Anxiety Disorders

Feelings of anxiety can often improve performance and help us humans spot danger or mistakes. Many of us will experience this when we are about to make a speech or take an exam. Be reassured, anxiety is a completely normal human emotion which everyone will feel at some point in their lives, perhaps when they are facing a threatening or tricky situation. Feelings can vary from mild to severe, and for most people, these emotions will fade after the stressful situation has ceased. However, such feelings of uneasiness can become persistent in some and we can develop a range of psychological and physical symptoms as a result. If that sounds like something you might be going through, then there is welcome news as, for many, this is just a temporary blip and can be treated in a variety of ways.

So, what can be a positive defence mechanism in its mild form, may develop into something more serious. It’s really about having a general and persistent feeling of unease and apprehension which can prevent someone who is anxious from having a normal life.

It can be quite energy-sapping for many but there are a number of distinct types of anxiety disorders. These include Acute Stress Disorder (ASD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and various phobias. Anxiety disorders can also occur alongside other conditions, such as depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder, and can sadly sometimes lead to self-harm or suicide in severe cases.

General anxiety disorder (GAD) or 'anxiety', relates to persistent and intrusive anxious feelings, where a person struggles to cope with their worries and stress. It is a common mental health condition, that can vary in symptoms and severity from person to person.

Many are unable to tackle life in perspective and will catastrophise, thinking things are worse than they really are. To friends and loved ones, this type of behaviour might seem illogical and irrational. This can cause problems in relationships and careers and affect the pleasure in various activities and hobbies. That’s why it is important to seek help if you think you’re feeling this way. Most with anxiety - estimated to be around ten per cent of the population at some point in their lives - make a full recovery with the right professional advice.
