Most of us have learned over the years how to deal with stressful situations that we may come up against , we may get annoyed and we may feel frustrated. This is normal, however people who suffer with anxiety feel the same emotions that all of us do but they tend to feel them far more intensely and for extensive periods of time .<br />
<br />
Understanding anxiety can be hard as there are many different types of anxiety that a person can suffer from and some are actually more severe than others. The more severe the anxiety then the longer the symptoms associated with the condition last and the way in which the person behaves can become more and more erratic.<br />
<br />
Anxiety is a state of mind but it can have huge affects on peoples physical health as well as their mental health. People with the most common form of anxiety , Generalized Anxiety Disorder, make up as much as 5% of the population in the USA. These figures show that anxiety is a much bigger problem than most of us realize.<br />
<br />
The biggest problem that one faces if a person is diagnosed with this form of anxiety disorder is that they often have other medical problems which compound the situation. In well over half the people in the USA who suffer from anxiety, they suffer from other forms of this disorder or depression as well.<br />
<br />
The most common symptoms that are associated with this particular anxiety disorder are as follows:- 1. The person feels restless and is constantly on edge and concerned about even the most trivial matters. 2. They may find it difficult not only to sleep but concentrate and will often be irritable as well. 3. Aiming for perfection in everything that they do and will be willing to conform rather than stand out in a crowd. This is because they are actually unsure of themselves and their abilities.<br />
<br />
Working for a living usually brings its own pressures, targets and deadlines to meet , meetings to go to and sometimes work colleagues that are not that pleasant. Most of us don't let these problems bother us long term, if you have a anxiety disorder you won't be able to help but let them take over your mind and build up and up until you can't face work anymore.<br />
<br />
Luckily,as long as they seek medical attention you will find that not just GAD but other anxiety disorders such as Panic Attacks, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can actually be controlled. Your doctor will often prescribe a course of medication to take. By understanding anxiety and how it can affect you and your family, you will be in a better position to deal with it should it arise.<br />
<br />
Anxiety like any mental health issue is more complicated than it seems, it can be affected by something as simple as a diet or lifestyle change. You must be totally honest with your Dr when you go to see him tell him what you eat and drink as well as whether you are on any other medication (prescribed or not).</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br />
