How to Identify Anxiety Disorder?

An anxious person, who may have an anxiety disorder, may feel anxious or worried about a specific situation like a panic attack or a social event or they might feel anxious about almost everything as in the case of especially a generalized anxiety disorder. These symptoms involve a gradual onset and are usually suffered for at least several months. On most occasions, a person with anxiety disorder tends to shy away from the events, circumstances, or objects that cause them worry.

As per WHO, anxiety disorders are associated with a higher risk for depression and substance usage disorders and a higher risk of suicidal ideation and self-harm. 

 

Common Symptoms of Anxiety 

  • Difficulty with focus or the capacity to make decisions
  • Experiencing urges to eat or avoid certain things, feelings of impatience, anxiety, or agitation
  • Suffering from emesis or discomfort in the abdomen 
  • Having heart palpitations 
  • Sweating, trembling or shaking 
  • Trouble sleeping 
  • Involvement of certain mental processes such as desperation, a sense of threat, or of being overwhelmed. 

If anyone you know has these symptoms, they should consult a therapist. However, some of the people I see do not have a psychiatric disorder but are Stressed Out to maximum overload. Still, there is always an option as online anxiety therapy which is convenient and effective.

CAUSES OF ANXIETY

The exact causes of the anxiety disorders are unique to each person because everyone has their own genetic predisposition, environmental experiences, history, and personality. Anxiety most often starts when we don’t know effectively how to adapt, cope, or flow with perceived stress (real or imagined).

Many times anxiety seems to be only related to events that have unfolded in a person’s life. Interestingly, individuals who have been through the same exact experiences may deal with them in different ways–some people may develop an anxiety disorder, while others may not. Ongoing clinical research provides clinical psychologists more insight into anxiety, the harmful mind-body reactions to stress, and uncovering the most effective treatment options including online counseling for anxiety.

As you work with the treatment plan, you may want to revisit the sessions that are structured as more of an open space for you to explore your feelings and build awareness, or you may decide that once you have learned, for example, a cognitive-behavioral program, you may feel your therapy is complete.
