Part One

How to treat anxiety disorder. Well this really does depend on the person.  But what does create anxiety disorder is how we think!

It is true that anxiety is often the result of an external trigger; however, it equally true that sometimes it is a ‘cordially invited guest’. In other words, you invite worries and negative thoughts because you set up negative thinking traps in your mind. What are ‘negative thinking traps’? These are thoughts that push the mind into negativity.

So on to how to treat anxiety disorder.  The first step is to monitor your thinking; you may well be very surprised at how negative you do think.  I call it the little voice in your head that is constantly going.  Becoming aware of it, will help you challenge it and ultimately change it to a positive little voice.  It will be of great benefit for you to work with a personal coach or a counsellor to help you become aware of your negative thoughts that are creating your anxiety disorder.

  Below are some examples of negative thinking that spiral out of control and cause anxiety disorder.  But remember to treat anxiety disorder you just counteract the negative thinking.  And yes it does become easier.

Predicting the future – you would have so many times found yourself thinking, ‘Oh, God! I am going to mess up this thing completely.’ or ‘I know that this will end in a show-down’ and thoughts such as this, which seem to create a negative image of the outcome in your mind. These thoughts left wandering in your mind will continue adding vivid details to the negative outcome, which in turn would build up anxiety within you. In your mind’s eye, you have already messed it up and you are facing the dire consequences.

Measuring everything in extreme terms – this happens to the best of us. Sometimes, when you are overwhelmed by certain circumstances, the smallest details can throw you off completely. For example, you are struggling with an impossible deadline when you realize you were using the wrong data. It is easy in this case to throw your hands up and say that all is lost. However, if you keep your cool and take corrective measures immediately, it is possible that you put the thing back on its track without much problem. Nothing is black-and-white. Just because you slip up somewhere, it does not make you totally hopeless or a failure. Chase perfection; this is a good trait because it would fuel you to overachieve. However, if what you do is not always perfect, it does not mean you are worthless. Do not allow your mind to think in extremes. The world is made up of more grey than black-and-white.

    this is bullshit! they have no scientific studies that this does what they say it does. next time your “doctor” says you need this mind altering drug, just ask him to PROVE IT

  • FadedHolySoldier:

    Any moron that can read a book is apparently a licensed psychotherapist. I say, if you don't have anxiety/depression, then don't tell other people how to treat it. Sertralin does NOT work, in fact it made me skizophrenic, that's how bad sertralin is. I want Valium based drugs, but that has of course been made illegal. So scr– you.

  • Leah:

    “33 percent of patients initiated ADT at the first or second clinic visit.”

    Patient initiated ADT? Ya gotta wonder who's been castrated here (sorry if this is in bad taste). Doctors should not perform treatments just because patients insist on it. I wonder if the scourge that is direct-to-consumer advertising has played a role in this. Patients see a drug on TV and demand that the doctor given it to them.

    This is a very important article because the findings can be useful in other PC settings. We know that patients have HT, which is of questionable benefit and very unpleasant, because they're anxious. Also, patients with low-grade PC forgo active surveillance or convert to treatment because they're anxious.

    The solution is to treat the anxiety. It can be done. I also think that if more men did not rush into treatment (which is common in other countries), some of the anxiety related to PC would abate. In the US our inclination is to always do something. So it's understandable that no guy wants to be the odd man out who holds off. I think we need a cultural shift. Abolishing payments to docs based on the number of procedures they do would also help.

    PS: I'm not sure what the implications of this study are for younger patients.

  • Mara:

    As a former APA employee (and current APA contractor), I should point out that APA hasn't owned Psychology Today for a number of years. Yes, they did own it for a few years, but they sold it years ago.
    I'm not touching your contention that little of applicable use comes from psychology. Well, other than tapping my fingers on the keyboard and thinking about journals filled with research on how to treat anxiety, panic, depression, PTSD…

    Leah says (and for once I don't disagree with her — just joking Leah!), “The solution is to treat the anxiety. It can be done.”

    Of course it can be done, but will it? I don't think so, not while there are so many millions of dollars in play in creating anxiety about every facet of prostate cancer, from PSA testing/screening to the inappropriate tests and scans ordered, to the lack of clear indications of outcomes, to unneccesary adjuvant treatments (or should I say adjuvant treatments that have no demonstrable value … the list goes on. This anxiety drives men like beaters at a pheasant shoot, right into early treatment.

    In the midst of all this gloomy outlook there is the faintest glimmer of light. I have personally experienced the change in attitude to what was called, so inappropriately, watchful waiting and which is now commonly referred to as active surveillance.

    Thirteen years ago it was clear that the general view was that only fools and lunatics would consider such a step. The lunacy element has been removed now and men who follow this path, and the doctors who support that decisio,n are merely regarded as foolish. Perhaps as more time goes by and more studies are published, even that appellation might be removed.
