    Anxiety With Depression Can Be Serious

    By on Monday, October 3rd, 2011 | No Comments

    By Sammy Kay

    Anxiety, by definition, is a heightened state of fearful awareness with heart and thoughts racing. Depression, on the other hand, is a dulling of all interest and an inability to concentrate, a lack of energy, and a real sense of not being able to accomplish anything.

    Due to these diverse mood descriptions many may be surprised to learn how often depression presents itself as a secondary disorder in an individual who is already suffering with chronic anxiety. Normal sleep patterns are seriously disrupted for the individual suffering with this combination of mental disorders aggravating the depressive lack of energy, and contributing to more confusing thought patterns.

    Alcohol abuse can quickly become a factor in this combination of disorders, since the sufferer may initially feel they are receiving some relief from their discomfort by drinking to help induce sleep, etc. As in nearly any other instance you can think of, dependency on alcohol never helps a situation in the long run, quite conversely, it adds another dimension to the struggles to overcome.

    Extreme anger is another symptom of this combined disorder, the person may be very quick to rage, and slow to calm down. Many people in both verbally and physically abusive relationships could be helped much sooner if they were able to convince their partner to be tested and then treated for a mental disorder.

    The person with this combination of anxiety and depression is not processing information correctly, and may believe others are against them, and blame especially those closest for their feelings. Unexpected situations are a fact of daily life, but for the individual struggling to make sense out of their uncontrollable apprehensions, in combination with an overwhelming feeling of worthlessness, any change in a routine, or small disappointment may send them into a downward spiral of anger, and aggression with no sensitivity towards the damage they are causing those around them.

    Being anxious and or depressed most of the time makes enjoying life and experiencing any consistent sense of satisfaction unattainable. The obsessive worry and fear, the inability to rationally address any issue at hand, combined with a body that is running at it’s lowest level of productivity, all this magnifies the individual’s feelings of helplessness.

    The all consuming dread and general gloom and doom attitude eat away at any desire to cultivate friendships, appreciate a hobby, or even take a walk. `If only’ can be a prevailing thought, as the unfortunate person struggles to make some sense out of their despair.

    As troubling as these collective disorders are, there is help readily available for those who need it. It would be very wise for the loved one of an individual presenting these behavioral patterns to become as educated as possible in both of these two areas of related disorders.

    Perhaps only then, when the anxious and depressed person is approached in love and concern from a caring person, will they be ready to seek help. If allowed to continue on in the self deprecating and negative life styles these disorders breed, the anguished individual will very possibly go on to add even more disturbing symptoms and phobias to their already distressing repertoire.

    Panic Attack Medications: Proceed With Caution

    By on Friday, September 23rd, 2011 | No Comments

    By Randy Beckett

    Panic attack medication is basically the same medications used for generalized anxiety. Medication is used to treat the symptoms of your attack and no the underlying trigger. The medications that are usually prescribed to patients are for there benefit and should help to provide motivation in moving toward a permanent non-medicated solution for the cause of the panic attacks. It is highly recommended that you seek the attention of a specialist such as a psychologist or psychiatrist in helping you diagnosis your triggers and eventually control or completely alleviate them.

    Medications for controlling anxiety and panic attacks are considered to be very addictive and should be taken with extreme caution. There are seven categories of these medications and they are as follows:

    1.Benzodiazepines: panic, phobias & general anxiety

    •Xanax

    •Klonopin

    •Valium

    •Atovan

    •Serax

    •Librium

    2.Beta Blockers: social phobia

    •Inderal

    •Tenormin

    3.Tricyclic Antidepressants: panic & anxiety; depression & OCD

    •Tofranil

    •Norpramin

    •Pertofran

    •Aventyl

    •Pamelor

    •Elavil

    •Sinequan

    •Adapin

    •Anafranil

    •Effexor

    4.(MAOI’s): panic, phobia, depression

    •Nardil

    •Parnate

    5.(SSRI’s): panic, phobia, depression, OCD

    •Prozac

    •Luvox

    •Zoloft

    •Paxil

    •Serizone

    6.Mild Tranquilizer: general anxiety, OCD

    •BuSpar

    7.Anticonvulsant: panic

    •Depakene

    The main category of prescription drugs used for panic attacks is the benzodiazepines, a select few of the antidepressants and mainly the SSRI’s. The SSRI’s are usually given as a combination therapy along with benzodiazepines.

    As effective as these medications are they are not the cure, they are only the control. There is an underlying reason for your panic attack. Researchers believe that there is a genetic link to panic attacks but there is not enough data to hold up that argument. Specialist believe that there is usually and underlying event that has over time created a growing anxiety level that is triggered by an outside element. The trigger can be food, smell, or other sensitivity issues.

    Most panic attack sufferers have a second level of anxiety and that is the fear of another attack. This fear can be greater than the original underlying cause due to the unknown aspect of the trigger and the timing of the event can be very humiliating.

    Do not depend on these medications alone. They should be used as a short-term relief for your symptoms since they are very addictive. Seek out help through other forms of therapy such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or psychotherapy.

