Anxiety is a fairly common condition that can make ordinary events seem almost impossible to handle. Some people suffer situational anxiety, which is anxiety related to specific circumstances. Anxiety from financial difficulty or the loss of a loved one is situational anxiety. Other people suffer from generalized anxiety, which means there is no identifiable cause. The symptoms may occur at any time and without warning. Regardless of the type of anxiety experienced, the symptoms can be scary and even debilitating.
The most common symptoms of anxiety can mimic more serious conditions. Chest pain, shortness of breath, numbness in the extremities - these are all common manifestations of anxiety. Some people may experience headaches, nausea, sleeplessness, emotional distress, and even memory loss from severe anxiety. Fortunately, treatment is available for both types of anxiety.
There are several prescription medications available for the treatment of anxiety. Those who suffer from a generalized anxiety disorder, with no specific cause, can be treated with daily medication to lessen the occurrence and frequency of anxiety attacks. For those who suffer from situational anxiety, medication that is taken only as needed may be prescribed. As with any prescription medication, regular visits to a primary care physician to ensure the effectiveness of the medication, as well as to monitor for any unwanted side effects, are essential. Most physicians will also recommend psychotherapy to help the patient develop strategies to deal with the feelings of panic when they occur.
There are also treatments for those who prefer not to take medications. Some people find that support groups, or even just talking to a friend, can ease feelings of panic. This is more often effective with situational anxiety. Visits to a trained counselor may help as well. Some people use alternative methods, such as biofeedback, meditation, or yoga to deal with anxiety. Regardless of the method used to ease anxious feelings, certain symptoms should never be ignored. Someone experiencing chest pain or difficulty breathing should seek medical attention immediately.
Anxiety does not have to control one’s life. With competent medical care and emotional support, anxiety can be brought to a manageable level. Help is out there.
