Types of anxiety conditions in pregnancy

There are a number of different types of anxiety conditions, each of which has a different set, or cluster of symptoms.

Sometimes these symptoms can develop gradually over time, or they may come on suddenly and intensely. As time goes on, if these symptoms are not identified or treated they can get worse – even to the point that you cannot function as the anxiety has in effect ‘taken over’.

Recognising the range of symptoms and the type of anxiety condition it may be, can help you to learn more about the specific condition and effective treatments.