    Besides the medications there are some very successful natural remedies for panic attacks. Hypnotherapy, acupuncture, acupressure as well as selective vitamins and herbs have been extremely successful in relieving the symptoms of a panic attack and can also help control the event of another attack.

    Hypnotherapies along with relaxation techniques have been extremely successful in reducing and eliminating future episodes.

    One last word of caution concerning prescription medication is that the medications themselves may produce anxiety symptoms and trigger another panic attack. Proceed with caution and seek out the help of a specialist. Most general practitioners do not have adequate training in getting to the root cause of your attacks.

    Anxiety – Naturally Of Course

    What causes anxiety? Well if we all knew that wouldnt life be a bed of roses. Being able to nip it in the bud (excuse the pun) before it causes the damage it is capable of like interfering and preventing a person from leading a normal life There are many different theories behind the cause but because each of us differ it makes it more difficult to pin point the specific reason behind its beginning.

    Losing control of your thoughts and actions to an extent that no matter what you say or do is out of your jurisdiction, it is then medical help is strongly advised.

    There is evidence that anxiety concerns develop from physical means like an over active thyroid gland which controls different body functions. Anxiety and drugs (types of medication) is sometimes not a match made in heaven so it is important to talk to your doctor before taking any tablets/pills from over the counter that you are not familiar with.

    Stressful events past or present are main factors also queried behind a persons anxious moments. If depression/anxiety runs in the family then there is an increased risk or possibility that history may repeat itself.

    We all have anxious moments but it is how we deal with these upsets which is the important thing. Anxiety can be brought on by the least little thing but common factors like losing a job, moving house, and parting of the ways from a partner are just a few to mention. To deal with these depressing events we have to learn to cope. By conquering the coping process you will notice your depression/anxiety symptoms easing.

    Relaxation classes like yoga have a great effect on patients who suffer from emotional disturbances in their mind body and soul.

    Anxiety does affect people in diverse ways. Many patients experience anxiety chiefly through emotional /psychological symptoms, while others suffer from physical effects. Either way both are powerful enough to destroy.

    Anyone at anytime can become affected by anxiety. Anxiety is diagnosed as a mental health disorder. Five per cent of the population at some stage in their lives have had an anxiety or depressive bout where it has left them feeling agitated and concerned for their health. Irregular pace of the heartbeat speeding up has given some people reason to believe that their experience of anxiety or a panic session is that of a heart attack.

    Reclaim your mind body and soul naturally if modern science is not your way of dealing with such health matters of which I hasten to add has proven to be very successful in the healing process for anxiety. Natural courses of herbal remedies are readily available but first and foremost consider Yoga.

    To relief stress that comes with everyday commitments then why not follow the millions of people who have chosen yoga to seek peace of mind. This form of exercise is a proven way in getting results. (Thus depending on the patients requirements or severity of his/her condition) Does yoga help? Yes naturally of course.

    Mad Or Sad – Anxiety

    By on Saturday, June 25th, 2011 | No Comments

    By Kacy Carr

    At some stage in our lives we all will have suffered a bout of being anxious due to a bad moment. Missing a bus or late for an appointment is enough to trigger uneasiness, which is quite a normal reaction.

    Prolonged anxiety which meddles with a person’s everyday life tells us that we are now dealing with a condition called (anxiety disorder).

    Coping with excessive anxiety can be a struggle but with the right medical advice and help then this ailment which is associated with other psychiatric conditions such as depression can be tamed. In the UK 1 in 10 people battle to lead a normal life, the severity of anxiety powers is no doubt a mighty force to contend with where the effects can turn a persons life upside down.

    Anxiety that flares up with no identifying reason behind the cause has to be questioned. Strong/severe anxiety that tampers or interferes with daily routines- activities is considered abnormal.

    Symptoms to look out for with (Physical Anxiety) is dry mouth/diarrhoea/abdominal discomfort/breathlessness/fast heartbeat/problem swallowing/dizzy spells/ tightening of the chest. These are a result of when the brain sends out signals to other parts of the body while at the same time releasing stress hormones/adrenalin. Organs affected are lungs heart etc that are now geared up to work faster.

    The fear of going mad and lack of concentration are two serious symptoms endured as well as insomnia and uncontrollable outbursts of rage- anger if suffering from psychological anxiety.

    Medication and treatments like psychotherapy/ counselling and more are available.

    Anxiety is treatable so please if you or someone close is having a bad time trying to cope with any of the symptons mentioned earlier then make an appointment to speak with your doctor.

    Mad or sad

    Some people who suffer from anxiety may appear to look and do things a little differently to which an outsider may find funny, depending on the outsider of course. Because of their lack of understanding on this condition they find it hilarious to poke fun and make nasty remarks towards the person suffering from this condition causing more misery for the sufferer.

    Yes I would say sufferers are mad, mad with the ignoramuses who continue to add to their torment.

    And saddened furthermore at how their tomentors proudly show their ignorance behind the meaning of the word compassion.
