Anxiety is a dreadful mental illness that can strike a person at anytime. In the world of today, there are already millions of people quietly suffering from it. This ailment is seemingly random in afflicting men, women and even children.
Luckily, a good selection of anxiety treatments can be made available for everyone. However this can vary for each group. Officially, only a medical professional is qualified to properly diagnose anxiety disorder.
Treatments For Men:
Treating men for anxiety is not easy because of the complexity in diagnosing anxiety in males. Their symptoms can imitate a heart attack or other heart related problems. Men will often not disclose the fact that they are having anxiety and, thus, will not look for treatment either.
For those men who do seek anxiety treatment, there is help on hand in the form of some type of therapy and prescription drugs. There are rarely any side effects in men who take prescribed drugs. Still, men who do endure anxiety disorders do not seek therapy as an anxiety treatment.
Treatments For Women:
Women who experience anxieties are given treatment differently. The compassion factor is quite higher than it is in men. Anxiety treatment for women includes therapy sessions and prescribing anti-depressant medications. Women are required to plan appointments, since the suicide rate for depression in women is much higher than it is for men.
But there are some side effects to anti-depressant medications as there are with any prescription medications. Women are recommended to refer to their doctor if they have any sort of symptoms when beginning new medications, no matter how inconsequential they think these symptoms are.
Treatments For Children:
Anxiety treatment is very strict when it comes to children. This is because studies have proven that anti-depressant medicines can in fact cause children to attempt suicide. Kids are required to seek therapy and are supervised closely.
Behavioral therapy may also be advocated for children. There are methods such as relaxation training and techniques of desensitization that have shown excellent effects in children. Anxiety treatments for children may also include a change in their dietary habit. Caffeine is totally removed from their diet because it is a excitant and studies have shown that it can provoke an attack.
Other medicines such as over the counter cold prescriptions such as diet pills, cough medicine and decongestants are a strict no-no because of the active ingredients that infringe on the effects of the anti-depressants.
Getting proper sleep is an excellent therapy to cure anxiety for all ages of people; but it is particularly vital for children. Studies have shown that when children have adequate sleep, they tend to be more peaceful, attentive and less likely to get an anxiety attack.
Summary:
Anxiety is a dreadful condition that can hit anyone at any point of time. It is random as it is reckless in troubling men, women and even children. But, the good news is that there is anxiety treatment present for everyone.

The Relationship Between Anxiety And Eating Disorders: One of the types of social disorder that has gotten a lot o…
I just wanted to address you personally about the comment you made on a recent Huffington Post article about Heidi Fleiss and her comments on abortion.
First of all, I appreciate that you signed the comment with your name and included a link to this site. It frustrates me when people hide behind the anonymity that the internet (and comment boxes) offer. It takes real courage to state your opinions and do so with your name behind it.
With that being said, I can tell that you've never been the proud owner of a uterus nor have you ever had to bear the responsibility of preventing a pregnancy. Sure, as a man, you have probably had to buy condoms, but that's as far as “prevention” goes for men. And how do you obtain condoms? Without a prescription, at any age, at any drug store/convenience store/men's bathroom, and at a fairly reasonable price. And if that condom breaks that you've purchased? Well, it's no longer your problem, is it? You've done your part. You were responsible.
Now, if I am a woman, and I am responsible and have my partner wear a condom and it breaks, it is now my problem.
Morning after pill, you say? Well, here's hoping that I'm over the age of 17, and have a drug store around that isn't staffed by fundamentalist Christians who can “legally” refuse to sell the drug to me even though it is over the counter. Otherwise, I'm screwed.
Maybe I should have been on the pill/ring/shot/iud as a back-up, right? Well, most women do use those methods as back-up . . . if they have health insurance and/or have a planned parenthood clinic nearby that isn't surrounded by fundamentalist nutcase groups that murder doctors that perform legal procedures. Unfortunately, if you live in the midwest, going to PP is REALLY f-ing scary because of this and because of the healthcare debate we know that 46.3 million people are without health insurance right now. (US Census Bureau, Sept. 10, 2009)
Let's just be SUPER conservative and say that 1/3 of that 46.3 million uninsured people are female (even though logic suggests that because health insurance depends largely on the occupations, region, sex, and age that there is a much higher percentage of women and children that are uninsured due to our societal norms and values), that is still 15.43 MILLION women without insurance. Are you familiar with how much the pill costs when you do not have insurance? I can tell you from personal experience that it can range from around $50/28-day pack for a generic brand to almost $75/28-day pack for name brands. If you go with a generic, that is roughly $650/year for adequate birth control. And the price of a doctor's visit to get that prescription for that generic pill for a calendar year? That's roughly $100, without insurance. Maybe I live in the city and there's a free clinic, but I will still need to have the time off work to go to said clinic which is costing me money by my having to schedule my work around it instead of the other way around (which would be the case if I had insurance). If I'm a woman in the suburbs or in a rural area, I hope I have adequate transportation to get me to the “free clinic”. . . and this is all without the price of the condoms, if we are being truly safe and responsible.
