How to deal with anxiety

Anxiety is body’s way of responding to fear or any unfavorable situations. Anxiety is an emotion that is expressed by all people in general and they are natural as well as useful to some extent. They are useful in the way they give sudden surge of energy even when all the body’s energy is exhausted in response to a panicking situation. Imagine you are resting in your sofa after your tiring works. The corner of your eyes happened to see a snake that is making its way to you. That sudden rush of anxiety that occurs due to fear will help you to step out of the situation despite your tiredness. So, anxiety is not a disease or illness that needs to worry you. It’s just the emotional state that results when we behave apprehensively. But anxiety can turn out to be a disorder in individuals who perceive danger more often and even in normal situations which they perceive to be dangerous.

People who experience this over anxious behavior are said to have anxiety disorders.  Symptoms that indicate anxiety disorders are 
•    Difficulty in sleeping
•    Low appetite
•    Feeling frightened or nervous all the time
•    Palpitation – a sensation that your heart is racing fast
•    Heavy sweating
•    Strange nightmares
•    Rapid breathing 
•    Muscle twitching
•    Digestive problems such as constipation • Feeling of impending doom
•    Sensation of choking etc.

Anxiety disorders can be classified into several types such as Generalized anxiety disorder(GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder (PD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder/social phobia, and specific phobias, such as fear of the outdoors (agoraphobia) or confined spaces (claustrophobia).

Anxiety disorders can be successfully addressed by a psychotherapist and with appropriate method of psychotherapy.

The two common forms of psychotherapy are,
1)    Behavioral therapy – It examines how one behave and react in situations that triggers their anxiety. The therapist focuses on encouraging activities that give a sense of satisfaction and ease as an effort to reverse patterns of avoidance and worry which will help the patient to combat undesirable behaviours which are exhibited as a result of anxiety. 
2)    Cognitive therapy – It examines how negative thoughts, or cognitions contribute to anxiety. This therapy is structured to recognize the way individuals thick and act so as to identify patterns that makes one to become more anxious. Once those causes are identified, therapists could help the patient to overcome those problematic thought patterns by inculcating coping skills. 

All psychotherapy treatments requires coordination of the individuals during each session. While few could fell the change even in short term treatments others may require more sessions which depends on the degree of problem.
