Various Types of Anxiety Disorders
Juliet Cohen recently asked:
Anxiety is a feeling of unease. Anxiety is only considered to be a mental health problem when it is prolonged, severe and is interfering with everyday activities. Fortunately, most anxiety disorders are highly treatable with psychotherapy, drugs, or a combination of both. There are at least nine identified types of anxiety disorders, include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, specific phobia, separation anxiety, school avoidance, and agoraphobia. Anxiety disorders in children can range from a simple adjustment disorder to more difficult and debilitating disorders such as panic disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder. It’s normal to feel anxious when facing something difficult or dangerous, and mild anxiety can be a positive and useful experience. Excessive anxiety is often associated with other mental health problems, such as depression. Unfortunately, many people with anxiety disorders don’t seek treatment because they do not believe they have a legitimate illness, or they fear the reaction of family and friends.
Sometimes anxiety can be associated with a physical illness, such as thyroid disorder. For this reason it’s advisable to see your GP in order to rule out a physical cause. Symptoms occur with varying frequency and intensity but may include all of those listed above as well as trembling, chest pain, nausea, and fear. You may fear you are going crazy or dying. Some people may also have a sense of being detached from reality. Anxiety can be a long-term disorder where you feel worried most of the time about things that might go wrong. Cognitive behavioral therapy is often used, as is psychotherapy and stress management techniques. Drugs used to treat anxiety include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, beta-blockers, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Often, a combination of therapies works best.
What are the types of Anxiety disorders?
There are several major types of anxiety disorders:
1. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): People with Generalized Anxiety Disorder feel anxious nearly all of the time, though they may not even know why.
2. Phobias: A phobia is an unrealistic or exaggerated fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that in reality presents little to no danger. Common phobias include fear of animals such as snakes and spiders, fear of flying, and fear of heights.
3. Social Phobia: Social anxiety disorder can be thought of as extreme shyness.
4. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD): It is characterized by unwanted thoughts or behaviors that seem impossible to stop or control.
5. Separation Anxiety: Separation anxiety is a normal part of child development.
6. Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder: Panic disorder is characterized by repeated, unexpected panic attacks.
Symptoms of Anxiety:
The symptoms can include:
1. Abdominal discomfort.
2. Rapid heartbeat or palpitations.
3. Shortness of breath.
4. Frequent urination
5. Feeling worried or uneasy all the time
6. An inability to concentrate
7. Depersonalisation.
Treatment For Anxiety disorders:
The treatment will depend upon which type of anxiety you are experiencing and how severe it is. Cognitive-behavior therapy is very effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Tranquilisers, such as benzodiazepine tablets, may help to relieve some short-term stress-related anxieties. However, they shouldn’t be taken for long periods because of the risk of addiction. For this reason they aren’t usually prescribed. Antidepressants can treat certain anxiety disorders such as generalised anxiety disorder, social phobia, OCD, and anxiety associated with depression.

When Anxiety Medications Fail
Jon Mercer recently asked:
Many anxiety sufferers turn to medication in an attempt to control stress and alleviate anxiety and panic attacks, but unfortunately, anxiety medications are not always a panacea to restore emotional balance and calm. In fact, anxiety medications do not “cure” anxiety at all — they merely attempt to lessen the symptoms by suppressing the emotional range of the sufferer.
It is also well-known that many anti-anxiety medications have a wide variety of side effects, ranging from weight gain to sexual dysfunction; and in some circumstances, the medications can even make the patient’s anxiety worse. Fortunately there are alternative methods of restoring balance and eliminating anxiety, without the use of prescription medications. Let’s take a look at a few of the most common methods of controlling and even eliminating anxiety without resorting to potentially dangerous drugs.
Anxiety is not a disease; it is an imbalance of the emotions. In other words, anxiety is a problem that is most commonly caused by our habitual way of thinking and reacting to the world–it’s a type of “thinking problem.” Therefore, the ideal way to alleviate anxiety and panic attacks is by addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms, and this can best be done by using exercises and techniques to reduce stress and improve feelings of well-being on a daily basis.
Relaxation exercises have been clinically proven to significantly reduce anxiety symptoms. Techniques such as tai chi and yoga benefit many anxiety sufferers, and can be practiced by virtually anyone of any age (assuming they are physically healthy and capable of mild to moderate exertion). Both tai chi and yoga are exercises which help to calm the mind, and can improve our mental focus and clarity by “slowing down” our thought processes, and concentrating on breath and movement.
