enlist 5 behavioral disorders and a brief definition.
Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry, uneasiness, or dread; characterized by chronic excessive and uncontrollable worry about various life circumstances
Panic disorder is a form of anxiety disorder marked by episodes of intense fear
A phobia is an extreme, persistent fear of a specific object or situation.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a condition marked by recurrent thoughts or images that are persistent and intrusive.
Attention deficit–hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is difficult to diagnose because many of its symptoms overlap or coexist with other behavioral disorders