Plus, all of this relies on the fact that I am a legal adult with no moral/religious issues with modern birth control methods, have the resources to obtain said birth control, and that I'm not currently taking medications that can interfere with oral contraceptives, the ring, or the patch.
Wanna know what can effect that? Glad you asked!
Antibiotics
Anti-HIV Protease Inhibitors
Anti-Seizure medications
Antidepressants
Anti-Fungal medications
Diabetes medications
Anxiety treatments
Natural supplements like St. Johns Wart
. . . and, of course, grapefruit.
So, if I'm underage? Screwed.
If I've asked to be on birth control and have had parents refuse? Screwed.
Have a religious family? Screwed.
Be socio/economically destitute? Screwed.
Have a fundamentalist pharmacist? Screwed.
On ANY of the medications that can alter the effectiveness of the birth control that I'm being responsible and taking? Screwed.
Have nutcases outside my Planned Parenthood? Screwed.
Are you starting to see a trend here? So, in short, even if women are being truly super-responsible and are using TWO methods of birth control, there are MANY MANY MANY obstacles to clear before we are socially sanctioned to have “the sex”.
THAT is how you can be actively trying to prevent unwanted pregnancies and still end up knocked up. I would dare to say that being uninsured and not being able to shell out the cash necessary for a back up contraceptive is exactly TRYING to get pregnant.
Plus, according to the American Pregnancy Association, 47% of the unplanned pregnancies in the U.S. are due to not using birth control. That means that the other 53%, the majority, are conceived while using birth control methods.
And we both know that telling people who are in any of the numerous situations that can hinder your ability to obtain birth control methods to just not have sex is ridiculous and completely unrealistic.
Birth control? Covered it. Now on to “child-birth as a means to a way” as you so eloquently put it. You may want to get some lube for this part.
If you can name for me 5 women that you know personally that have gotten pregnant to keep a man around, I will give you this category. In all of my years, in all of my experiences with women in desperate situations, I have yet to meet a single woman who has “trapped” a man (or tried to) by having his child. Never once. Why?
Well, it's not exactly foolproof. A man can either leave or stay. He's not legally obliged to stay, and if he doesn't he's not even all that responsible for child support. Do you know how many men owe back child support? Please!
Granted, if there is that situation and the man stays, then that makes the woman a bit of a monster . . . and a bit of a sociopath, doesn't it? Not exactly someone you want bringing up a child.
Plus, having a kid to keep a man around is like buying a whole farm to get a glass of milk . . . buying a McDonalds franchise to get a Big Mac . . . bringing a shotgun to a squirrel hunt . . . it's complete and total overkill, and just completely stupid. Nobody with any notion of a cost/benefit trade-off, which would be all rational people as economics taught me, would make that deal. If you are not rational, you probably shouldn't be raising children.
Now on to the excuse of getting pregnant to escape a religiously fanatical family. I'm going to have to call bullshit on this one too. If anything, I have seen more girls get sucked deeper into religiously fanatical families because of this. “You need to beg for God's forgiveness,” kind of mentality.
Sure, I've seen plenty of girls get out from under the thumb of a deeply oppressive religion or family, go a little wild, and end up pregnant, but never the other way around . . . then again, I'm not all that close to many devoutly Mormon families or Scientologists, both religions that (from my understanding, which is limited) will kick you out of the church for such things.
But, again, it's kind of like buying the whole farm just to get a glass of milk.
*Sigh* And now on to the “governmental monetary gains” that you spoke of . . . and this is kind of my specialty.
You know when Reagan came out and said that he was going to hire folks to do social research to find these “welfare queens” that just keep having kids so that they can keep getting government handouts so that they live like queens without having to lift a finger? Yeah, well, the research is in. Do you know what they found? There were none of these “welfare queens”, but rather a community of impoverished women who were (and still are) blamed for their situations.
Aside from the fact that this whole idea is rooted in a whole field of awful stereotypes about women (and their uncontrolled sexuality, which is a problem in a puritanical society) and especially minorities (laziness), it completely bastardizes programs like WIC and TANF.
Monetary gains? Yeah, right.
