Anxiety Disorders

OCD is diagnosed when symptoms start to become noticeable, which can be at any age. Most of the time, OCD symptoms become noticeable when a preteen/teen hits puberty. OCD can be diagnosed when someone is as young as 13 or as old as 60. It is different for everyone.

Selaphobia is the name of the phobia relating to the fear of light flashes

The phobia of chickens is Alektorophobia. It works for both a fear of roosters and of chickens in general.

*note: The supervisor of this category has a rooster named Alektorophobia see Bio page

dear, anxiety is to think of next second, forgetting present . this will cause unwanted tension, in other sense invitation to nervousness. we can over come with confidence in present state rather than worrying about future, good day

Hygrophobia is the name of the phobia related to the fear of moisture, liquids or dampness.

Over the short term, a group of tranquilizers called benzodiazepines, such as clonazepam (Klonipin) may help ease the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. Sometimes antidepressant drugs, such as amitryptiline (Elavil)

Answer this question...you can perfoam daily mastribution to make it large and even more stronger than before.

Stand up for yourself. Trust me, ive been bullied, verbally and physically and if you allow them to bully you they will continue to do it. And if it does result to violence, defend yourself to the best of your ability. Have you thought about taking a self defense class like boxing, or MMA? It builds your confidence, might help you out. Best wishes.

Agoraphobia.

*Agoraphobia is the fear of the open doors not the fear of open doors.

Feelings of "unreality" are often called "derealization," "depersonalization," or "dissociation." This can be caused by a number of things, including depression, PTSD, anxiety, etc. A mental health professional can help determine the contributing factors and appropriate treatment. It can be helped. Although the list above are simply a list of "symptoms" inlcuding ncluding depression, PTSD, anxiety, etc., please keep in mind all that symptoms have a "cause" one cause that must be investigated and ruled out is tick borne diseases, including but not limited to Lyme Disease, Erhlichia, Bartonella, Babesia, Mycoplasma, Q-fever and others. Ticks, fleas and other insects are all thought to be carriers. Many ticks and fleas are they size of the period at the end of this sentence and more than half of all people diagnosed with tick borne diseases do not recall a bite. Since Lyme has become the fastest growing infectious disease in the U.S. is not recognized by most doctor's, as the symptoms are vast and wide and it is thought by Lyme literate Md's that any and all psychiatric symptoms could be the root cause. Since mainstream lab testing used nationwide for Lyme Disease is not "diagnostic" by admission of the creator's of the test (Center for Disease Control) and Md's in all fields of medicine are not trained to recognize these diseases. A person experiencing these symptoms should visit Lyme Disease support forums and and ask for a referral to a Lyme Literate Md in their area. Blood testing is useless unless the sample is sent to a tick borne specialty lab, there are only a few across the U.S. the best known being Igenex. These disease can be misdiagnosed from anxiety disorders, mental illnesses of all kinds and simply must be further investigated for the cause and wise place to start is with tick borne pathogens. Symptoms list and information can be found at the following reputable websites: http://www.ilads.org/PsychiatristBrochure.pdf http://www.canlyme.com/patsymptoms.html http://www.ilads.org/basic.html http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/ http://www.truthaboutlymedisease.com/ http://www.lymeinfo.net/ A search at you tube for Lyme disease is also helpful as in the link here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGQINypsf7g Lastly, it is been suggested and unlikely that the cause of these symptoms can be caused by the fluoroquinolone antibiotic group, cipro, levaquin and others. Although there are people that swear this is at the cause of their symptoms, many Md's do not find it likely and a long standing bacterial infection is more likely the root cause.

Arousal is general physical and psychological activity. Anxiety is a negative emotional state with feelings of worry, nervousness and apprehension that is associated with the activation of the body.

What do you mean life is too short. Life is the longest thing you will ever do.

It can vary greatly. Some surgery can be done at your local vet's clinic. But more complicated problems must go to a larger hospital. So it can be anywhere from a few hundred to thousands of dollars. Also discuss with your vet about the dangers of horses under general anesthetics. And wherever you take your horse you will need to talk about finances with them. When your horse is sick or injured that last thing you want to worry about is money. Unfortunately the hospital or vet that you take him to will what proof of payment.

The best treatment for an anxiety disorder is often cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT. This is a well-established, highly effective, and lasting treatment.

