Types of Anxiety - Anxiety Attacks and Disorders - Symptoms:Have you ever stood in front of a crowd and felt nervous or anxious? How about when giving a speech in class at school? Millions of Americans suffer from some kind of anxiety in their life and many of these issues can be overcome. By definition, anxiety is "your body's reaction to a perceived, anticipated or imagined danger or threatening situation". There are 6 recognized groups of anxiety disorders - obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, post traumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. What are the symptoms of anxiety attacks and disorders? You will find both physical and emotional symptoms when looking into anxiety. The physical symptoms can be rapid or irregular heartbeat, stomach problems, breaking out in a sweat, headaches or dizziness, body tension or aches, fatigue, shaking or trembling, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
Anxiety Treatment:Anxiety disorders can affect a person's ability to work, study and participate in other activities. Recovery is possible with appropriate treatment. Some of the treatments for anxiety disorders include:
Anxiety Medication/Drugs - Paxil, Xanax, Prozac, Zoloft:Some kinds of anxiety can be controlled by medications (often called anti-anxiety medications or mood stabilizers), which can be prescribed and monitored by a psychiatrist. Antidepressants like Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft are common prescription drugs given to people with panic disorders, social anxiety disorders and generalized anxiety disorder. Xanax is a anxiolytics given to patients with many of the disorders mentioned above. Xanax has recently come into the news with lawsuits against the drug manufacturer for the possible side effects that were not brought to everyones attention. All these drugs have very powerful side effects, some of which are worse than the anxiety disorder itself, so it is critical that drugs are only taken under the care of your physician or psychiatrist.
Separation Anxiety:Probably one of the more familiar anxiety disorders that parents witness with their kids is separation anxiety. Separation anxiety is when an infant or toddler is anxious about being away from her primary caregiver. Infants can have this as early as 7 months, but separation anxiety usually peaks between a year and 18 months. The problem usually goes away with time, but for some children, being left alone with someone other than their primary caregiver is very stressful for years. At that point, therapy is recommended to determine the underlying cause.
