Signs, Causes & Risk Factors of OCD, Panic Disorders, and GAD

Early recognition of symptoms improves treatment outcomes. Common signs include:

  • Persistent intrusive thoughts or compulsions (OCD)
  • Recurrent panic attacks with physical symptoms such as racing heart or shortness of breath
  • Constant worry, tension, or nervousness affecting daily life (GAD)
  • Avoidance behaviors due to fear of panic or anxiety triggers
  • Sleep difficulties, fatigue, or trouble concentrating

Causes and risk factors may include:

  • Family history of anxiety or mood disorders
  • Traumatic experiences or high-stress environments
  • Neurochemical imbalances affecting the brain's stress response
  • Untreated or chronic psychiatric conditions
  • Environmental or lifestyle factors that exacerbate anxiety

At Confidante Psychiatry Services, we carefully evaluate these factors to design customized treatment plans for each patient.

FAQs

OCD involves intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors, while high anxiety causes general worry. A mental health professional can accurately assess and differentiate the two.

Panic attacks can be effectively managed with therapy, lifestyle changes, and medication. Many patients experience significant reduction or complete remission of attacks over time.

GAD is persistent, excessive anxiety catastrophization, thinking worst case scenarios that interferes with daily life, unlike normal stress, which is temporary and situation-specific. Professional support improves control and coping.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), psychotherapy, and carefully tailored medications are the most effective approaches for OCD management.

Combining therapy and medication often provides the best outcomes, helping reduce symptoms, improve coping, and restore balance in daily life.