In fact, focused breathing exercises are themselves a useful tool to reduce stress. Meditation is a similar practice that has also been proven to have a positive effect on restoring balance to the emotions, and even improve the functioning of the immune system and our overall physical health. All of these techniques are great alternatives to using anxiety medications, and best of all they are all natural, and have no known side effects or withdrawal symptoms.
But along with all of these stress reduction techniques, it is also important to eat a balanced diet, and limit our intake of stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine, both of which have been shown to aggravate anxiety symptoms. Cutting out (or at least cutting down on) coffee and soft drinks is important for anxiety sufferers. Reducing sugar intake is also helpful to avoid the “wired” feelings that can sometimes bring on anxiety or panic attacks.
Another aspect of your diet that can affect anxiety is food allergies. While there are many different types of food allergies that can cause emotional imbalances like anxiety, one commonly undiagnosed food allergy is dairy products. Some anxiety sufferers report immediate reduction in their overall feelings of stress and anxiety by simply eliminating dairy from their diet.
And last but certainly not least, anxiety sufferers should consider their overall attitude and state of mind. Because anxiety is a thinking problem, and not a disease, our habitual thoughts play a great role in its development. Positive thinking is not just for motivational speakers or the blissfully ignorant among us — is also an extremely useful tool in restoring balance to our lives, and eliminating chronic anxiety. In fact, there is no anti-anxiety medication on the market that is as powerful as your mind!
Refusing to be a victim and assuming responsibility for your state of mind is empowering, and can have very real, measurable results in improving anxiety situations. After all, anxiety and panic attacks begin with thoughts, which just prove how powerful our thoughts can be.
This is great news for anxiety sufferers, because if our thoughts are powerful enough to generate an anxiety attack in the first place, they are also powerful enough to eliminate anxiety problems, and bring us back into a balanced emotional state. When anxiety medications do not provide relief from the problem, using a combination of the all-natural methods listed in this article is a great alternative to overcoming anxiety and panic attacks once and for all.

Lesser Known Types of Anxiety
Sandy Adamson recently asked:
Anxiety is simply excessive worry or exaggerated reaction to a triggering event. Although most people do not realize, there are various types of anxiety. If you feel that you are suffering from anxiety, you may like to have a brief learning about the different types of anxiety, including the lesser known ones. That will help you with symptom description, which in turn will help your doctor in diagnosing.
The most common forms of anxiety are generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social phobia and other phobias, panic disorder and separation anxiety disorder. These disorders are attributed to past traumatic events or genetics, and it is rare that anxiety is brought about by no reason at all although cases like this have been reported.
Now, let’s focus on the less common forms of anxiety, and I have listed some of them below. These are all common worries that one may go through at one time or another, and often they are not perceived as disorders. However, it never means that disorders haven’t been developed from such anxieties.
1. Existential Anxiety
This type of anxiety is related to spirituality and mortality. Sigmund Freud called this type of anxiety as the “trauma of non-being”. When a person realizes that he is not immortal and will die someday, this can load him with enormous worry.
Freud believed that religion then becomes the coping mechanism so that the sufferer’s unwholesome fear of death will be minimized. This form of anxiety can be somewhat harmless and may even motivate ingenuity; but it can also be hazardous if a person starts to have strong suicidal urges because of feelings of hopelessness.
2. Boredom Anxiety
This type is fairly obvious and is brought on by extreme boredom and idleness. The person becomes totally bored of his/her present living status, and develops into anxiety for no apparent reason at all. The solution to this type of anxiety is to help the suffer find out the meaning and happiness in life, be it a hobby or love.
3. Test and Math Anxiety
There have been cases reported that tests and math are sources of anxiety. This is so because all students are expected and supposed to be able to succeed in academic study. They are trained, at a very early age, to think that academic achievement go hand in hand with self worth and that low grades are an embarrassment. This type of anxiety is usually accompanied by physical symptoms like nausea, headaches and dizziness, and can actually hinder the performance of a student. So it is important to make the students today realize that having a low grade is not an equation to the end of social importance and peer acceptance.
All forms of anxiety can possibly lead to serious anxiety disorders with severe emotional and physical symptoms. So, ignoring the initial signs of anxiety never helps in treatment. The correct way is to pinpoint the root cause of your
anxiety and seek professional help.

Getting a Cure for Anxiety
Jocelyn Snider recently asked:
Psychological therapies are much more effective anxiety cure than medications.
It is normal for people to experience anxiety from to time. It makes us cope from very stressful situations.

Anxiety Attack Symptoms – Know the Warning Signs of Anxiety Attack
Michael Lee recently asked:
If you’re experiencing anxiety attack symptoms, then you have to quickly have yourself tested and treated. Recognize the signs of anxiety and take some time to cure it, no matter how hectic your lifestyle is. How do you know if regular conditions that make you worried or uneasy are just normal, or something that needs immediate attention, like anxiety attack symptoms?
