Anxiety Disorder is a psychological condition marked by symptoms of fear and worry as you might have noticed. It can be beneficial in specific scenarios where it prepares our body for incoming threats and helps us fight them.
However, it is considered pathological when the duration of symptoms exceeds 6 months. It may then cause significant interference in your normal and day-to-day functioning. Anxiety disorders are the most common and growing mental health problem across the world.
The anxiety may be specific to particular situations or generalized to diffuse internal discomfort. Your social anxiety, separation anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Furthermore, you may notice people suffering from panic attacks which can create problems for you.
What Causes Anxiety Disorder?
There are no specific causes of anxiety, but there are still a few common reasons why you might feel that way. Physical problems such as medical conditions or drug use can cause anxiety symptoms. So can extreme stress or trauma. If these are the factors causing your anxiety, then treatment should focus on these causes first and foremost.
Anxiety disorders can be caused by a combination of factors, including life events, genetics, and personality traits. Although we don’t fully understand why they develop in some people but not others. Some people may inherit genes that make them more likely to develop an anxiety disorder if they have specific stressors in their life.
Symptoms of Anxiety Disorder
Some commonly experienced symptoms include shakiness, sweating, tachycardia, increased blood pressure, diarrhea, and increased urinary frequency. If you have had these symptoms for more than 6 months, you need to consult a psychiatrist.
Anxiety Treatment Can Help You Get Rid of Unwanted Thoughts
It’s crucial for you to keep in mind that anxiety is a common occurrence. It’s normal to be nervous when taking a big test or presenting a sound speech. However, treatment for anxiety is required when disturbing thoughts and feelings become excessive and prevent you from living your life.
So, if you can’t get through a day, or even a couple of days, without experiencing an anxiety attack, it’s time to seek help. Symptoms you can link with panic attacks may also be present during these attacks. Hence, you can administer these symptoms as well. For example, a panic attack starts with sweaty palms, increased heart rate, shortness of breath, and light-headedness.
