Anxiety Disorders

Some people have had good results from St. John's Wort. See the link below the ads for more on that.

The trouble with medication for depression is that depression has many causes. Our brains are bathed in hundreds of chemicals and enzymes, which must all work together properly. Different psych medications alter different characteristics of our neuro-chemistry, but in truth it is a hit-or-miss practice a good deal of the time.

If one medication is not successful, try another. Depression is not only a debilitating condition, it can also be life-threatening, and it usually becomes worse over time if untreated. You need the guidance of a doctor who treats emotional problems, not just your family physician. They rarely have the proper training.

A final word about "natural" remedies. Much of the concept is blown out of proportion. What is more "natural," an uncontrolled extract of some plant that may or may not have a pharmacological purpose -- touted by non-medical people -- or a medication that has been extensively tested by experts and proven by widespread use? Use your head, and don't be swayed by "natural" anything. Remember that the people in the health food stores mean well, but they are not experts.

One of the main causes of depression these days is homocysteine, according to the LEF (Life Extension Foundation). You can download a paper from their web site about how to reduce homocysteine, but the main thing you want to take to lower homocysteine is folic acid. Unfortunately, folic acid is poorly metabolized by the body. In my journey to conquer my own depression I first took regular folic acid and experienced an inconsistent but noticeable improvment. This told me I was on to something, especially after my research told me that folic acid reduced homocysteine but the body had a hard time using it. So... I searched for a superior form of folic acid. And I found MegaFolinic (Source Naturals) which eliminated two steps of the four-step metabolic conversion. This was a noticeable improvement over the regular folic acid I had been taking, but I could tell I needed something even better. The effect was noticeable and gave me hope, but it still wasn't enough. Then, thank goodness, I found the "real deal" form of folic acid, called L-Methylfolate or 5-MTHF. This is the form of folic acid actually used by the body, and needs no conversion at all! When it first came out though (a couple years ago) it was a "medical food" prescription item, and required a prescription. It was called Deplin. I strongly suggest you read everything on their web site (I don't know if I am allowed to post links here). The information there explained that 5-MTHF is seven times more bioavailable than regular folic acid. I knew immediately that that's what I needed. Problem was, it was expensive. And required a prescription, despite being only a vitamin (folic acid). Well... a couple years passed and I was browsing LEF's web site and discovered that they were now selling it (L-Methylfolate)!!! I was so excited. I immediately ordered two bottles and started taking it. The effect was immediate and very noticeable. I guess they downgraded it (the FDA) from prescription to supplement status. I am now taking it and it has completely eliminated my depression. Consistently.

Any time you take B vitamins (folic acid is a B vitamin) you want to take all the B vitamins with it. So a B complex is good. Also, you need to take a good mineral supplement too. I buy and take the Emergen-C packets and mix them in a glass of water.

TMG and zinc are also important. TMG reduces homocysteine along a different pathway. You have to take enough of it though. And also, be careful not to take too much L-Methylfolate. Consult with your health practitioner. Remember, it is the pure form of folic acid, so it is more "powerful". You can overdo anything, right? Anyway, this was the answer to my depression. There are other things I plan on doing to improve my mood even more, like reducing my estrogen dominance (I'm a man). And there is a really good supplement out of Canada called EMPowerPlus too. Check that out too, on YouTube.

Godspeed.

You can relax your self by putting a pillow in the seat. And if you have some earphones plug them to your phone and put relaxing song.

You enjoy setting objects on fire. Most pyromaniacs fill some sexual void by setting fires and watching them burn. You might be a pyromaniac if you like destroying things with fire and watching the chaos.

It is called Kyrofelonoshophobia (Keer-oh-feelooonoo-shophobia)

The not good enough phobia. It is a self esteem issue Atelphobia is the closest thing I can think of, which is the fear of imperfection.

Keeping citizens in line through fear and violence is not the best way to control a situation. In many places this is even considered against the law.

Some shy girls may indeed like attention, but they might feel uncomfortable seeking it due to their shyness. They may appreciate others taking the initiative to pay attention to them, as long as it is done in a respectful and considerate manner.

I don't know if that's a phobia but the phobia of having a phobia is Phobophobia.

A phobia of Halloween is called Samhainophobia, after the pagan Gaelic festival of Samhain, from which Halloween gets it's roots.

Well, they will be shy at first but then warm up to you and they probably didn't feel comfortable at first but then later on felt more comfortable to be around you.

It's a premonition of their loved ones dying.

There are many reasons one might dream of loved ones dying. One common cause is the normal anxiety stemming from the realization that every person must eventually die, including one's parents and family members. Another very common cause is a change in one's relationships. As young people become less dependent on parents, it is not unusual to have dreams of the parents' deaths, and conversely, for parents to dream of the maturing child's death. The end of a romantic relationship can be depicted as a death in dreams, as can divorce, unemployment or relocation.

You might be a bit worried about a new person or friend in your life letting them too close or might be a bit anxious or worried of some kind it could lead to all different things

This dream could reflect the dreamer's deep feelings of discouragement and depression. It could be a timely notice from the subconscious mind that the dreamer should seek out professional help for depression.

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

Note: The word above is correct and means a fear of long words!

You can't really diagnose gayness until a gay person comes to that conclusion for him- or herself. In the meantime, simply love the child the same as any child and have a home environment that is gay friendly so that if he or she IS gay, he or she also feels comfortable coming out eventually.

Yes, serotonin is known to play a role in regulating mood and impulse control. It is commonly referred to as the "happiness hormone" and is involved in managing feelings of well-being and happiness. Imbalances in serotonin levels have been linked to conditions such as depression and anxiety.

I believe a panic disorder is worse than a panic attack.You can have a panic attack once but when you start having recurrent panic attacks and it begins to affect aspects of your life it becomes a panic disorder.

Here is a link to a useful article on this

Subjective anxiety is a feeling of unease or worry that is experienced by an individual. It is a subjective experience, meaning that it is unique to each person and cannot be measured objectively. Subjective anxiety is often characterized by feelings of tension, nervousness, and fear. It can be triggered by a wide range of events or situations, and may be accompanied by physical symptoms such as racing heart, difficulty breathing, or stomach discomfort. Some people experience anxiety in response to specific events or situations, while others may have chronic anxiety that is not tied to any particular trigger. If you are experiencing anxiety that is affecting your daily life, it is important to seek help from a mental health professional.

Its Pentiliarphobia

There are psychiatric service dogs for several mental disorders including anxiety. Please check the website for the International Association of Assistance Dog Partners (IAADP) for a list of tasks that a psychiatric service dog can perform.

Yeah, Definitely you should be able to qualify.

Sorry about the autism man... that must be a hard condition to live with.

I have ADHD and OCD tendencies, thank god I can speak to other people in an intelligent manner though.

No that is just one of the disorders. You can be ocd over just about anything.

Talk with your local doctor about why you feel anxiety and have scary thoughts and they should be able to help you. You can also distract your self with a good book, music and breathe slowly, it helps you calm yourself

While it is perfectly undersandable that in some situations we feel anxiety about something dangerous, too much anxiety is a symptom of mental illness, quite possibly a bi-polar disorder. This can be treated by mood stabilizing drugs - but don't self-prescribe, see a psychiatrist and get a prescription.

worry, sweaty palms, fast heart rate, shakes, sometimes adrenaline rush, dizziness, light headed, faintness, and sweating. I have had severe anxiety and panic disorder for 6 years..
