YouTube interview (Tamron Hall with Dr. Nicole Cain) excerpt discussing Dr. Cain's book that describes nine different anxiety "types". The clip emphasizes these are conversational framings rather than clinical diagnoses and gives examples: "gut anxiety" (butterflies, gas, bloating, diarrhea) and thought-based/depressive anxiety (racing or obsessive thoughts, nighttime wakefulness and sleep disruption). The passage includes Tamron Hall relating personal experience (moving her phone to avoid nighttime scrolling).

In the book, you have nine different anxiety types. Let's start with gut.
This is so valuable to create more conversation about our anxiety. And so it's important to mention these aren't clinical diagnoses, but they're ways to talk about it. And so if you get butterflies in your stomach or some people get gas, bloating, diarrhea, gut anxiety. Oh, right.
I think a lot of people know that feeling your tummy. You're like, my tummy is giving me away. I'm trying to be cool and collected here. Thought. Yeah.
So do you ever get racing thoughts, obsessive thoughts? Maybe you're trying to fall asleep?
I get them at night. I mean, I wake up at night. That's why I now move my phone to the other room. Because before I know it, I'm nine hours in on TikTok because I couldn't sleep. It's racing through my head.
Exactly. Thought. Anxiety, depressive.
That stood out to me.
So 80% of people with depression also have anxiety. And so there's a lot of overlap. And so when we look at depressive anxiety, we have sadness, helplessness, low self esteem in combination with anxiety symptoms.
