by wayne's eye view
There are many different types of mental health disorders, any of which could affect any one of us at any time of our lives regardless of our age, gender, background or status. The most common type of mental health disorders are anxiety and depression related disorders.
Certainly, all of us can experience anxiety at times, especially when we have a particularly difficult situation to deal with, like taking a driving test for example, or going for a job interview, but when the anxiety is so severe that it disrupts our daily lives, then it could be that we are suffering from an anxiety- related mental health disorder.
Similarly, each of us know what it's like to feel a bit down in the dumps, we may even say we are depressed, but true depression is where the symptoms don't subside after a short period of time, they persist and are severe enough to impair our ability to carry out our normal routines.
The following list represents some of the more commonly known mental health disorders with a brief description of their typical symptoms.
Phobias
A phobia is an anxiety related disorder characterised by extreme fear, perhaps fear of a situation, an object, a place or a creature and this fear is completely out of proportion to the norm. There are literally hundreds of known phobias but common ones include fear of public places, confined spaces, flying, spiders, and fear of heights. A sufferer will try to avoid their fear at all costs, and when faced with it, will experience severe anxiety which can include palpitations, nausea and panic attacks.
Panic attacks
A panic attack can be a terrifying experience. Someone experiencing a panic attack is engulfed by overwhelming fear and panic often without warning. Various physical symptoms can accompany a panic attack, which include difficulty breathing, trembling, palpitations, dizziness, sweating, and nausea and a feeling of impending death.
Post traumatic stress
Post traumatic stress can follow an intensely disturbing experience such as a car crash, violence or rape, being in extreme danger or basically any event that causes severe psychological distress. The symptoms include constantly reliving the event in the mind through flashbacks and nightmares, disturbed sleep, anxiety and depression.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety related disorder manifesting itself in irrational and obsessive thoughts that spark illogical rituals and behaviours or compulsions, for example, constantly thinking (obsessing) that your hands are not clean causing you to repeatedly wash your hands (a compulsion). Other examples include excessive cleaning, checking and rechecking that doors are locked and windows closed etc. Someone with OCD can feel intensely anxious if they don't carry out their rituals so performing them is a way to relieve their feelings of anxiety and distress.

Commonly question about Mental Health Disorder
Does a mental health disorder always accompany murder or rape?
So, I ve been seeing what I view as a lot of justification for murder or rape because the said abuser must have a mental health disorder , is it possible that one could be a murder or rapist because they re violent and disgusting, without having mental health issues?No, you could just be evil and possessed by the devil to
murder and rape.
What type of mental health disorder is this?
Small things that happen to me at school ruin my day but it s as though my brain needs something to get me down in the dumps each day, so if I ve had an alright day then my brain will find some small thing that happened to me and blow it out of proportion and it will depress me. Please answer on what type of mental health disorder this might be-thanksSounds like standard depression. Talk to your doctor.
Do you believe being gay is a mental health disorder?
I believe it should be a mental health disorder it ain t normal and we take advantage of it what do you think. I believe that people like you are prejudiced between gay individuals Sheldon and Neil Patrick Harris are gay but they are nice people too!!!!!What is your question? Are you taking a poll or what?
Who said gay people weren t nice too? And who are you accusing of being prejudiced? The very people you are asking a question of?
I think you are having the problem deciding for yourself how you feel about it all. You re gonna have to make up your own mind and not choose between what other people think