Anxiety Attack Symptoms
The most common anxiety attack symptom is intense fear or phobia. This often unfounded fear may be accompanied by any one or more of the following:
• Heart palpitations and faster heartbeats
• Dizziness or nausea
• Pins and needles muscle pain
• Difficulty in breathing
• Hot or cold flashes
• Excessive sweating and/or tremors.
• Chest pain
• Having a feeling of impending doom. You may feel that something bad is going to happen to you or to your loved ones.
• Stomach problems – feeling sick to your stomach, diarrhea and sometimes even vomiting
An anxiety attack usually lasts half an hour or less. It can be a one-time event or a repetitive one. If anxiety attack symptoms are frequent and regular, you may be already suffering from an anxiety disorder. Sometimes, anxiety attacks are triggered by the fear of having another anxiety attack.
Anxiety Disorder
This disorder is characterized by chronic worrying and repeated episodes of anxiety or panic attacks.
Aside from the symptoms associated with anxiety attacks, those with anxiety disorder generally experience difficulty concentrating, change in appetite, frequent need to use the bathroom, insomnia, restlessness, lethargy, irritability, loss of interest in life, muscle tension, fatigue and others.
The most common type of anxiety disorder is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). This is usually associated with a false or irrational fear that something terrible will happen in the future. This could mean being so preoccupied about the cause of your anxiety so much that you cannot focus on other things like work. Sometimes there is no exact cause for the anxiety, though feelings of dread overwhelm the person on a daily or regular basis.
Anxiety Treatments and Medication
A counselor can usually treat mild anxiety. The counselor can give breathing and relaxation exercises to deal with anxiety attacks when they occur. It also helps to do regular meditation on your own.
Some herbs like chamomile, which has a calming effect, can also help. Testimonial evidence shows that valerian and passion flower, when combined, effectively reduce anxiety. Other herbs that can be used for treatment are kava hops, skullcap, motherwort, pennyroyal, St. John’s wort, and linden.
For severe cases, relaxation exercises and herbal remedies may only be supplemental to anxiety medications. Recommended medication especially for GAD is alprazolam, which is most effective for anxiety disorders with biological basis. The right dose of alprazolam, though, differs from patient to patient. Finding the best dose for you may take time, but consulting a good doctor may make it easier.
Understanding anxiety attack symptoms and its signs may help you and others effectively deal with this disorder. With the proper treatment, anyone suffering from anxiety attacks can gradually live a happy and fearless life.

Aside from the symptoms associated with anxiety attacks, those with anxiety disorder generally experience difficulty concentrating, change in appetite, frequent need to use the bathroom, insomnia, restlessness, lethargy, irritability, loss of interest in life, muscle tension, fatigue and others.
The most common type of anxiety disorder is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). This is usually associated with a false or irrational fear that something terrible will happen in the future. This could mean being so preoccupied about the cause of your anxiety so much that you cannot focus on other things like work. Sometimes there is no exact cause for the anxiety, though feelings of dread overwhelm the person on a daily or regular basis.
Anxiety Treatments and Medication
A counselor can usually treat mild anxiety. The counselor can give breathing and relaxation exercises to deal with anxiety attacks when they occur. It also helps to do regular meditation on your own.
Some herbs like chamomile, which has a calming effect, can also help. Testimonial evidence shows that valerian and passion flower, when combined, effectively reduce anxiety. Other herbs that can be used for treatment are kava hops, skullcap, motherwort, pennyroyal, St. John’s wort, and linden.
For severe cases, relaxation exercises and herbal remedies may only be supplemental to anxiety medications. Recommended medication especially for GAD is alprazolam, which is most effective for anxiety disorders with biological basis. The right dose of alprazolam, though, differs from patient to patient. Finding the best dose for you may take time, but consulting a good doctor may make it easier.
Understanding anxiety attack symptoms and its signs may help you and others effectively deal with this disorder. With the proper treatment, anyone suffering from anxiety attacks can gradually live a happy and fearless life.
Symptoms of Anxiety - Physical and Mental
Matthew Hick recently asked:
Anxiety is a complicated thing. Anxiety can easily make an otherwise very happy and healthy person become quite the opposite. Depression and physical sickness can quickly set in as a result of anxiety. Let’s take a much more detailed look at anxiety and its physical and mental signs and symptoms.
