Worry, fear, and anxiety are a ordinary part of our life. Have you experienced feeling anxious before taking an exam and later find out that you got a higher result more than what you’ve expected? Or, feeling anxious for a job consultation and ended up getting hired, or feeling terrified walking down an alley where dreadful things often happened? Normal anxiety helps us deal with any stressful situation, it also keeps us observant.
Mental health professional are not anxious with normal anxiety. But, if your anxiety all of a sudden occured without apparent reason and lasts for weeks to months and happens in most days that is another issue. If anxiety persists in most days and lasts longer than six months, it has become an immobilizing disorder.
An anxiety disorder is a recurring and excessive anxiety. Where you worry about events or activities without rational reasons. It can imped with everyday activities, such as going to work, and socializing. A person experiencing anxiety condition finds it demanding to control the feelings of worry and fear. The thing concerning people with anxiety disorder is that they, in reality know that what they think of feel is not real and that they are just made-up.
The common anxiety disorders are Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, Agoraphobia, Specific Phobia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Separation Anxiety, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.
A individual with anxiety condition may experience different anxiety disorder symptoms. And since no two people are the same, the anxiety disorder symptoms may vary from one person to the other.
The physical symptoms of anxiety disorder are cause by the brain sending messages to parts of the body to prepare it for the flight-or-fight response. The lungs, heart, and other parts of the body work faster and the brain releases stress hormones, including adrenaline.
These are just some of the symptoms of anxiety that people may experience physically:
Abdominal discomfort
Diarrhea
Dry mouth
Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
Tightness or pain in chest
Shortness of breath
Dizziness
Frequent urination
Difficulty swallowing
Psychologically you may experience:
Insomnia
Irritability
Inability to concentrate
Fear of going crazy or dying
Feeling unreal and not in control of your behavior
There are more than a few types of anxiety disorders and intermittently they are associated with physical addictions such as alcohol and drug abuse. Anxiety is the main symptoms of other mental illness called anxiety disorders. Symptoms of anxiety may vary from the symptoms of other anxiety disorders, but all the symptoms cluster around excessive, irrational fear and dread.

ALL religion is BS…the only thing that will “stop” allll this religious BS is proof of any form of “life” on another planet to debunk the basis of most religion groups that claim “we are alone” “the earth is the only place for life” “we are created by a “god”…extreme followers will still attempt to twist the truth around but in the eyes of many religion will fail….science>religion,get out of the story books people.
Your post interests me because my brother plays college water polo and spends a large portion of his week exercising. When the season ends, he always describes physical changes (he has less energy and loses muscle mass), but he also describes mental changes. Particularly, he tends to feel slightly depressed, sad, and less motivated. It is interesting how his mood changes when he is not exercising under the direction of a coach, even when he takes himself to the gym voluntarily a few times a week. In a study by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, scientists found that, “The absence of causal effects of voluntary exercise on symptoms of anxiety and depression does not imply that manipulation of exercise cannot be used to change such symptoms. I wonder, then, if the presence of a coach and a team would cloud or change this study, and if his mood changes are not a result of exercise change, but a result of losing the camaraderie that comes from being part of a team.

Yup. I can relate to that. I always dreaded the idea of what symptoms anxiety would bring with it. I discovered eventually that if I would try to relax to that uncomfortable feeling instead of trying to resist, fight, or avoid it, it got better. Those symptoms, while they are unpleasant, are not dangerous. Fear is the fuel, and calm is the water that puts out the anxiety fire.
God bless!

Hi Seaneen
I'm not as brave as you and therefore I'm hiding behind anonymity – having lived with SMI for over 15 years with recurrent severe depressive episodes and severe anxiety with symptoms of anxiety related disorders, and diagnoses of 2 different PDs, I've experienced covert and overt discrimination. Call me paranoid but I'm convinced I've got “difficult” and “challenging” written in big letters in my MH services file so I didn't want to risk further prejudice if MH staff discovered my blog. Which, by the way, is very new, only about 3 weeks old, and which can be found at http://www.mentalhealthserviceuser.me.uk
I've barely dipped into your site, just read this page and the “About me” page, so I don't know where you are on your journey through life at the moment, but I hope you are in a good place, or if not, that you don't realise that you're not in a good place. I'm sure I'd rather be happily bonkers than unhappily aware sometimes.
I will be reading through your blog posts in due course – from what I've read so far, I like your style and the content of course is very relevant.
Best wishes

My heart aches for your family over the loss of your beautiful daughter. Unfortunately, the proposed health care plan, with its mental health “parity”, will facilitate this type of tragedy happening to other families. We must stop not only the MOTHERS act, but any mental health parity or mandated mental health screening. Everyone must remail viligant to these mental health initiatives, at both state and national level.

Fortunately, St. Patrick Hospital, in its new ER construction project that should finish up next year, has included a dedicated mental health ER unit in it. They are spending $750,000 to be able to treat mental health emergencies at the ER facility.
Hopefully, this will help alleviate the needless incarceration, and subsequent abuse of people like Adele who need treatment for mental health issues instead of simply being shunted off to a jail woefully unprepared to deal with people whose mental health crises result in misdemeanors.

