NOTE:  Anxiety and fear are normal parts of human behavior and emotions ---> Its function is to keep human beings alive.

Everyone suffers fear and anxiety as some point of one's life, but a portion of the population end up with Anxiety Disorder (AD)

If fear and anxiety are like an alarm system that warns us of burglars, then anxiety disorder is like an alarm that does not turn off, even if there are no burglars (Anxiety Disorder, 2018).

Different types of Anxiety Disorders:
  • Specific Phobia
  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder
  • Panic Disorder
  • Agoraphobia
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

These disorders mentioned above often result in fear, panic, and anxiety.  Some are characterized by fear, others by anxiety.
(Anxiety Disorders, 2018).

Panic Attacks:
A panic attack is a rapid and sudden mobilization of the fight or flight response.

Fight or flight is a response to extreme dangers like when a person faces a bear.

Panic attack is the same as fight or flight, but with the bear missing.
(Anxiety Disorders, 2018).

  2. Bulimia Nervosa (BN)
  3. Binge-Eating Disorders (BED)
  4. Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (AREID)
  5. Other Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS)
(Buser, 2012).

Anorexia Nervosa (AN):
An eating disorder characterized by the following criteria:

  1. Body weight is 85% of normal weight for a person's age and height
  2. Fear of weight gain despite the reality of being underweight
  3. Perception of one's body is distorted
  4. In females - if the female has missed three consecutive periods - only menstruates with the help of hormones (Buser, 2012).

Two types of Anorexia Nervosa:
  1. Restrictive Type: the anorexic restricts food and does not binge-eat
  2. Binge-eating Purging Type: the anorexic binges and then purges
(Buser, 2012,).




Bulimia Nervosa (BN):
An eating disorder characterized by four major criteria:
  1. The patient engages in binge-eating and experiences a lack of control over his behavior
  2. The patient engages in actions, such as vomiting or taking laxatives, that counteract the binge-eating in hopes of avoiding weight gain
  3. The frequency of binges occur at least twice weekly and has been occurring for at least three weeks
  4. The patient is also over-concerned about his or her weight and body shape
(Buser, 2012).



Binge-Eating Disorders (BED):

An eating disorder characterized by the consumption of large amount of food within a certain period of time and simultaneously experiencing a lack of control over this behavior.

This disorder is characterized by four criteria:
  1. Binge-eating occurs at least once a week for a duration of 3 weeks
  2. Consumption of abnormal amounts of food within a certain period with a lack of control over his behavior
  3. This behavior results in emotions of guilt, shame, disgust, or depression after binge-eating
(Buser, 2012).

Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS):
These types of disorders do not neatly fit the criteria of Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia, nor Binge-eating disorders.

Example: People purge, but do not binge-eat.
(Buser, 2012).
