Worried Over Everything In Life? May Be You Are Suffering From Anxiety Disorder
Do you often feel anxious? May be you are suffering from generalised anxiety disorder or GAD. This article discusses on the symptoms, causes and treatment of the disorder.
One who suffers from GAD feels anxious about everything in life and can't stop himself/herself from it. The worry is often out of proportion and living a normal life itself becomes a tough thing to accomplish, even if there is no apparent threat.
Symptoms of GAD can include excessive tension, unrealistic fear about some problem, restlessness, irritation, headache, nausea, fatigue, sleep disorder, etc. A person suffering from GAD also has panic disorder, clinical depression and when it goes to the extreme condition, he/she may suffer from problems like alcohol misuse.
What
Causes
GAD?
GAD
can
be
caused
by
genetics,
brain
chemistry
and
environmental
factors.
Genetically,
a
person
may
get
the
problem
if
members
of
his/her
family
have
it.
It
can
also
be
caused
by
a
brain
chemistry.
GAD is associated with an abnormal functioning of the pathways of certain nerve cells that connect parts of the brain that do the job of thinking and are related with emotion. The connection of these cells depends on the chemicals like neurotransmitters that transfer information from one nerve cell to another.
If the pathways that connect the brain parts fail to function properly, then it could result in anxiety. GAD can also be caused by any tragic experience in life like a death in the family or any bad event. Use of addictive substances can also cause GAD.
Diagnosis
Of
GAD
Diagnosis
of
GAD
can
be
done
through
both
psychological
analysis
and
a
physical
examination.
The
psychiatric
history
is
taken
into
account
and
the
duration
of
the
symptoms
of
the
GAD
are
also
monitored.
It will be seen whether the symptoms and dysfunction indicate a specific disorder pattern lasting over a considerable period of time, say for six months.
Treatment
Of
GAD
Treatment
of
GAD
includes
a
combination
of
medication
and
behavioural
therapy.
The
drugs
used
to
treat
GAD
are
generally
used
on
a
short-term
basis,
since
they
are
addictive
and
can
have
side
effects.
These
help
in
neutralising
the
intensity
of
an
anxious
feeling
and
reduce
physical
symptoms
like
muscle
tension
and
restlessness.
The behaviour therapy, on the other hand, aims at bringing a change in the thought patterns that cause anxious feelings. There are also techniques to relax, which help in reducing the muscle tension.
GAD, though can't be prevented, can be treated in a way by lessening the symptoms by doing the following:
• Reducing intake of caffeine, cola and chocolate.
• Consulting the doctor before going for any medicines, as many of them contain chemicals that can increase the anxiety symptoms.
• Exercising daily
• Eating healthy food
• Seeking help of a counsellor, in case one has undergone a stressful experience
• Practising meditation and yoga