To be eligible for most government programs (save for TANF, section-8 housing, and Medicaid), your family’s yearly income must be between 100% of the poverty level and 180% of the poverty level. That looks like this:
The 2009 Poverty Guidelines for the
48 Contiguous States and the District of Columbia
Persons in family Poverty guideline
1 $10,830
2 14,570
3 18,310
4 22,050
5 25,790
6 29,530
7 33,270
8 37,010
For families with more than 8 persons, add $3,740 for each additional person.
So yes, the bigger your family is, the higher the poverty guideline . . . thus easier to get those monetary gains in the form of government assistance, right? Umm, except for the fact that in order to make $40,000 a year and get those benefits, you will need a family of 7 . . . and that means that when you get those benefits, you still have to house, feed, clothe, provide heat/electricity, bathe, transport, and generally support 7 people. These aren’t Chia pets, they are people, and (believe it or not) it costs a LOT to provide for all those people.
Do you know how the poverty line was created? In 1965, the government adopted the Orchansky model of taking the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture’s economy food plan for a family of 4 and multiplying that number by 3 . . . during that time, it was found that a family of 4 will spend 1/3 of its income after taxes on food, thus 3 times the bare minimum, economy family food plan would create the poverty guideline. Anyone who fell below that line (made less money than 3 times the amount of money that is the bare minimum for keeping a family fed) was in poverty, anyone above that line was fine.
Do you know that this is still the same model that we use today? Thus, the $33,000 you make in your family of 7 that qualifies you for the programs means that the government assumes that you will spend $11,000/year just to feed your family. That may or may not be a fair estimate, depending on where you live, but then the assumption is that a family of 7 with $33,000 annually will only spend $22,000 on EVERYTHING ELSE. Rent. Electricity. Clothes. School supplies. Hygiene products. Blankets. Toilet paper. Beds. EVERYTHING.
If you do the math, that means that in order to reap these “monetary gains” you have to live like a rat. Again, going back to the rationality model I used several times earlier. . . IT MAKES NO SENSE!!
Try to think this to yourself: “I’m going to have a pack of kids and live at the poverty line so that I can get government assistance, but just barely enough to get by.” Is it worth it?
Remember that this is without the hospital bills from having said pack of kids, without the bills from prenatal care for said pack of kids, and without the time/effort/knowledge of the government programs needed to really get everything you can get out of these programs.
For a small percentage of these women in these situations where they have a lot of kids and are on assistance programs, did it ever occur to you that maybe these children are the only thing that brings any joy to the lives of the women? If you had grown up in poverty, were uneducated, working a dead-end job or unemployed, where would you get true joy?
For an even smaller, miniscule percentage of these women, the idea is that with every kid she has, the chances that one will grow up, be successful, and pull them all out of poverty increases. The only problem with this idea is that the woman has not taken into account that it is statistically unlikely that any of her children will rise any further up the socio/economic chain than she is . . . it is unlikely for anyone to do significantly better than their parents. Generational wealth rarely changes.
Lastly, on the issue of abortion: As someone who does not have a uterus, and will never have to face the decision about whether to terminate a pregnancy or not: I feel that you shouldn’t have a voice in the debate. Nobody is telling you what you can and cannot do with your reproductive organs, it’s bullshit that anyone should stand around and tell me what I can and cannot do with mine.
Plus, I find it really shady that women are made to seem like we are incapable of making the decision about what is best for our lives and bodies, but in the same breath told that we are responsible for birthing and raising these children. Usually alone.
*Deep breath in*
In short:
Please do not talk about birth control options for women and whether or not they are getting pregnant on purpose if you have no clue what obstacles women face in getting said birth control.
Please do not talk about women having children to trap men or to reap some monetary gain when you have no real working knowledge of the history of women in poverty, the welfare system, or what it means to truly live at the poverty level.
Please do not talk about the abortion debate, whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, since you are clearly ignorant of the issues facing women in our society. Once you have a working knowledge of such things, then you may join the conversation.
Sincerely yours,
Sarah
Lol…you diagnosed yourself with APD!
I thought me diagnosing myself with social anxiety disorder was bad…
But you are on the right track with respect to treatment: exposure to the anxiety provoking situation!!
Good luck with it! And good on you for doing this. It can be hard…I find it hard enough screening flatmates! But you are taking the plunge…hope it all goes well.

Hey Tory! You are so funny. I heard about this Dr Laura stuff going on.

Hang in there Jen! As an FYI, humor is a fantastic anti-anxiety treatment. I had a great counselor in college who introduced me to the concept when I was dealing with some pretty powerful anxiety issues. If you can line up DVDs of the funniest movies/TV shows you know over the next few days, it could help ease the stress.
Take good care – keeping you in my thoughts.

