Anxiety Disorders

This is called Suspense, for the reader has an excited anticipation to know what will happen.

Weight, cholesterol, Ph, hormone levels. It's not just these three. There are literally thousands of conditions that can be passed down through DNA. Tsachs, etc.

Vigintiphobia. This term is actually used in pediatrics to refer to the pediatrician's irrational fear of the number 20, in the sense of having a fear of the newborn baby's bilirubin level exceeding the arbitrary limit of 20 mg/dL, rather than looking at the big picture clinically.

Just tell them. Unless they were the cause, they should understand. If you do not think they will, then get some help from your counselor. If you are not getting counseling, call your local mental health association or other social services provider for referrals.

If you have been interacting with them, they will have sensed the problem anyway.

Panic attacks are caused by imbalances in brain chemistry that cause a spontaneous triggering of the "fight or flight" reaction. They have nothing directly to do with what you eat.

-Although sometimes caffeine and alcohol can have negative affects on those with anxiety disorders.

I wouldn't label it as a phobia, I'd label a fear of being lied to as 'trust issues'.

Psychological therapies fall into three general categories: * Behavioural * Humanistic * Psychoanalytic Behaviouraltherapies work with conscious processes and focus on cognitions and behaviours. Humanistic therapies seek to empower the client through self actualisation - working with the 'here and now'. At the University of Leicester, all our courses are based on a psychodynamic model. Psychoanalytic therapies have unconscious processes at the heart of the work. Psychodynamic counselling is derived from psychoanalysis and the work of Freud and subsequent psychoanalytic theorists. It is a model that uses psychoanalytic concepts to explain human growth and development, and the nature of psychological problems. Counsellors are not analysts and they can expect to work in a broad range of settings, with both long and short term clients. Psychodynamic counselling uses the therapeutic relationship to gain insight into unconscious relationship patterns that evolved since childhood. Memories and other evidence of early relationships are used to make sense of current concerns. The process of change occurs as clients become more aware of the power of the unconscious, including defence mechanisms, instincts and rules for life, to influence behaviour, and hence more able to control their actions and responses. The therapeutic relationship in contemporary psychodynamic counselling is based on acceptance, empathy and understanding, with an emphasis on developing a good working alliance that fosters trust. The counsellor takes account of the real world of the client, including the impact of trauma, cultural difference, sexual orientation, disability and social context. Psychodynamic counselling skills and theory can be valuable in many working and social environments. The insight and understanding about human functions gained from psychoanalytic theory, can enhance the life of the counsellor as well as the client, and can be put to a variety of good uses.

depends on the specific disorder and a wide variety of factors, including the patient's age, sex, general health, living situation, belief system, social support network, and responses to different anxiolytic medications and forms of therapy.

I have it an it makes you feel like everyone's judging you and just basically talking about you, and in school I can't speak to anyone anymore because I'm simply to scared to and I don't understand why no matter how hard I try I just can't and I can't pay for things in shops because I'm to scared to I'll get my mum to because if I don't I'll flip out and have a panic attack the worst thing is, is when someone asks you "why don't you speak" and I never know what to say and I feel like crying and it's not nice and people don't understand why I don't speak and it can Effect a lot of things like ordering something in a cafe to paying in a shop to just speaking it makes you feel very very lonely because I don't have any friends because of it anymore

Behavioral symptoms of anxiety include pacing, trembling, general restlessness, hyperventilation, pressured speech, hand wringing, or finger tapping.

humans have some power over their reactions to anxiety-provoking events and situations. Cognitive therapy and meditation or mindfulness training appear to be beneficial in helping people lower their long-term anxiety levels.

Mazeophobia is the fear of being lost. It comes with a feeling of absolute dread when asked to go to a new place or go somewhere unfamiliar alone. Some of the fear can be alleviated by using GPS in the car and on one's cell phone.

There are different types of anxiety disorders. Most people worry about things, having an AD means you worry about something more than normal. Say if someone forgot to ring you back a person would be maybe a little worried but a person with AD would worry and worry and worry about it, they might even have an anxiety attack. Its like extreme worry and it can be severe.

