Anguish, fear and worries are part of of everyday routine of millions of anxiety disorders victims from all around the Globe. Ordinary fear and anxiety are an essential part of human life. They help us to escape nasty and unsafe situations and therefore have alarming or adaptive function.
The fear is always tied to some particular thing or a situation and anxiety is an indeterminate emotional event. The intimidating factor in anxiety disorders is less visible, unclear, so it is often reffered to as a floating fear. If the fears, worries and anxiety start to conquer and control someones life, when they start to severely interfere with their family, social and business life, then we can say that the individual certainly suffers from an anxiety disorder.
Psychological symptoms of anxiety disorders are excessive fear and trembling, feeling of constant tension or internal turmoil, lack of concentration. The victim gets irritated very easily and can become extremely sensitive to louder noises. Also, in most instances anxiety disorder victims develop insomnia (they have big difficulties to fall asleep, they wake up many times during the night and could have frightening dreams during their rest time.)
Common physical symptoms of anxiety disorders are: palpitations or irregular heart beats, feeling problems swallowing, dry mouth, difficulty breathing (lack of air), chest discomfort, frequent urge to urinate, weakened sexual urge, noise in ears, pins and needles in fingers and toes, shaky hands and many more, depending on the persons.
Anxiety disorders can be grouped in 7 main categories: Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder also called Social Phobia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Specific Phobia and Agoraphobia.
The most common characteristics of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) are: frequent illogical worries, anxiety, fear and expectations of something bad that might happen, that occur most of the days in a span of at least 2-6 months. The sufferers find impossible to put under control their worries that are in great measure exaggerated considering the situation. Adult patients suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder most of the time worry about everyday life, the responsibilities in the workplace, finances, family wellbeing, accidents that could happen to their children, family members, close relatives etc.
Unreasonable fear completely disables the sufferers and forces them to feel paralyzed, hopeless and unsafe.
In general, GAD is best treated by blend of psychotherapy (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) and pills. Drugs mostly used are Antidepressants from the group of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) and at the early stages of the treatment Benzodiazepines. Some drugs free treatments and methods developed by recovered victims are also achieving impressive results and can be bought on the internet.
