Anxiety, their repercussions and how to deal with it

Who isn’t familiar with the word anxiety? Anxiety is a natural response to stress; it’s the feeling of irrational fear and apprehension that can last for days and months. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5^th Edition, there are different types of anxiety disorders. This book is published by the American Psychiatric Association. Many doctors recommend medication, mental health therapy or occasional body rubs at Bibralake, according to the severity of it. But we will discuss that later.

Anxiety- Causes and affect

Everyone has anxiety from time to time; just the level/severity of it differs. Some have to deal with chronic anxiety that leads to behavioral changes. It can also cause grave physical issues that mostly go unnoticed. Most people are scared to face the audience or go for an interview.

A persistent and excessive form of anxiety can dangerously affect the physical, mental and social health.

Stressful life experiences are the prime causes of anxiety disorder. Having a substance abuse problem of serious medical conditions can also lead to anxiety disorder.

Dealing with anxiety

It’s easy to write down the ways to deal with anxiety, but it isn’t easy for those who suffer from it.

Take a break- For some, taking a break, even for 10-20 minutes does the work. They can do breathing exercises, go out for a walk, listen to something, take sessions from massage therapist in Cockburn and get a good massage, if possible. Such distraction help divert the mind quickly.

Embrace and accept- For some, it is a life-long battle. They know that it’s part of their life and even if the phase comes, they know it’s for some time and it will go, even after the irrational fear.

Talk about it/research- For some, talking about the anxiety helps them ease down. Some get anxiety attacks and do not have control over them. They can let loved ones know so that that person hugs them tightly. This soothes the mind and body as a protective shield that everything is alright, there is nothing to worry.
