He is very scared of humiliation and rejection. This disorder can cause people to avoid public situations and human contact to the point that      everyday living is rendered extremely difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the causes of anxiety?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different causes of anxiety disorders.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Anxiety could happen due to a single cause and sometimes due to many small causes coming together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some of them are:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>environmental stressors, such as difficulties at work, relationship problems, or family  issues<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>genetics,  as people who have family members with an anxiety disorder are more likely to experience one themselves<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>medical  factors, such as the symptoms of a different disease, the effects of a      medication, or the stress of an intensive surgery or prolonged recovery<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>brain chemistry, as psychologists define many anxiety disorders as misalignment      of hormones and electrical signals in the brain<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>withdrawal  from an illicit substance, the effects of which might intensify the impact      of other possible causes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can we treat anxiety?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Even though the causes of anxiety disorder are various and complicated the good thing is anxiety is treatable. There are different ways in which a person can be treated who is suffering from any kind of anxiety disorder. <strong>Treatments will consist of a combination of psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, and medication:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Psychotherapy and counselling:<\/strong> it is always advised that the person who is suffering      from any kind of anxiety disorder seek the help of a professional as a  person can treat an anxiety disorder at home without clinical supervision  but this may not be effective for severe or long-term anxiety disorders.