OK. You should go back to the beginning of this ADD forum and read all the questions relating to wellbutrin. They sum up a lot of basics in many easy to read packages. ALL of these topics clearly state that you should NEVER combine Wellbutrin, which affects dopamine and can be over stimulating, or any serotonin re-uptake inhibitor with a Bipolar disorder (unless your doctor KNOWS you have Bipolar and CAREFULLY monitors every single mg you put in your hole) because of the various life threatening affects: suicide, homicide, violent acts of uncontrolled MANIA, and you can guess the rest.

The thing is... It could turn your already screwed-up brain chemistry into a bunch of unbalanced equations (crude analogy) -- AND we all know what happens to unstable equations/solutions in the lab! THEY EXPLODE (more or less)!!! Although I am going a little extreme here, BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.

Please go to a doctor and engage him/her in a detailed description of your TRUE/Noticeable symptoms (be sure to bring the printed information you found on the internet regarding what you think is wrong with you) BEFORE trying to self diagnose or *God forbid!!* SELF MEDICATE!!! you could be putting your friends/family/school/neighborhood at risk as well as yourself.

Lithium, Abilify, etc. treat Bipolarbecause they are MOOD STABILIZERS. Notice the key word: "STABILIZE"

I have heard of mood stabilizers being supplemented with ADHD medication Strattera, only because it happened to me. I am assuming that my Dr. figured Adrenaline really wouldn't mess with mood swings. he was right. it didn't do anything at all! haha. go figure. turns out I don't really have Bipolar after all -- that's probably why he subtracted the strattera and added two SSRI's to the mind cocktail: Abilify, Lexapro, AND Trazadone (which is actually an antidepressant disguised as a sleeping pill). I guess he thought the ADD was the mania part and the depression was the other end of the Bipolar spiral. he never said anything to me- I'm just assuming. But if that's the case, why didn't he prescribe another ADHD med? MAYBE he thought I was schizo and THAT'S why he prescribed the abilify (seriously). He was a pill pusher from the go-go. Asked me ten question's then handed me a prescription a mile long (most doctors aren't like this). didn't do a thing but take my extremely fun and vivid dreams away. They weren't hurting anyone.

ANYWAY - turns out I am ADHD with MILD depression resulting from the ADHD. I am two and a half weeks into Wellbutrin XL (1st week 150mg, the rest 300mg)

CONS -- I have side effects of insomnia, and I had a couple sudden extreme cases of irritability that lasted for about 45 minutes-- but I am usually irritable around 1/4 of a day anyway, just not that severe. That's probably not going to last (body getting adjusted), but you never know. I don't know if the insomnia is here to stay- I need four more weeks to tell. No change in sex drive yet (usually Wellbutrin either makes you hornier or there is little to no affect).

PROS -- ENERGY!!! I am not in the bed for 12 hours or more (sleeping ;} of course). I feel like dancing! Not so much the social part-need to work on the withdrawn issue-but the activity, definately. I already unloaded my mom's packed van up a flight of stairs into her new APT. AND I actually did a chore!!! I dried the clothes!! all in one night. I am actually acting on my responsibilty and obligation guilts instead of just feeling them tear me into little fatigued peices of frustrated disorganization. concentration HAS IMPROVED. I never thought I would say that about a non-stimulant. As it turns out- I feel pretty stimulated. I think it was the dopamine all along. I tried the SNRI. I tried the SRI. I even tried Strattera! and now!!! it was the DNRI all along (not official names but you know what the letters stand for). Go figure. stimulants still work for me by the way- but if Wellbutrin really works out in the long run (2-3 months is all I'm able to give for trial and error. If it doesn't work by then I'm back on the speed or I'm on the street.) I won't have to be a tweaker anymore!!! (JOKE!!) I can never overdose on that crap either. not that I've tried, I forgot I had taken a dose so i went ahead and took another one and it made me fall asleep. Happened again, this time just four hours after I got up! took too much and I crawled back in the bed again for a five hour nap.

Feel free to share your oppinions on this delicate matter and PLEASE -- I am 19 years old, I am scatter-brained, and I collect weird bits of info from (sometimes) misinformed individuals -- CORRECT ME if I am wrong!!!

