Social anxiety
Among the known classes of anxiety, social phobia is the attribution of symptoms to social interaction. We are talking then about people who are afraid of relating to others and who feel panic at even the possibility of being humiliated or being the center of attention. This stress can manifest itself through excessive sweating, shortness of breath, and muscle tension.
Children are quite prone to this type of anxiety and we often see them taking refuge in their parents, throwing tantrums or refusing to speak.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
This type of anxiety disorder responds to an experience that caused a severe traumatic impression on the individual. It is recognized because any relationship, mention or memory of said experience is abnormally uncomfortable.
Although feeling afraid or having difficulty overcoming an event of this caliber is normal, when the symptoms are very prolonged and do not seem to cease over time, it is logical to think that it is PTSD or PTSD, for short. in English
