In the not so distant past, people with mental disorders are treated as outcasts of society and relegated to insane asylums. Back in the dark ages, it was suspected that malevolent spirits had taken over the body and mind of the host. Now that we are living in the scientific age, psychiatry and psychology have shown that anxiety disorder is just one part of the many types of mental disorders that can happen to anyone.
How do I know if I am afflicted with the disorder? Naturally, one expects to see the red lights flashing or sirens instantly sounding when they are prey to this abnormality, indeed there are a few key signs to look out for. Experts have proven that anxiety is a gradually developing disease that can start from as early as childhood. Emotions are the pawns on the anxiety chess board and are the way in which one can monitor their status quo. In this respect if professional help is sought a medical examination is mandatory as well as a questionnaire that will ask the relevant questions. Genetics is also a way in which the occurrence of the disorder can be tracked; maybe the family has a history of such cases. Excessive perspiration, headaches, repeated pulsations and chronic inability to sleep are common symptoms. Clinical depression patients are also bound to suffer from anxiety, with rare exceptions.
Chronic Unexplainable Fear During an anxiety attack, a person is hit by a sudden unstoppable wave of fear, they can?t stop sweating, they feel disoriented and panic levels are increased. The next stage is paranoia; they feel scared to the point that they can?t do normal tasks or get some sleep. It?s as if they?re seeing the world through a dark veil and can?t turn on the light. These attacks are categorized into general anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, separation anxiety, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and exposure anxiety.
The need for rehabilitation There?s a variety of treatment methods available for anxiety depending on the level of the disorder. The first type requires no medication; a therapist will help in devising a lifestyle or behavior change. Although this has proven to be useful to some, others facing more serious anxiety attacks are prescribed anti-depressants including quetiapine and benzodiazepines. Alternative practitioners will try using lavandula and passion flower in an attempt to calm the nervous system. Behavioral therapists are known to combine both traditional and conventional medication. The patient needs to research the best treatment to meet their rehabilitation needs.
Science is a brave attempt to unravel the unknown using sound reason and empirical evidence. We?re only beginning to understand the human mind, but compared to the near past when we fear what we do not understand, we now take steps to cope with and try to treat unconventional disorders. Things can only get better with more studies; we will just have to keep on trying. - 30437
