What is Anxiety?

 

Anxiety falls into several main categories, they are:

 

Panic Disorder is the fear of having a un-prompted panic attack. The attack may be severe and may cause people to feel that they are having a heart attack, are going to die or are going insane.

 

Social Anxiety is the fear, anxiety, or panic in situations where people think they may embarrass themselves or perhaps make a fool of themselves.

 

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a natural emotional reaction to a deeply shocking and disturbing experience. It is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation. It has a number of symptoms but can include recurrent and intrusive distressing recollections of the event or experience, including images, thoughts or perceptions.

 

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is the occurrence of obsessive, unwanted thoughts and/or compulsive behaviour. Possibly including rituals which can interfere with day to day living.

 

Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a feeling of continuous and extreme anxiety or worry about events which may or may not happen.

 

Panic Attacks, people can experience panic attacks with any of the above disorders.

Panic & Anxiety Attacks

 

Everybody gets anxious from time to time and this is perfectly normal.

However, when the anxiety, or panic attacks become frequent, or intense, and come out of the blue, it is the time to start thinking about seeking help, treatment or therapy.

 

When you get a panic or anxiety attack you are feeling the effects of the natural 'fight or flight' response.

 

The fight or flight response is our minds natural response to a perceived danger. When it is activated, adrenaline is released to enable us to either deal with or escape from the dangerous situation. In those who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks the mind has at some time in the past been programmed to react in this way to things which in other circumstances would be seen a normal, safe situation.

 

Common examples of anxiety are public speaking anxiety, performance anxiety, blushing, exam nerves, fear of flying and driving anxiety.
