Anxiety
How can you feel?
Do you constantly worry, sleep poorly and find it difficult to relax? Do you feel anxious in place where you live? Are you anxious about your health and your loved ones, or are you afraid of death? Perhaps it's just attitude and stress, but if the situation has been going on for a long time, it's worth getting checked for anxiety disorders.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) manifests itself in the preoccupation with dark thoughts, which we justify by wanting to prepare for the worst. In addition to mental discomfort, generalized anxiety is accompanied by symptoms such as: difficulty relaxing, impaired concentration, abdominal pain, cold and hot flashes, and trouble sleeping.
Anxiety can also turn into sudden and violent panic attacks accompanied by strong symptoms such as: tremors, sweating, rapid heart rate, hot flashes, faster breathing, etc. As a result, you can fall into a vicious circle , or fear of fear, when you withdraw completely from life in order to avoid situations that may cause fear.
Fear can also concern specific situations and objects - then we are talking about an anxiety disorder in the form of a phobia. An example is aviophobia, - the fear of flying by plane. Living in a foreign country, you may also be afraid to even leave your home over time, i.e. experience agoraphobia. A professional can help you deal with these problems.
Therapy as a method
One of the most effective treatments for anxiety disorders is psychotherapy. The therapist identifies the symptoms and then works with the client to become aware of them and improve the quality of life.
