These may include generalized anxiety disorder, characterized by chronic worry across many areas of life; panic disorder, which involves sudden and intense episodes of fear or discomfort; social anxiety, marked by fear of judgment or embarrassment in social situations; and specific phobias, where certain objects or situations trigger excessive fear. Treatment focuses on helping individuals understand and manage their anxiety through practical tools, emotional support, and evidence-based strategies.

Depressive disorders include conditions such as major depression, persistent depressive disorder (Dysthymia), and postpartum depression.