Update: anxiety treatment.wmv
As mentioned in the above post, having a social anxiety disorder during adolescence does present a unique problem that, for many youth, can be temporarily solved through the use of alcohol and/or marijuana. This may in part explain the correlation between social anxiety disorders and substance abuse, although it still does not explain the lack of correlation between other anxiety/mood disorders and substance abuse.
In order to further investigate the link between substance abuse and social anxiety disorder, Ham, Bonin & Hope (2006) studied college students and their anxiety and alcohol consumption. Despite some inconsistencies within the study groups, the researches concluded that the motivation for drinking may be one of the most important factors when it comes to substance abuse. Through their research, Thomas, Randall, and Carrigan (2003), also discovered that more socially anxious subjects turned to alcohol in order to cope with their disorders.
Since both alcohol and marijuana lower inhibitions, it is not surprising that a youth with a disorder that causes extreme shyness and an inability to function in normal social situations would turn to either substance.
Additionally, children with social anxiety disorder have an increased concern for the opinions of others. They often fear that others are constantly judging them and thinking negatively of them. In this case, it seems that conformity and peer pressure would also play a large role in the formation of an alcohol/drug habit.
I think we should be cautious before jumping between one set of terms such as 'anxiety' and 'depression' and another set of terms such as 'madness' , 'insanity' and 'abnormal'. While all of them are obviously associated with each other it would require quite a stretch of reason and imagination to describe people who are diagnosed with depression or anxiety disorder as mad or insane.
With most people with mental illness of the neurotic sort such as depression or anxiety disorder it would be hard to guess their diagnosis unless they voluntarily self disclosed the information. Mental illnesses more often refers to the inner state of the person/poet and not how they appear to the world. It would however be not hard to imagine how a person with a difficult inner life would turn to poetry as a means of expressing or sharing her pain while simultaneously seeking help for his mental disorder .This would be within the range of normal responses to such inner conflict and not the behaviour of a lunatic.

Chronic pain sufferers who also have an anxiety disorder may have lower pain tolerance or a lower pain threshold, this indicated findrxonline in article. People with an anxiety disorder may be more sensitive to medication side effects or more fearful of harmful side effects of medication than chronic pain suffers who aren’t anxious, and they may also be more fearful of pain than someone who experiences pain without anxiety.
Chronic Anxiety disorder Victim Should Hold Your Heads High- Your Guys Are The Brave Ones! <a rel="nofollow"
Here is an email from a reader who is trying to wean off her medications. She asks for any help offered by professionals reading WellPostpartum Weblog. Of course, practitioners are unable to recommend specific dosages, but a general description of the issues may be helpful.
She says:
Here's what I am on (which has been reduced in quantity and will continue to slowly be):
Seroquel- 50 mg/day- used at bedtime to induce sleep (insomnia)
Alprazolam- 1mg/day- used in middle of the night to continue sleep and calm nightime anxiety
Lexapro- 15mg/day- to treat PPD
Here's the supplement I bought and thought I would try- although I read a warning on the label that that concerns me about still be on prescription meds- “This product could potentiate the use of barbituates and central nervous system depressant medications…” Is this referring to illicit drugs or prescription ones and if so, what are the ingredients in the formula that should be avoided?
GABA EaseTM – Calming Support 60 capsules
GABA and L-theanine are two of our best nutrients researched for their promotion of calming effects. Passion flower, skullcap and hops have generations of traditional use in herbal medicine for their calming and nerve tonic support. This formula is an important combination of the results of modern science in natural medicine and the decades of experience in herbal medicine to promote a calming effect during occasional stress, nervous tension and hormonal irritability.*+
Each vegetarian capsule provides: Vitamin B6 (as HCL), GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), L-Theanine, Passion flower extract (5:1), Hops flower extract(4:1), Skullcap leaf and stem extract (5:1)
Also, I understand that Tart Cherry and Passion Flower can be good natural anxiety treatments- would those be good choices for me?
From Cheryl- I would establish a relationship with one of the experienced practitioners listed here. Having your neurotransmitters tested is a great first step. Many practitioners can recommend specific amino acids, or blends of aminos and nutrients to address underlying issues.
I agree (with psychiatrist Hyla Cass) that it is very hard to treat a problem without knowing what is happening in the brain. Neurotransmitter testing gives a highly accurate picture of activity- and a road map for recovery.
Trying to figure out the above question without continued professional guidance could absolutely make the situation MUCH WORSE! Amino acid therapy is very powerful, but potentially problematic. Guessing is simply not advised.
I'm glad this reader has the outlet provided here; asking these questions is a great sign of strength and determination. Keep learning and you will find wholeness in the future. Then, staying well can be a fabulous do-it-yourself project!