Physical symptoms of anxiety:
Have you ever looked at a person and just knew immediately that they were suffering from some sort of anxiety? Perhaps he or she looked haggard, stressed, unhappy, or mentally exhausted. If you didn’t already know it — physically, anxiety can make you very ill. Anxiety over events in your life can cause ever illness from Irritable Bowel Syndrome to heat problems to the common cold. You can become physically ill from anxiety because it actually lowers your immune system’s ability to fight off infections or bacteria. Anxiety strains the heart, and can cause rapid or irregular heartbeat. Severe, recurring and untreated anxiety can ultimately lead to heart attack and stroke.
If you look at a person with severe anxiety, you may be able to see the wrinkles in his or her forehead, the seemingly permanent grimace on the face, and black circles under the eyes. Severe anxiety can also cause him or her to be over or under their normal weight. This is because anxiety often does one of the two things: causes binge eating (which is when a person frequently overeats to deal with stress) or under eating (which is when stress completely wipes out a person’s appetite and they are unable to gain any appetite).
There are other physical symptoms of anxiety that can be found in the manifestation of other mental illnesses. For example, in people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), severe anxiety can cause a flareup of highly obsessive behaviors. A person who is worried about something may obsessively repeat routines in order to alleviate the stress that they are under. Repetition is often a stress reducer for some with OCD. A chronically depressed person, on the other hand, may have a different reaction to anxiety. They may find it impossible to get out of bed in the morning, and therefore miss a great deal of time at work or school. You may notice that these people are physically absent from their usual activities.
Mental symptoms of anxiety:
Mental symptoms of anxiety are stressful to those who struggle with it. Those who suffer from extreme anxiety may find it nearly impossible to focus on anything except the thing that they are anxious or stressed over. It may seem that no matter what they try to focus on, their thoughts always come back to the same negative things. This can cause a highly depressed state in a person suffering from anxiety. It can also cause a person to have a mental breakdown and be unable to preform the day-to-day tasks that they usually do.
Mentally, anxiety can cause a person to become totally changed. Someone who once used to go out and be social with friends may now be a homebody, unwilling to talk much to others. Severe anxiety can cause mood swings, One minute a person an be content, and the next minute they can be completely unreasonable. Anxiety can cause a person to be unusually quite, distracted, and disorganized. The anxiety can be so overwhelming, that the person suffering from it may not want to explain it to others. In fact, it may seem almost impossible for the person suffering from it to even put it into words. Overall, anxiety is an extremely difficult thing for a person to deal with mentally and physically. If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms or have reason to believe that you are chronically stressed, it is in your best interest to seek the help of a mental health professional right away.

Have You Discovered The Cause Of Your Anxiety
Ben Butt recently asked:
Many people have funny notions about what causes anxiety attacks. There are all kinds of myths and misinformation. Anxiety attacks are hard to deal with as it is without having people look at you strangely, like you are afflicted with some sort of communicable disease. Worse yet some people banter around the word crazy when referring to people with anxiety attacks.
If you are a person that is dealing with anxiety attacks, finding information about what the cause of anxiety attack is can be frustrating. There are many different ideas about the causes of anxiety attacks and some of them are wrong. When a person is having regular anxiety attacks they can feel depressed and bad about themselves because they feel it is their fault. Many people feel they are the cause of the anxiety attack and that if they just had greater control over themselves that they would not have them.
Suffererss who have knowledge about the cause of anxiety attacks are the individuals who are most likely to succeed and breakthrough and having this is one of the greatest tools to use to stop them. It is knowledge, not control that is the key to overcoming anxiety attacks.
One of the more common myths about the cause of anxiety attacks is that a person is going crazy, more specifically, that they have some form of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a genetic disorder that is not caused by anxiety. It may contain anxiety components, but is much different than anxiety attacks. People with schizophrenia usually have disjointed thoughts, speech babbling and are plagued with delusions and hallucinations. People with anxiety attacks usually do not suffer from these symptoms.
Schizophrenia usually begins in a persons teen age years and is diagnosable by age 25. Schizophrenia is not a disorder than suddenly appears; it is a gradual debilitating disease that a person is born with. So unless you have a strong family history of schizophrenia it is not something you should worry about nor should you think that it is a cause of your anxiety attack.
Another belief about the cause of anxiety attacks is that it is about losing control. People believe that they will die, lose organ function or lose their grip on reality. People believe that you might go on killing spree or pass out in a car and run into a shopping mall.
These are all fallacies of the mind. You are not going to do any of those things. Anxiety is the bodies natural response to feeling that it is in danger. Anxiety is not dangerous and neither are you.
