Which group of symptoms includes jumpy anxiety, social withdrawal, and insomnia?

The symptoms of jumpy anxiety, social withdrawal, and insomnia are characteristic of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Individuals with PTSD may experience hyperarousal manifestations, such as jumpiness or heightened anxiety responses, which can lead to excessive alertness and difficulty relaxing. Social withdrawal is also common, as those suffering from PTSD might avoid social interactions due to feelings of anxiety or discomfort associated with reminders of the trauma. Insomnia frequently accompanies PTSD, resulting from intrusive memories or heightened arousal that disrupts normal sleep patterns.

In contrast, generalized anxiety disorder primarily involves excessive worry and anxiety about various aspects of life but does not specifically encompass the hyperarousal and avoidance as strongly associated with PTSD. Social anxiety disorder centers mainly on fear of social situations and the anxiety stemming from fear of negative evaluation by others, rather than a traumatic experience. Panic disorder is characterized by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks, which involve intense physical symptoms and fear but do not typically encompass the broader range of symptoms seen in PTSD.
