A common disorder that affects an estimated 3 to 4% of the population is called, generalized anxiety disorder. With this disorder, fear, worry, and anxiety fills this person's life. Sufferers with this disorder are always dwelling on the "what ifs" of every situation. They feel as if there is no way out of the vicious cycle of anxiety and worry. These people become depressed about their lives and their inability to stop worrying.
Generalized anxiety disorder victims do not generally suffer from panic attacks and don't avoid situations. They usually suffer from the inability to shut the mind off, and are overcome with feelings. This person is aware that these feelings are irrational, but the feelings are also very real for them. The mood changes from day to day, or even hour to hour, in this person. Mood swings and anxiety become a pattern that severely disrupts their quality of life.
People with generalized anxiety disorder often have physical symptoms like sleep disturbances, headaches, inability to concentrate, irritability, frustration, and trembling.
Other types of anxiety disorders are:
Phobia, fearing a specific object or situation
Obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD), a system of ritualized behaviors or obsessions that are driven by anxious thoughts.
Post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD), severe anxiety that is triggered by memories of a past traumatic experience.
Once receiving the proper treatment, most people who suffer from anxiety disorders begin to feel better . Since each person's anxiety is caused by a unique set of factors, it can be difficult to identify the correct treatment . When treatment is not immediately successful or takes longer than hoped for, the client can become frustrated . Depending on the client, it can take a few weeks or months of treatment . With some it may take a year or more.
Anxiety disorder treatment depends on the severity and length of the problem. An important factor is the sufferers willingness to actively participate in treatment . He or she can learn to change the way the brain responds to familiar thoughts and feelings that have previously caused anxiety.
When a person with panic is motivated to try new behaviors and practice new skills and techniques, he or she will respond to treatment better and faster. Willingness to change is a huge step in recovering from anxiety disorders and the belief that you are not stuck with living with the panic for life will set you free from anxiety disorder for good.
