Coping with
Anxiety Anxiety is a part of everyone's life. There are different ways of
dealing with different of anxiety owing different causes. Proper
treatment and support can help a person to deal with their anxiety
in a better way and making living with it better. And with time one
can find himself or herself free from the majority of their issues.
Causes and types
Anxiety is mainly of two types. One type is that type of anxiety
with which you can deal and the other type is worsened form of
anxiety which leaves a mark on your personality. The first type of
anxiety is easy to deal with. Support from your near and dear ones
can help you to come out of your anxiety or you can always deal with
it on your own, without needing any support. But the second type of
anxiety requires some effort to make living easy. The first thing
that is needed to be done is to determine which the type of your
anxiety is and then find out the root cause of it.
Causes for anxiety can be external as well. So in order to deal
with your anxiety in a better way you need to find out whether your
anxiety is caused due to an external factor or not. Any bitter
incident which took place in your past life can be the cause or
sometimes it can be an indistinct intuition that something is not
right but if your anxiety is due to some external factors then you
should work towards dealing with it. However there is no obvious
external cause for anxiety reactions to life.
Studies are still conducted to find out the
cause of anxiety in people who don't have any reasonable past
traumatic experience which could lead to anxiety. People with deep
rooted anxiety may have chemical imbalances in their brains for
improper registration of neuro chemicals. However you should be
aware that it is not a proven fact with any concrete evidence. A
relatively new study conducted in 2005 showed that it is possible to
do a normal blood test to find out the chemicals present in the
brain which can cause anxiety.
More or less all the anxiety symptoms are quite well known
because over the years people have experienced anxiety. The usual
symptoms are prolific sweating, 'lump in the throat', palpitations,
twitching, dry mouth, chest pain and shortness of breath or
wheezing. However these symptoms can exist as side effects of some
other medicines or some other psychological issues. When linked to a
phobia, as opposed to being 'general' anxiety disorder, the symptoms
normally only happen in reaction to explicit stimuli.
Treatment
Groups like Toastmasters International helps you with specific
anxieties that have not yet reached a weakening stage. After you
notice the anxiety symptoms in yourself you must consult a
psychiatrist or a professional health professional.
A qualified mental health professional can
assess your anxiety, diagnose your psychological issues, and plan a
Journaling, therapy, group sessions, or medication are the
various methods of treatment. However cognitive-behavioral therapy
is the most common type of therapy. In this kind of treatment the
mental health professional aids the patient in shagging the ways of
thinking that contribute to the cause of anxiety. The professional
then introduce the patient to the situations that helps in
controlling their anxiety. Common types of medication include
anxiolytics such as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)
and Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are the common medicines
and also tricyclic anti-depressants, though these days those are
prescribed less often. It is seen that over 90% of patients get
recovered by availing these treatment options.
