Anxiety Control Eat Better not More

By Fabian Vartez

We have all felt anxiety or worry from time to time, especially when a person has to face situations that can be stressful such as speaking in public or going to a job interview. This occurs because anxiety is a common and normal emotion of people in the face of stressful and uncertain situations and the emotion fulfills a useful function that allows us to adapt to life. This type of anxiety can get you alert, helping you be more productive and getting work done more efficiently. There are moments when anxiety, rather than being useful, becomes an obstacle to leading a normal life. This occurs when anxiety symptoms appear for no apparent reason, or the level of anxiety in an event is totally disproportionate to the real danger it poses.

 

It is conclusive for the diagnosis of anxiety that it generates significant discomfort or interferes with its normal life. The problem arises when several symptoms associated with anxiety cause anguish or some functional damage in the person who suffers since it affects the functioning in different areas of his life. For example, social and family relationships, work, school. Then anxiety disorder is diagnosed. The emotions present in anxiety syndromes range from straightforward nervousness to episodes of terror or panic.

Introduction

WE HAVE ALL FELT ANXIETY or worry from time to time, especially when a person has to face situations that can be stressful such as speaking in public or going to a job interview. This occurs because anxiety is a common and normal emotion of people in the face of stressful and uncertain situations and the emotion fulfills a useful function that allows us to adapt to life. This type of anxiety can get you alert, helping you be more productive and getting work done more efficiently. There are moments when anxiety, rather than being useful, becomes an obstacle to leading a normal life. This occurs when anxiety symptoms appear for no apparent reason, or the level of anxiety in an event is totally disproportionate to the real danger it poses.

It is conclusive for the diagnosis of anxiety that it generates significant discomfort or interferes with its normal life. The problem arises when several symptoms associated with anxiety cause anguish or some functional damage in the person who suffers since it affects the functioning in different areas of his life. For example, social and family relationships, work, school. Then anxiety disorder is diagnosed. The emotions present in anxiety syndromes range from straightforward nervousness to episodes of terror or panic.

AN ANXIETY DISORDER is diagnosed when a person:

●  Has an extreme response (for example, a lot of fear) to a situation

●  Can't control your reaction

●  Alters his way of life due to anxiety (for example, does not go out, avoids talking or eating in public, etc.)

It is important to pay awareness to the symptoms to prevent the person suffering from them from having more severe attacks.

ANXIETY DISORDERS ARE very ordinary, and there are efficient treatments. With appropriate treatment, people who suffer from it can learn to better manage and control their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES of anxiety disorders, of which there are important differences. The most common are:

Generalized anxiety disorder

WE ALL WORRY ABOUT things like health, money, or family problems at one point or another. But people with GAD are extremely concerned about these and many other things, even when there is little or no reason to worry about them. They even get very anxious just dealing with everyday things. They believe that things are always going to go wrong. Sometimes worries keep people with GAD from doing daily activities.

GAD develops slowly. It often begins during adolescence or youth. Symptoms can get better or worse at different times, and they are often worse during times of stress.

This type of anxiety is described by persistent and excessive worries that become impossible to control. A person with generalized anxiety can worry about anything and suffer constant fears. It manifests with a lot of restlessness, worries, and excessive tensions that end up becoming chronic. They have trouble sleeping and are always tense and nervous. They are very fearful and commonly anticipate a disaster. Even when nothing seems to provoke your worries, they are always active. Your anxiety is more intense than the reason that justifies it. In many cases, they get irritated for no reason, they tend to feel tired and unmotivated, they have trouble concentrating, they continually suffer from muscle tension in the shoulders and neck more than in other parts of the body, they have sensations in the head, sometimes like tight, tingling and tenderness, even just from touching your hair feel pain.

It is common for the person to feel anxiety symptoms without knowing exactly why. This affects well-being and can even interfere with daily life tasks, as they have the constant feeling that something bad will happen at any moment. For example, a person with generalized anxiety may spend the whole day thinking that her partner will have a traffic accident when she is driving, so she would constantly call him to see if she is okay. This condition tends to be chronic and is more common in women, in people who have abused drugs in the past or have a family history of anxiety.

People with GAD feel anxious and worried most of the time, not just in situations that can be stressful. These worries are intense, irrational, persistent (at least half the days for a minimum period of 6 months), and interfere with normal functioning in daily life (such as work, school, friends, and family), as they are difficult to control.

People with GAD could have visited a doctor many times before discovering that they have GAD. They ask doctors to help them ease their headaches or trouble sleeping, which can be symptoms of GAD, but they don't always get the help they need right away. Doctors can take some time to make sure that a person has GAD and not another disease.

Panic disorder

IN PANIC DISORDER, a person has brief panic attacks, intense fear, and terror, often accompanied by symptoms such as tremors, agitation, confusion, dizziness, fainting, nausea, and shortness of breath. Therefore, a panic attack is when the person feels high levels of anguish and anxiety with intense, terrifying thoughts that something serious may happen.

In panic attacks, fear or discomfort occurs suddenly. With high levels in less than ten minutes, it can last for several hours. It can be caused by stress or even exercise. The specific cause is not always obvious. In addition to recurring unexpected panic attacks, a diagnosis of the panic disorder requires that such panic attacks have chronic consequences, whether it be concern about the consequences of panic episodes, persistent fear of possible future attacks, or fear to undergo significant changes in behavior related to the attacks. Often, the affected person, faced with normal changes in the heartbeat, perceives them as threatening, which leads to thinking that something is wrong with his heart or that he is about to have another panic attack. An anticipatory fear is usually associated with having another panic attack (anticipatory anxiety or fear of fear). In some cases, a feeling of being super alert to the body's physiological functions (hypervigilance) occurs during a panic attack. Any physiologically