The prognosis for recovery depends on the specific disorder, the severity of the patient's symptoms, the specific causes of the anxiety, and the patient's degree of control over these causes.

Seredyn is manufactured by BioNeurix Corporation and claims that their product provides fast-acting, long-lasting anxiety relief. The ingredients are quite common and there were a few concerns that came up during our review. First, all of the ingredients for Seredyn are listed but there is no mention anywhere on the site exactly how much of each ingredient is included in the formulation. This "oversight" is typically used to hide the fact that the ingredients in the product are insufficient and do not match results of clinical studies. Secondly, they claim it helps you relax in as little as fifteen minutes. While the ingredients included in the formula may have some efficacy in alleviating anxiety symptoms in sufficient quantities, there is no scientific evidence that it will work in as little as 15 minutes.

You'll often find different all natural anti-depressants containing a confusing array of ingredients. You should definitely look for a product that contains ingredients like Kava Kava, 5-HTP, Valerian, GABA, and L-Theanine which have clinical proof supporting their effectiveness. More importantly, not all products contain the quality and/or quantity of necessary ingredients to effectively minimize depression or anxiety symptoms such as fatigue, feelings of hopelessness and sadness, loss of pleasure, feelings of jitteriness or worry. That's why you'll need to do a little bit of research to find the best, most potent brand for your needs.

Janice McAllister, a respected health and wellness writer from Web Health Clinic did a fantastic review on depression and anxiety symptom relief products and their actual effectiveness in a recent feature, the results are quite surprising. See the page link listed under Related Links.

The accepted phobia name for this condition is Ballistophobia.

Anyboy can have an anxiety disorder. Typically they develope out of depression or some kind of traumatic event. If one has a family history of anxiety disorder, they're more likely to develope it. In many cases, this disorder can come up when a phobia (or extreme fear) gets out of hand to the point where it deeply affects the sufferer's life.

The Phobia of flying saucers is known as Britphobia. This phobia was first declared in the late 1800's when a man named Britt Sloan in the provence of Evanston Wyoming was so afraid of men from space he would not go out side if there was cloud cover. He was put in a mental institution for three years and then disapeared and was never seen again. His family was sure he was taken by the very thing he feared the most.

Generalized anxiety disorder is a common problem that can be easily treated with medication. Some of the most obvious symptoms are racing of your heart, loss of appetite, sleep disturbances, and a feeling of panic.

Cymbalta is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs). Cymbalta works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances in the brain (serotonin and norepinephrine), which helps to improve certain mood problems. Cymbalta is used to treat major depressive disorder and general anxiety disorder. It is also used to treat a chronic pain disorder called fibromyalgia, and to treat pain caused by nerve damage in people with diabeties (diabetic neuropathy). Cymbalta may also be used for other purposes not listed. Important information about Cymbalta Do not take Cymbalta together with thioridazine (Mellaril), or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate). You must wait at least 14 days after stopping an MAOI before you can take Cymbalta. After you stop taking Cymbalta, you must wait at least 5 days before you start taking an MAOI. You may have thoughts about suicide when you first start taking an antidepressant, especially if you are younger than 24 years old. Your doctor will need to check you at regular visits for at least the first 12 weeks of treatment. Call your doctor at once if you have any new or worsening symptoms such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Cymbalta. Alcohol may increase the risk of damage to your liver. Cold or allergy medicine, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures or anxiety can add to sleepiness caused by Cymbalta. Tell your doctor if you regularly use any of these other medicines. Cymbalta can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Before taking Cymbalta Do not use Cymbalta together with thioridazine (Mellaril), or an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), tranylcypromine (Parnate), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), or selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam). Serious and sometimes fatal reactions can occur when these medicines are taken with Cymbalta. You must wait at least 14 days after stopping an MAO inhibitor before you can take Cymbalta. After you stop taking Cymbalta, you must wait at least 5 days before you start taking an MAOI. Do not use this medication if you are allergic to duloxetine, or if you have untreated or uncontrolled glacoma Before taking Cymbalta, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have: liver or kidney disease; seizures or epilepsy; a bleeding or blood clotting disorder; glaucoma; bipolar disorder (manic depression); or a history of drug abuse or suicidal thoughts. If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take Cymbalta. You may have thoughts about suicide when you first start taking an antidepressant, especially if you are younger than 24 years old. Tell your doctor if you have worsening symptoms of depression or suicidal thoughts during the first several weeks of treatment, or whenever your dose is changed. Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms. Your doctor will need to check you at regular visits for at least the first 12 weeks of treatment. FDA pregnancy category C. Cymbalta may be harmful to an unborn baby, and may cause problems in a newborn baby if the mother takes the medication late in pregnancy (during the third trimester). Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. Cymbalta can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this medication. Do not give Cymbalta to anyone younger than 18 years old without the advice of a doctor

