Anticipatory anxiety as a symptom

Anticipatory anxiety can appear as a symptom of generalised anxiety disorder.

Other conditions can also involve a fear of possible future events:

  • Social anxiety disorder involves an extreme fear of rejection.
  • A specific phobia can involve extreme fear of ordinary objects or experiences such as clocks, spiders, heights, etc.
  • Panic disorder. Anticipatory anxiety is common in panic attacks.
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A traumatic experience such as a car crash or a mugging can cause anticipatory anxiety.
