Panic Disorder is where you get panic attacks, meaning you are panicking and worrying. This means it is a form of anxiety.

OCD is obsessions and compulsions to stop something from happening ( i.e. contaminiation) so this is anciety too.

PTSD is having breakdowns about what has happened in the past, and you are scared about it happening again, so this is also anxiety.

By process of elimination, we can tell that Hypochrondia must be the excpetion

Anxiety is defined as the feeling of fear, depression, and uneasiness. High anxiety in an individual can lead to disorders like panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and PTSD.

The disorder which does not arise due to the anxiety is:

  • Hypochondria

The disorders can be explained as:

  • Panic disorder is defined as the type of anxiety disorder, in which a person experiences severe uneasiness, nervousness, and anxiety.

  • Obsessive-Compulsive disorder is a type of anxiety disorder, in which a person experiences disturbing thoughts, obsessions, and a great deal of anxiety.

  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is the condition in which a person has experienced a traumatizing event or disaster. It is a psychotic disorder associated with the continuous reminders of the event, altered anxiety state, and avoiding external reminders.

  • Hypochondria is the condition in which the person thinks that he or she is suffering from any illness or is at high risk of becoming ill. The symptoms of the conditions include being alarmed by health status, having sensations of serious illness, and finding no reassurance from the doctor.

Therefore, Hypochondria is not a type of anxiety disorder.
