10 Signs Of Anxiety Disorder

Irrational Fears

In some cases, anxiety disorder does not manifest as general worry, nervousness or fear. Instead, it becomes associated with a specific thing. Irrational fears could be a fear of dogs, flying, crowds, or any debilitating fear of a typically non-fearful thing. If the level of fear reaches the point where it is out of balance with any actual risk or danger, it is likely that the person is suffering from an anxiety disorder. Many disorders of this kind are rooted in a person’s history, like a past trauma that is causing the fear. But that is not always the case, and sometimes a person will not know that he or she has an irrational fear until a confronting situation where the object of that fear is exposed and recognized as irrational.
