Sometimes people can feel anxious about their everyday lives and certain events. There are different kinds of anxiety disorders that people can get. Panic disorders are episodes of fear that strike often and sometimes without any warning.
Post traumatic stress disorder is probably the best known anxiety disorder, it is no longer a phenomenon that affects soldiers alone. If you have ever been involved in a car crash, a physical assault, or some sort of abuse then you would most likely be suffering from post traumatic stress.
If you are washing your hands constantly even though you know they are clean, or doing some other repetitive behavior that you are unable to stop then you may well be suffering from a obsessive compulsive disorder.
If you have anxiety coupled with either a social phobia or a specific phobia it can feel like the world is coming to an end. Social phobias usually display as a fear of embarrassment, humiliation and anyone looking at you. Specific phobias are as they say a phobia of a specific item, person or action.
A vast number of people suffer with generalized anxiety disorder, constant worrying about their daily routine and events that are happening to them. These events will often seem of no consequence to others but they will cause huge anxiety to the sufferer. This anxiety can display as fatigue, tension and even constant headaches and nausea.
People with anxiety will often wait months before going to see their Dr and when they do see a Dr the first step is often medication. A mixture of therapy and medication will usually be offered as a solution by your Dr.
As anxiety disorder become better understood and more widely reported the medical industry has started to come up with newer and hopefully more effective medications for people who suffer from both specific and social anxiety.
When we talk about using therapy to treat anxiety we normally mean either behavioral therapy or cognitive behavior therapy, they focus on changing your actions and will try and stop the behaviors that are unwanted from happening.
If you act certain ways in a specific situation and that causes you anxiety then you need to change the way you act. That is the basic theory behind the use of cognitive behavioral therapy. - 16004