Ellen,
I commend you for an outstanding presentation and the wealth of information you provided. The statistical information speaks volumes related to mental health and substance abuse concerning our policies and practices concerning mental health and the services our communities omit due to budgetary constraints Most communities do not have enough mental health beds within the acute care institutions and the person is adjudicated and not the systems in place. I can attest to the lack of mental health professionas who come to the acute care facilities within my community as well as the legal 2000's which take up acute care beds. Our spiritual humanity speaks even louder concerning the mistreatment of these disorders. Abolishing the mental health hospital did not serve these individuals and there are not enough mental health community facilities and outreach programs. We are back once again in the dark ages, only now instead of dungeons, individuals are in correctional facilities. Maybe the revival of the general mental health facility would serve these individuals better than our correctional facilities due to the stigma associated with being a felon. Our moral compass still is tilted for addressing the needs of individuals with mental health problems.
Ellen, Fabulous post – I will recommend your presentation to faculty members who are involved in this endeavor.
Respectfully,
Carol

HSP- I also wanted to add that to me, agorophobia is “fear of the fear”. It is a cycle that I chase daily. If I could (and I will) one day face that fear head on, take it my the horns, I believe the anxiety will wane. You cannot be afraid of fear it you aren't afraid of fear. Simple but complex. I must learn to stop reacting the the body symptoms of anxiety….which lead to panic. I know what to do, just now how to put in practice. I guess I will have to take that leap of faith and try…instead of relying on chemicals to do it for me. I am a Leo….I need to start acting like king of my jungle so to speak.
Actually, Silvana, that's the definition of agoraphobia for all of us, I think. Yes, imagine this: we decide X event is significant to us for whatever reason. We choose to go and participate DESPITE the “fear or fear.” We get there, enjoy ourselves, but start to feel a surge of panic. We accept the uncomfortableness, we stay in the moment, and guess what? The panic dissipates. We leave the function a little tired, but we can honestly say we enjoyed ourselves.
This would be ideal to me. The problem I think we're both having is the willingness to feel the uncomfortableness.
There's still a seed inside me that is not convinced I will not go crazy, die, faint, or suddenly get Tourette's. This tiny stupid seed is what's keeping me from living a value-driven life.
But, every time I go to X and just “be” with the “uncomfortableness,” EVERY TIME I am glad I did it.
Are you familiar with Claire Weekes' theory about First Fear and Second Fear? If somehow we could just accept those first physical sensations as what they are — harmless, we'd be fine.
I hope to get this whole thing worked out soon. I am sick and tired of avoiding things and running from the panic. But, then, I am only about 1/3 of the way through the Hayes book!
"They’re orphans. Small. Ignored. Neglected. One housed the bakers who helped feed the patients and staff. The other was, for some, their last stop before leaving the hospital grounds – the morgue. They aren’t just old but part of the story of Western State Hospital and of the grounds that might be the state’s most historic. But because they don’t fit in with the mental health mission of the hospital, because no one has extra money to preserve them, because they are in the way, they are endangered."
Thank you and God Bless you and always encourage you!
Hi Ivy, I drove while on xanax during treatment for PPD because I was told by psychiatrist that it was safe to take. I was having hot flashes so the psychiatrist I was seeing attributed thses symptoms to anxiety and prescribed xanax 3x per day. She also inisted that I needed to take them, even when I questioned it, and assured me they were safe to take. Despite the fog I was in, I had to get on with my everyday life, driving my kids to and from school, running errands which sometimes including driving with my baby in the car. Looking back I'm so lucky that nothing happened. God was looking out for me and my children. While on xanax I was in a zombie like state and hated it so much that after about a month of regular xanax and ambien use I quit cold turkey which led to very bad withdrawal symptoms. The second psychiatrist I went to told me that xanax is very addictive bc it is short acting and she doesn't prescribe it for mothers, only to help wean existing users. OMG!! Wake up call. Although I was under the care of a doctor for PPD and I wasn't self medicating I still drove while under the influence of a very potent sedative. I wonder how many mothers have driven while under the influence of prescription medications (i.e., sedatives) while being treated for perinatal mood disorders.

“Schizophrenia has always been known as a disease that causes progressive worsening of symptoms and deterioration in function, only in the last 10 years have researchers found that the brains of schizophrenics are also progressively deteriorating.

Liz – Bush may have signed the mental health parity bill but only because it was tacked onto the financial bailout package (that would assure the continuing mental health of his rich supporters). Also, the parity bill only requires employers to provide mental health insurance benefits comparable to their existing medical coverage. A vast majority of people with mental health issues are unemployed and therefore have no access to these benefits.

Hiya – saw your comment on my post, so thought I'd check your blog out.
In a demyelinating disease such as MS, optic neuritis is very often a temporary thing. I had it for a few months but it is completely back to normal, now. Some people have residual effects, but it is important to say that it rarely leads to complete blindness and if it did, the chances are that it would get better again.
In answer to your question, my early symptoms were optic neuritis, vertigo (dizziness and nausea) and fatigue. Since then I have had a number of relapses, the last one left me with permanent doublevision when I look left and nystagmus when I look right and sporadic bouts of nerve pain in my feet and legs. I no longer have o.n. or vertigo.
It will be well worth talking to your examiner and putting your exam off(?) until a later date, or taking a note from your GP so they can take your symptoms and anxiety about them into account.
Hope this helps, get in touch if you want to talk further.

Hypochondriacs waste the time of professional health workers by constantly claiming to be suffering from all manner of symptoms. As a result, it takes longer for people who are ill to be seen and treated.Placebos seem to help many patients, especially those with symptoms such as anxiety and hypochondria. If the sickness is all in their mind then the placebo effect will work to make them think the medicine is helping them when it is only a sugar pill.
