Other Mixed Anxiety Disorders

While generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is the most common anxiety disorder, there are several other types of anxiety disorders that people may experience. Mixed anxiety disorders are a group of anxiety disorders that involve symptoms of more than one specific anxiety disorder. Here are some of the other mixed anxiety disorders:

1. Panic disorder with agoraphobia: Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder that involves sudden and intense feelings of fear or terror, known as panic attacks. Agoraphobia involves a fear of being in situations or places where escape might be difficult or help might not be available. People with panic disorder with agoraphobia may experience panic attacks in places like crowded public spaces or on public transportation.
2. Social anxiety disorder with specific phobia: Social anxiety disorder involves a fear of social situations and a fear of being judged or evaluated by others. Specific phobia involves a fear of a specific object or situation. People with social anxiety disorder with specific phobia may experience intense fear and anxiety in social situations that involve the specific object or situation that they fear.
3. Obsessive-compulsive disorder with specific phobia: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of anxiety disorder that involves unwanted and intrusive thoughts or images (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). People with OCD may also experience specific phobias related to their obsessions or compulsions.
4. Post-traumatic stress disorder with specific phobia: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a type of anxiety disorder that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. People with PTSD may also experience specific phobias related to the traumatic event.
