Turning A Spotlight On Anxiety Disorders

Extreme anxiety can cause you to feel restless at night, bend over and lie down in bed. Perhaps you are pushing yourself when you are preparing for the exam or when you are ready to report to the boss. But do you qualify your discomfort as a real concern? We feel that we are an angry society. Television news shows give us a long list of concerns: What is it in your child's milk that his high school will graduate with a 4.0 GPA?

You seem to be overwhelmed by a feeling of fear. You may fear tomorrow because you are wondering what disasters will happen to your family. You may experience insomnia, irritability, impatience and an inability to concentrate. You may also feel impatient or nervous. If any of these symptoms persist for more than a month, you are probably a victim of generalized anxiety disorder. Your anxiety may be so intense that you may even experience fear. It is irrational worry about the situation - the worry that makes you do everything you can to avoid a particular object or situation.

You should be aware that there are three main types of phobias. Agoraphobia is a fear of a public place, such as a shopping mall or a town square. You might be worried that you won't be able to leave this place if you need to. Meanwhile, social phobia is the fear of talking to or interacting with people. You might be worried about embarrassing yourself in front of a person or a group. A simple phobia is the fear of a particular object or activity, such as dogs, theft, or germs. Anxiety can also lead to panic disorder. A panic attack is usually associated with an increased heart rate, chest pain, dizziness, sweating, or fear of death.