The opposite of ADD or ADHD is OCD.

The brain is split into hemispheres. Between the two hemispheres, there is a gland that transmits information back and forth between the two sides. The frontal lobe is the part of the brain that controls personality, attention, and the ability to make wise decisions (this is the last part of the brain to develop, which usually takes place around the age of 25 years old). AD(H)D is simply an under-active (or under-stimulated) gland.

The part of the frontal lobe that is saying "hey, this is a really bad idea", is getting outweighed by the side of the brain that says, "this is going to be really fun". Because the gland creates an uneven distribution of thoughts, decision making abilities are seemingly easy, but frequently unwise. This is often referred to as impulsive behavior (also attributes to the "behavior problem"). In addition to the impulsive behavior. If you're able to understand the root cause, then it is easy to see how there are many, many more things that are associated with ADD, than simply the inability to stay focused on a general topic for any length of time.

Without writing a lengthy paper on it, I'll explain how OCD is, in fact, the opposite of AD(H)D. Before I do that, I would like to say that I believe the hyperactive part of AD(H)D is likely something other than ADD. They are frequently associated with each other, but I believe they are not necessarily directly linked. This, I can certainly be wrong about, but from what I've studied and experienced, I'm getting a strong indication that they are not one in the same. One thing is certain; every person is different, and experiences a significant variation in symptoms, with a significant variation of degree.

If an under stimulated gland causes a person to not be able to concentrate on a given subject or task for any length of time, causes the mind to have reduced inhibitions, impulsive behavior, poor hygiene, an unctroloable desire to express his or her thoughts immediately as they come, and so on, the over stimulated gland is quite the opposite.

With the over stimulated gland, you get what is most commonly referred to as obsessive compulsive behavior. Depending on the frontal lobe of the given person (what's important to that person), he or she can experience a strange ability to read lengthy books from start to finish in virtually one sitting. He or she may have an extremely difficult time making a decision because their mind is stuck weighing out all of the pros and cons, without the ability to come to a final conclusion. He or she may have extremely high anxiety because their natural insecurity is exaggerated because a single situation that would make him or her slightly nervous gets stuck in his or her mind, being played out in every single worst case scenario possible, until it is completely thought out... then it's all thought out over again... and then again (hyper paranoia). If this person is left alone, he or she can create a fictional scenario that he or she truly believes is real and there is nothing they can do to get their minds to shift gears or change to something else. It can create a severe anxiety attack or even a nervous breakdown. If a person is naturally a clean person or has a fear of being sick (maybe a natural hypochondriac), that person can be so fixated on what germs can do if they are not under control that they become to the unknowing world to be a germaphobe, who obsessively washes or sanitizes his or her hands and everything around him or her. If a person grew up in an environment where holiness and purity is the focus, and the child grows to really respect and want to pursue holiness and purity, the over stimulated gland will cause that person to spend his or her entire life pursuing nothing but that. He or she will never, and I do mean never, do anything to break any rule at all, ever. That person would virtually martyr himself or herself over not telling his or her wife/husband that he or she looks fat in the outfit that was just put on. Even the simple "white lies" are far more than simple to this person.

It is because the gland is over active that the brain is overwhelmed by "this or that" statements or "if/then" statements, that never get resolved. The OCD type of person could listen to the same song over and over and over again. They are frequently completely oblivious to their surroundings. We can go on and on and on, just like with the ADD.

When we understand that the gland between the two hemispheres is either under stimulated for the ADD, or over stimulated for the OCD, it is very easy to see many, many symptoms that are associated with each.

