At some stage in our lives we all will have suffered a bout of being
anxious due to a bad moment. Missing a bus or late for an appointment is
enough to trigger uneasiness, which is quite a normal reaction.
Prolonged anxiety which meddles with a person's everyday life tells us
that we are now dealing with a condition called (anxiety disorder). Coping
with excessive anxiety can be a struggle but with the right medical advice
and help then this ailment which is associated with other psychiatric
conditions such as depression can be tamed. In the UK 1 in 10 people
battle to lead a normal life, the severity of anxiety powers is no doubt a
mighty force to contend with where the effects can turn a persons life
upside down.
Anxiety that flares up with no identifying reason behind the cause has
to be questioned. Strong/severe anxiety that tampers or interferes with
daily routines- activities is considered abnormal.
Symptoms to look out for with (Physical Anxiety) is dry
mouth/diarrhoea/abdominal discomfort/breathlessness/fast heartbeat/problem
swallowing/dizzy spells/ tightening of the chest. These are a result of
when the brain sends out signals to other parts of the body while at the
same time releasing stress hormones/adrenalin. Organs affected are lungs
heart etc that are now geared up to work faster.
The fear of going mad and lack of concentration are two serious
symptoms endured as well as insomnia and uncontrollable outbursts of rage-
anger if suffering from psychological anxiety.
Medication and treatments like psychotherapy/ counselling and more are
available.
Anxiety is treatable so please if you or someone close is having a bad
time trying to cope with any of the symptons mentioned earlier then make
an appointment to speak with your doctor.
Mad or sad
Some people who suffer from anxiety may appear to look and do things a
little differently to which an outsider may find funny, depending on the
outsider of course. Because of their lack of understanding on this
condition they find it hilarious to poke fun and make nasty remarks
towards the person suffering from this condition causing more misery for
the sufferer.
Yes I would say sufferers are mad, mad with the ignoramuses who
continue to add to their torment. And saddened furthermore at how their
tomentors proudly show their ignorance behind the meaning of the word
compassion.
