A phobia is an identifiable and persistent fear that is excessive or unreasonable and is triggered by the presence or anticipation of a specific object or situation that usually poses little or no actual danger. Exposure to the object or situation brings about an immediate reaction, causing the person to endure intense anxiety (nervousness) or to avoid the object or situation entirely. The distress associated with the phobia and/or the need to avoid the object or situation can significantly interfere with the next pagecomment nettoyer une coque de telephoneкупить ельф бар в польшеbest person’s ability to function.

Panic disorder is characterized by discrete and intense periods of anxiety that occur unexpectedly, without warning, and are not always linked to a specific place or situation. With panic disorder, there is often no warning, and therefore it is harder to predict when it may occur. Children with panic symptoms may experience high anxiety, have difficulty breathing, feel as if everything around them is closing in and may experience feelings of impending doom.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating condition that follows an event that the person finds terrifying, either physically or emotionally, causing the person who experienced the event to have persistent, frightening thoughts and memories, or flashbacks, of the ordeal. Sometimes after effects from the traumatic events can be delayed for 6 months or longer, but when PTSD occurs soon after an event, the condition generally improves after 3 months. Some people with PTSD have long-term effects and often feel chronically, emotionally numb. PTSD in children usually becomes a chronic disorder.

2. Are you or your loved one feel jittery or “on guard”, losing touch with reality?
3. Do you or your loved one have a loss of interest in things they used to enjoy; appears detached, has general lack of responsiveness, feeling numb?
4. Do you or your loved one have trouble feeling affectionate and avoids certain places or situations that bring back memories?
5. Are you or your loved one often irritable, more aggressive than before, or even violent?
6. Do you or your loved one have flashbacks or intrusive images (flashbacks can come in the form of images, sounds, smells, or feelings; a person usually believes that the traumatic event is happening all over again)?
7. Do you or your loved one often worry about dying at an early age?
8. Do you or your loved one have regressive behaviours; acting younger than their age (such as thumb-sucking or bedwetting)?
