- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – This is an anxiety disorder that tends to manifest in teens through excessive worry about parts of life, not necessarily about a specific aspect.

- Social Anxiety Disorder – For teens, this anxiety disorder presents excessive worry about social interactions, how you are perceived, and fear of embarrassment.
- Separation Anxiety Disorder – This disorder stems from being away from a person or thing that has created comfort for you. It can be so severe that you are unable to be alone, even to complete basic tasks.

When trying to manage the occurrences of your teen anxiety symptoms, it can also manifest with other mental health conditions like depression, as well as substance abuse.
