What Are Anxiety Disorders?
4. Complications
The symptoms of anxiety disorder can already be very difficult for the patient. Things can get even worse for the patient as such disorders can cause further complications. For example, some patients with anxiety disorders will go on to develop dependencies on substances.
Anxiety can also cause the patient to become socially isolated, which can exasperate their mental health even further. They can struggle to cope at work and in their social lives and they can experience a generally poor quality of life overall. Anxiety disorders will also sometimes lead to depression, and it can also cause people to end up taking their own lives.
