These anxiety disorders cause the individual to be unable to participate in usual activities. They require immediate hospitalization, because they interfere with the ability to function in everyday life.

Touch is one mechanism of communicating caring. It also communicates support and nurturing to clients who feel isolated and fearful. For example, reaching out to take a client's hand is a way to communicate caring and support.