A lot of people with panic attacks believe they are going to lose total control of themselves. The fact is that most of the anxiety attack occurs in the mind. People around the person having the attack rarely notice they are having a problem. The fear of embarrassing yourself can actually make the anxiety worse. It is the feeling of losing control in front of others that can trigger the anxiety attack. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy except that people usually never lose control of themselves during an anxiety attack.
Some people feel that when an anxiety attack occurs that they will pass out in a public place. They imagine that they will be in the middle of a grocery store lying prone and unconscious in the floor. Worse than that some people believe that they will have an attack and no one will be around. They worry that they will be strewn in some ditch somewhere.
The fact is the fainting is not common with people having a panic attack. Fainting is usually the result of not enough oxygen going to the brain. When a person is having an anxiety attack their heart is usually pumping hard to circulate oxygen rich blood through out the body. A person may feel light headed because they may be hyperventilating but this usually does not lead to a fainting spell.
Another myth about anxiety attacks is that they are somehow caused by the heart. People believe they are having a heart attack. They feel tightness or pain in their chest, their heart is beating fast, they may be sweating and their respirations have increased. It is easy to see where the myth came from but the heart is not the cause of an anxiety attack not does an anxiety attack result in a heart attack.
Heart attacks usually occur when the heart is under stress that is during physical exertion. Panic attacks occur at anytime. Heart attacks are usually abated by resting and reducing the stress on the heart. A panic attack usually goes on and a person must calm themselves mentally before it really begins to subside. It is not a matter of control; it is more a matter of relinquishing control.
If you were to hook a person up to an EKG that is having a heart attack you would see unusual heart beats. A person having an anxiety attack usually only has an elevated heart rate.
The best way to reduce your anxiety of your heart is to see your doctor and have an EKG. Once you realize there is nothing to worry about it should reduce your anxiety over having a heart attack.
As you can see people worry about symptoms of anxiety attacks and misdiagnose themselves. They believe that the cause of an anxiety attack is mental or physical disease. Once they realize that it is not they can learn to overcome anxiety attacks for good.

Do Natural Anxiety Cures Really Work?
Amit Mehta recently asked:
Anxiety cures can come as traditional medicine prescribed by a doctor. Or anxiety cures can take the form of natural supplements.
There are many companies that claim to have all sorts of natural herbal anxiety cures. While these anxiety cures might be effective for some people, anyone considering using them should know that some of these herbal or natural types of anxiety cures are unproven. In fact, a large percentage of these natural or herbal anxiety cures are not backed up with clinical studies.
When considering using natural anxiety cures, be sure to do your homework. Read all you can about what goes into the anxiety cure you’re considering using. If there are any records of clinical studies on the anxiety cure, be sure to read those.
One natural anxiety cure that claims to be backed up with clinical medical data is Seredyn. Seredyn advertises itself as a natural anxiety cure that will help those suffering from anxiety deal with their worries and remain calm and happy.
The reason why Seredyn claims that it is a legitimate anxiety cure made from natural ingredients is because it contains the extract of herbs called Valerian and Passion Flower. Some studies show that these herbs have anti-anxiety properties.
According to these studies, if Valerian is taken in daily doses of 50 to 500 milligrams, it’s been known to be an effective anxiety cure. And a few hundred milligrams of Passion Fruit extract a day is also a good anxiety cure that helps with relaxation.
Some say that Green Tea is also a good natural anxiety cure. It contains L-theanine, an amino acid that has anti-anxiety properties. For it to be as effective as possible as an anxiety cure, it should be taken in doses of 100 to 300 milligrams.
Be cautious, though. Some anxiety cures that claim to contain L-theanine only have a very low amount of the herb. In order to be effective as an anxiety cure, the treatment needs to have high percentages of pure L-theanine.
There are also various other types of herbal drops available that all claim that they are the perfect anxiety cures. They claim to relieve anxiety, stress, irritability, and nervous tension. Suggestions for dose size and frequency for these types of anxiety cures in the form of herbal drops varies. The most common dose suggestion is that a couple of drops be taken three times a day with a glass of water.
Some clinical trials suggest that the herb St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a good natural anxiety cure because it relieves depression with fewer side effects than prescription drugs. But in order to be an effective anxiety cure, St. John’s Wort must contain a high concentration of an active ingredient, hyperforin, which is said to regulate the chemical messengers that control the levels of norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine in the brain. These chemicals effect emotions.
Relaxation techniques can also be good anxiety cures. Listening to calming music, meditation, prayer, and getting enough sleep each night can be very effective anxiety cures.
Some forms of alternative medications and treatments can be considered anxiety cures as well. Acupuncture might work as an anxiety cure by directing your stresses elsewhere. Massage can be an effective anxiety cure because it helps your body relax and helps you deal with anxiety.
