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.

    Oh, I love this. And I kind of feel like I could have written it, too, only not as beautifully as you did. I completely, totally and entirely get exactly what you're saying.

    (P. S. I recently started an AD to treat anxiety. I thought about you when I went to talk to my doctor about it, and I still think about you sometimes when I take my pill each night. I hope it doesn't creep you out that you're my reference for this, but that's how deeply what you've written on the subject touches me. And you know what? When that pill actually started to work it was as if I'd experienced an epiphany. Thank you for your part in that.)

    Anxiety disorder is considered to be one of the worst mental conditions that affect human beings by making them prone to baseless and groundless worries but with the arrival of anti-anxiety medications like xanax in the pharmaceutical market, successful treatment of anxiety related disorders has become an instant possibility. But, instead of straightway moving ahead to use Xanax and other medicines to treat anxiety such as Buspar and Tenormin, you can log in to and get hold of fundamental tidbits on these medicines first.

    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.

    “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.

    It won't correct a chemical imbalance yet you say it might help while your taking it. Thats why you might have to take them forever. Research shows many people do not have to take these for the rest of their lives while others do. As far as your YES THEORY goes, one can obtain a CSF sample and measure the amount of chemicals in the human brain, just as easy as a blood count. The risk associated with such a procedure is too high for this to be done routinely, but it can be done.

    Yeah. Marijuana is not on the same level as heroin. Heroin is a deadly , addictive drug that ruined most Vietnam veterans lives. Marijuana on the other hand is scientificly proven to treat anxiety and depression, if used in the right dose. Also it has no side effects like the anti depressants. I would choose organic marijuana over chemiclly enhanced anti depressants.
