in the Community study, funded by NIDA and the National Institute of Mental Health, the researchers were able to separate the effects of smoking from the effects of age, gender, childhood temperament, alcohol and other drug abuse, and depression among the adolescents, as well as parents' smoking, education, and behavioral and/or mental health problems. The researchers interviewed 688 youths and their mothers in 1983, between 1985 and 1986, and again between 1991 and 1993. A total of 69 of the youths smoked heavily - at least 20 cigarettes every day - and experienced an anxiety disorder during adolescence, early adulthood, or both. Of these 69 youths, 29 (42 percent) began smoking before they were diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. The remaining 40 youths were split between those who were diagnosed with anxiety disorders before they reported heavy smoking (13, or 19 percent) and those who reported smoking and were diagnosed with anxiety disorders at the same interview session (27, or 39 percent).

Public release date: 11-Feb-2003 Contact: Douglas Petkus, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Porter Novelli EFFEXOR® XR approved for the treatment of social anxiety disorder First SNRI proven effective in treatment of this disabling condition Madison, NJ, February 11, 2003 Wyeth (NYSE:WYE) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved EFFEXOR (R) XR (venlafaxine HCl) for the treatment of patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD), which may affect up to 13 percent of Americans at some point in their lives. EFFEXOR XR, already approved for the treatment of depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), is the first available serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), and is believed to increase the levels of two key brain chemicals thought to be deficient in individuals suffering from depression and anxiety disorders. EFFEXOR XR is the only SNRI approved for use in this broad range of mood disorders. The FDA approved EFFEXOR XR as treatment for SAD based on studies that demonstrate the drug's significant effectiveness as a short-term treatment for patients with SAD. "Social anxiety disorder is a debilitating illness that can greatly disrupt an individual's daily life, yet the disorder is widely undertreated," says Michael R. Liebowitz, M.D., professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University, director of the Anxiety Disorders Clinic at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, and lead investigator of one of the two pivotal EFFEXOR® XR SAD studies. "Now that EFFEXOR XR is available for SAD, we have a different kind of treatment option to help alleviate the disabling symptoms of this illness."
