Anxiety Disorders

Yes. "Life".

It is normal for people to come up with an endless variety of mechanisms to avoid feeling emotions. Repression is the inevitable result. By focusing on anything else you can temporarily make emotions disappear from awareness. This is very common.

A willingness to feel emotions, which is not the same as an attempt to adjust how you feel, is the opposite of repression and can feel quite disturbing temporarily. However this willingness is a purposeful shift from repression to awareness that eases the anxiety that occurs from repressing.

Yes, in some cases, anxiety and depression do go hand in hand, some anxieties are worse than others, but usually people with depression do get anxious or apprehensions in certain situations.

Barophobia is the name of the phobia relating to the fear of gravity If we all had this fear we would be scared all of the time because the earth has gravity so we would be around it all of the time

There is no specific phobia of driving in the rain, but Ombrophobia & Pluviophobia both are fear of rain or of being rained on.

There is NO CLEAR history. Notions of OCD have been present since the middle ages, often called "insanity" & people were put into mental assylums.

In the 1900's the mental illness became effical.

People with Ocd often have either touching rituals (where they touch certain objects or have the feeling they must touch something) or they are afraid of bacteria ( ie they are afraid of germs or becoming sick, and or they frequently wash their hands). Some signs are also unusual intelligence, because your mind thinks so much about the actions it does it often results in intelligence.

Phobias are under the general heading of Anxiety Disorders. Agoraphobia is not a "stand-alone" codable disorder. It is included under the specific disorder with which it appears. Specific (or simple) phobias to objects or situations can be coded separately.

Someone suffering from anxiety can learn how to control their panic attacks by learning the signs and symptoms of panic attacks and learning relaxation techniques and how to control breathing. You can learn more about anxiety and panic attacks at the WebMD website.

yep...... bright chances are there...... through meditation n by counting numbers in reverse......

The first step in stopping panic attacks is learning their causes and how to get them under control. With help you should be able to eventually eliminate your panic attacks (or at least make them really rare).

Its impossible to stop your panic attacks without a program or plan. Your psychologist can help you with this, or you can use a self help program. There is a program at http://panichelp.tk/ that is known for delivering good results and eliminating panic attacks fairly quickly.

If you had developmental delays then you would have been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder under the old diagnostic criteria - Asperger Syndrome doesn't have developmental delays, this is the only distinction between Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asperger Syndrome diagnosis - as it is Asperger Syndrome is no longer recognized by the DSM as a diagnosis.

Someone should give you an assessment for Autism, if your counselor can't do this they can refer you to someone who can - this just involves asking questions about your experiences and how you were when you were younger. It's a good idea for you to learn a little more about Autism yourself.

Is it same? Or is it sane? I would HIGHLY recommend that all chemical drugs should be avoided as much as possible in the case of panic attacks.

The reason being that these drugs treat the symptom, and not the root of the problem. In addition, the side-effects many drugs have can be worse than the actual original problem!

Practise Transcendental Meditiation, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Laughter Yoga, or Ki Aikido, REGULARLY (eg. 4 - 5 times/week minimum) to treat panic anxiety.

This is a long-term cure, so patience is required. But it is much preferable to the quick fix of artificial chemical drugs.

I know that ANKYLOPHOBIA is the fear of immobility of a JOINT. Not exactly sure if that can apply to total immobility.. Hope this helps! :)

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) and Serotonin (5-HT) are anxiety releiving neurotransmitters. Benzodiazepines and serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the primary treatments for anxiety disorders. Benzodiazepines are GABA agonists and SSRIs are 5-HT agonists - i.e. they promote the effects of these inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly the limbic system.

We can think of no significance at all, given the lack of details.

Eh, everyone has problems in their own way, but i guess you could say that Alex sortof has soem problems!! But not as much as Abby Mitchell!!

Yes, and you're most likely to faint too.

Yes, panic attacks cause your body to release large amounts of adrenaline. After the adrenaline surge, it's common to feel lethargic or sleepy. Muscle tension during these episodes can also cause an upset stomach. Lack of appetite is also an anxiety symtom in itself.

Just wait and ask some one to chock you.

Anxiety disorder often manifests as IBS. Anxiolytics often rapidly bring good results in the treatment of IBS.

Social anxiety disorder is often related to people that were shy as children. Clinical depression can also be linked to those who were shy children.
