What Are Anxiety Disorders?
6. Who’s At Risk
People that have experienced traumatic events are among the most likely to develop anxiety disorders. This will often mean people that suffered abuse as a child. First responders are also in a high risk category, as are people who serve with the military. It can also happen to people who have been in severe accidents or natural disasters.
Other factors include having a personality that makes the patient more prone to stress. People with other mental health disorders are also at a higher risk. As are people who have a lot of stress in their lives, and those who use drugs and drink a lot of alcohol.
