What is Anxiety ? Anxiety is the feeling of fear or panic. Most people feel anxious, panicky or fearful about situations in life, such as money problems or exams but often once the difficult situation is over, you feel better and calmer. Sometimes the feelings of fear or anxiety continue after the difficult situation or sometimes you may feel a stronger sense of fear than other people and this is when anxiety becomes a problem and can affect you doing every day things.
When Does Anxiety Become a Disorder ? Anxiety is a normal human response to objects, situations or events that are threatening
Anxiety is different from fear due to its cognitive component (i.e. fear of the future)
Anxiety becomes a disorder when out of proportion or when it significantly interferes with life.
Anxiety Disorder Symptoms Restlessness or feeling wound-up or on edge Being easily fatigued Difficulty concentrating or having their minds go blank Irritability Muscle tension Difficulty controlling the worry Sleep problems (difficulty falling or staying asleep or restless, unsatisfying sleep)
How Psychologists help in Anxiety Treatment ? Psychologists use Psychotherapy for anxiety treatment. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process, where psychologists and patients work together to identify specific concerns and develop concrete skills and techniques for coping with anxiety. Patients can expect to practice their new skills outside of sessions to manage anxiety in situations that might make them uncomfortable. However, psychologists won't push patients into such scenarios until they're sure they have the skills they need to effectively confront their fears.
