Which is not a description of an anxiety disorder?

Question

feeling scared to ride in elevators

feeling panicked every time you see a dog

feeling afraid to sleep because of continuous nightmares

feeling scared before play tryouts

Answer 1

The statement "feeling scared before play tryouts" is not typically a description of an anxiety disorder. While it is common for individuals to feel nervous or scared in situations like auditions or tryouts, these feelings are often considered part of normal performance anxiety rather than a clinical anxiety disorder. The other statements describe more persistent or irrational fears that can be indicative of specific anxiety disorders.
