The above answers are really useful, I have little to add but have an excuse to use the DSM that I recently acquired to answer this question.
The DSM 5 (Pg. 189) remarks that "anxiety disorders include disorders that share features of excessive fear and anxiety and related behavioural distrubances".
Some of the disorders (some rather surprising) are outlined as such:
Separation anxiety disorder
Selective mutism
Specific phobia
*Animal
*Enviornment
4. Social anxiety disorder
5. Panic disorder
As well as others including substance/medication-induced anxiety.
Treatment plans will vary, but in phobias exposure therapy is sometimes used to reasonable success as well as cognitive therapy programs like CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) which targets mistaken thought processes to aid the patient.
Several of the more common anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. As with many mental disorders, research has shown a mixture of environmental and genetic factors which might be causal. Treatments vary but many individuals will take anxiolytics (medications to treat anxiety) and/or engage in psychotherapy. Common therapies used for anxiety include CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) or exposure therapy.
