Anxiety Disorders
http://library.thinkquest.org/14028/psychdisorder.html
An individual is diagnosed with an anxiety disorder when the symptoms
include a heightened level of apprehension or uneasiness.

Phobias are one type of anxiety disorders. A phobia is an irrational
fear of objects or situations. Often times the phobic knows that the
fear is irrational, but they can’t get over it without the help of a
professional psychologist. Phobias can be broken down into three main
categories: specific phobias, agoraphobias, and social phobias. A
specific phobia is the fear of an object or a particular situation.
Agliophobia (fear of pain), alliumphobia (fear of garlic),
arachibutyrophobia (fear of peanut butter sticking to roof of mouth),
cyberphobia (fear of computers), lockiophobia (fear of childbirth),
philophobia (fear of falling in love), and triskadekaphobia (fear of
the number 13) are examples of specific phobias. Although some these
phobias sound incredibly funny, they can be extremely debilitating to
a phobic’s life. Imagine having cyberphobia, where the mere sight of a
computer in a department store or at work could launch you into a
panic attack, making it hard for you to breathe and frightening you to
the point where you can no longer move. The two other categories of
phobias are agoraphobia, or the fear of public places, and social
phobia, or the fears of situations which might lead to embarrassment,
such as public speaking.

The most common phobias include:

...Acrophobia High places
...Claustrophobia Closed spaces
...Cypridophobia Venereal disease
...Gynophobia Women
...Kakorrhaphiophobia Failure
...Mysophobia Dirt
...Thanatophobia Death

In addition to phobias, there are many more anxiety disorders. Panic
disorder consists of frequent panic attacks for no reason while post-
traumatic- stress disorder is caused by traumatic experiences, such as
a plane crash, and is relieved through flashbacks or dreams. Obsessive-
compulsive disorder occurs when a patient has recurring thoughts or
behavior that they feel compelled to perform. The obsession is the
involuntary thought and the compulsion is the need to repeat the
behavior. For example, a woman obsessed with cleanliness may
frequently wash her hands.

Somatoform disorders are considered anxiety disorders because the
person feels high levels of apprenhension. Somatoform disorders are
classified as such when the person displays physical symptoms that
have no known organic or physiological pathology. Conversion disorder
is the transfer of emotional problems into physical symptoms.
Hypochondriasis is the unrealistic belief that one is suffering from a
serious disease.