Before, when I was offering my opinion that the hyperactivity is not necessarily associated with ADD, I believe that the person who naturally has a lot of energy, simply expresses that energy without reservation or discipline, because the impulse to express it is significantly outweighed by the thought of "this is not the appropriate time or place to express this energy". It's an expression or inhibition problem, not an energy problem. To further support this, look at an ADD child or adult who is naturally lethargic. (Unfortunately, the lethargic people with ADD often slip through the cracks, as children, because their behavioral problems do not present themselves in a disruptive form, thereby reducing the attention drawn to and therefore given to the problems) He or she will take every chance he or she can get to take advantage of the opportunity to relax or veg-out. He or she will often create the opportunity, even to their detriment, in the same way as the hyper-active person, only it usually flies under the radar.

So now, if we were to say "ADHD", it would be like saying Attention Deficit (Hyperactive or Lethargic) Disorder, which simply isn't logical, based on what we know to be the root cause of ADD/OCD. It's simply ADD (perhaps ADD with hyperactive expressions, or ADD with lethargic expressions).

I hope this makes since.

If you're ADD and you made it all the way through this, congratulations... I know it was hard, and probably took a long time. Medication will change your world.

For both the ADD and the OCD, don't let anyone tell you that "you can do it without medication". They have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. No one who legitimately has ADD would say something so ignorant, and unless he or she has ADD, there is no way they can possibly understand your struggle. They'll probably say something like "if you just work a little harder or if you just ____, I know you can ___". If only it were that simple. Someone who tells you that you can "manage" your condition without medication would be like someone telling the person with bi-polar disorder that he or she can simply manage the condition without medication. We all know how foolish that statement would be, and the two conditions are very similar, in that they are neurological, not psychological or behavioral. There is no trained behavior that can correct the stimulation between the hemispheres of the brain. Although you can somewhat mask the condition, and somewhat manage it, you will never, ever, EVER perform at your true potential without the medication. (This comes from 13 years of experience working with these conditions.) Along with the medication, however, I cannot more strongly recommend cognitive behavioral therapy. The two will work hand-in-hand.

Yes, it absolutely can. Anxiety causes your breathing cycle to become rapid and short (hyperventilation) therefore causing you carbon dioxide levels in your blood stream to become imbalanced. This has all sorts of effects on your nervous system including tunnel vision, tingling of your extremities, and could potentially cause you to pass out. Nothing to fear though, as you can't possible damage yourself by experiencing this.

The easy remedy is to bring a paper-bag with you if you experience frequent panic attacks. Breath in and out of the paper bag for about a minute or so and you'll watch the symptoms disappear. The paper bag will force you to get you carbon dioxide levels back in balance. Best of all, this will reduce your anxiety about having a panic attack in the future. This is true, I suffer from anxiety and when I get an attack my extremities become numb, totally normal

Be very careful if considering using the paper bag method, as it may well be related to an increased incidence of heart attacks, possibly from improper use. At the first sign of a panic attack, 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.

Note: The controlled breathing only helps with the symptoms, as do medications/herbal remedies. Address the underlying cause, which requires some form of therapy. Imagine that the cause of your panic; your anxieties, fears, your self doubts, self recriminations, all the agonizing "I'm-so-Stupids"; every painful "I-can't-do-it" are huge raging, hurtful bulls snorting and charging at you. You see them coming at you and you hold out your red matador's cape at arms length and simply let them charge right by. Every time they come at you, hold out your arm with the red cape and let them rage and snort and go right on past. Some people recommend nettle tea, with a little honey. Others use Lavender tea, Lemon Balm, Chamomile, but use no milk or cream with herbal teas, or Valerian (caution: use for 3 weeks; maximum!). Know how these affect you before driving, or doing anything dangerous, and it is far better to use the treatments, rather than relying on herbal remedies.

No. Anxiety and schizophrenia are two different disorders. Anxiety is neurotic, and schizophrenia is psychotic. Although at times anxiety in severe cases can lead to losing touch with reality ( severe anxiety ) it can never lead to a psychotic disorder like schizophrenia.
