The term anxiety illness usually refers to anxiety disorder.  A disorder changes the way a person lives his or her life.  Anxiety disoder does this because anxiety, or panic attacks can be unbearable.  They render the sufferer incapable of dealing with anything other than the attack while they are present.

Sometimes anxiety illness can lead to reclusiveness or agoraphobia.

However, with one who is an introvert, fear is not an issue.  An introvert simply works better, functions better and is genuinely happier when alone.   Company tends to sap his/her energy and at certain times will make him/her miserable.  For this reason an intorverted person will avoid social situations by choice but not out of fear.  Introverts are often described as loners.

Of course, feeling uncomfortable with, or having ones creativity stifled by others is a neurosis, but it is not a phobia.  Still, there are introverts in all walks of life.  Many of them are very happy and certainly, well adjusted in many ways.

Many introverts will attend parties or family gatherings, but while they are engaged in such activities, their tendency is not to be seen as the bright people they are.  In other words, they may act like or seem to be dullards when at social gatherings and few if any of the others attending these gatherings will ever realize they are, in fact quite the opposite of a  dullard.

Because public schools involve a myriad of social activities and do in fact, place students into groups, some very intelligent introverts are very poor students.  Sometimes, they even are mistakenly put into special classes.

These types of people will never hit their stride until they are out of school and out on their own.  Because the benefits they derive from school are limited, they tend to be avid readers and are always pursuing knowledge. 

In the long run, not being distracted by the need to look good to others actually give introverts an advantage over others when it comes to making discoveries or being successful in certain fields, such as writing.

Basically, all types of nervous diseases are off springs of basic generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).  Treatments, of course are based on the anxiety complicating factor, if any and whether or not panic attacks are occuring on a regular basis. 

Often a doctor will administer medication as part of a recovery plan.  There are also self-help programs available.

If however, a person refuses to make contact with anybody because he or she either feels unworthy of being accepted, or he or she feels hatred for everybody, there is a problem.  Both of these conditions are social anxieties that need to be dealt with.

The first condition is an inferiority complex, the latter is hatred which, in itself can be either a neurosis or even a psychosis.
