What Is Anxiety?
7. Substance-Induced Anxiety Disorder
Some substances can be a lot of fun, but their good points tend to stop there. Misuse of certain substances can lead to considerable health and mental problems in the long term, including anxiety. In addition to recreational drugs, some medications can also lead to substance-induced anxiety disorder.
Other types of anxiety disorder include specific phobias that can trigger panic attacks and other symptoms of anxiety. There is also unspecified anxiety disorder, which means the patient’s symptoms don’t quite meet the criteria for them to be diagnosed with a disorder. Their symptoms can still have a negative impact on their lives, however.