ANXIETY, RESTLESSNESS AND TENSION The embryo or fetus does not seek freedom to break open womb "the prison" in which they live. A bud does not seek to blossom instantly into flower. A seed does not seek freedom to become a tree instantly. A musician does not seek freedom to express rhythm and melody instantly. What makes you anxious and tense? What makes you restless? Is it lack of freedom? No! Being in disharmony and discord with nature make you isolated, anxious, restless and tense! The freedom of unrestricted indulgence/exploitation or abstinence/deprivation in sexual and other physical pleasures leaves you empty and pitiable at the end. Freedom is therefore being one with the nature's innate and "timed" melody and harmony! Freedom is liberty to enjoy this triumphant cosmic romance! This you can certainly achieve through NAMASMARAN and excel in your own and global blossoming! It is for you to verify this revitalizing, rejuvenating and liberating power of NAMASMARAN!

according to wikipedia that is an unnamed phobia

So Wiki.Answers is going to name it "toasterphobia." and it will forever be known as such.

Yes it can. Narcissism is really a person that considers "their way" the right way and will argue until death that they are right. Narcissistic people can be perfectionists in many aspects of their lives and this, in turn, can lead to an Obsession Compulsive Disorder. Say your husband was a slob, but when he was going to go fishing with his buddies he had all his equipment laid out in a certain manner (a certain place for a certain item) and it had to be just right and if you came along and moved anything they could well fly into a fit of anger. Don't be so sure that person with OCD is Narcissistic. OCD is a true disease (repetitive habits) and the brain is the most undiscovered organ in the body (odd to me, because that is what keeps us moving and functioning) and it hasn't been until the last 10 years that scientists are beginning to realize how amazing our brains really are. We are much more capable of expecting more from our brains than we realize. Such as ESP (mothers usually have this) or, if looking after someone you love that is very ill the caregiver may "get a feeling" that something isn't right with the person they love and rush home to see what is wrong. Mental Telepathy is high on the list too. I do research on the brain in particular and got interested in it because in the past I've suffered from panic attacks and Agoraphobia and at that time little was known about it. I am always up-to-date on what is going on scientifically and one thing that I always knew and mentioned to my husband is that scientists are beginning to realize that in the not too distant future they will be able to insert a sort of "pacemaker" into the brain and control certain functions of the brains way of thinking and who knows, this could lead to helping people with other diseases which will not allow them to control different parts of their body. They are striving for this electronic device to be accepted by the FDA in the next 5 years. Here's hoping! Only a professional can diagnose a person, and if we do this to a family member or friend then we are practicing "arm chair psychology" meaning, we are smug enough to sit back and label someone and think we know it all. If you want to help anyone with psychological disorders it's best to get them to a psychologist. Marcy

Generally there is no warning and a panic attack may come on suddenly which is why it creates so much general anxiety, even before the next panic attack starts because one may worry that they may get one. It can often prevent some people from doing things they normally would out of fear of getting a panic attack.

No

It is a neurohumoral involuntary reaction, unlike the acting of anger, which is voluntary. Reactions result from stimuli coming from inside and outside. They may come from any of your systems or cells in the body and they may come from the external surroundings affecting your body cells! One's response to anger itself may trigger anger!

At the first sign of one, employ an ANTI PANIC ATTACK breathing technique. Advice from a published psychiatrist on controlled breathing: (1.) Get a clock, or watch with a second timer. (2.) Practise for 5 minutes, 4 times daily, until proficient. (3.) Take a small breath in, and hold it, for 6 seconds. (4.) Think to yourself: "RELAX", just before breathing out. (5.) Try to feel a sense of releasing tension, as you breathe out. (6.) Breathe in for 3 seconds, then out, for 3 seconds. Try to make your breathing very smooth, and light, as you breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth, or nose. (7.) For the next minute, continue to breathe in, and out, every 3 seconds. (8.) Go back to step 3, at the end of the minute, and proceed through to step 7, doing this for 5 minutes. Use this at the very first sign of a panic attack starting, or any time you feel anxious, or tense. Similar, but simpler advice, from a clinical psychologist is to breathe in to the count of 3: (one thousand one; one thousand two; one thousand three) each takes around a second to say to yourself, in your mind, and out to the count of 3.

There does not appear to be a scientific term to specifically describe the fear of being jealous. Zelophobia is the fear of 'jealousy', but it is unclear whether this applies to a fear of being jealous of others, or a fear of others being jealous of you. It may apply to both.
