What are symptoms of anxiety?

Posted on Oct 17, 2008 under symptoms of anxiety | 5 Comments

When you get anxiety can that also turn into panic attacks? and what else can result from anxiety?

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.

Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this strange herb called “St John’s Wort” - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.

The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that “learned behavior” in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to….

Natural therapies are becoming increasingly popular among menopausal women seeking to ease their symptoms. A study published in the latest issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention found that a simple, brisk walking routine can reduce various psychological symptoms associated with menopause such as anxiety, stress, and depression. Between 1996 and 1997, 380 women living in Philadelphia were recruited to be observed for at least eight years.

Serious Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions with Provigil

Posted on Sep 25, 2008 under symptoms of anxiety | 3 Comments

Cephalon has notified healthcare professionals about new safety information for Provigil (modafinil). Provigil is used to reduce excessive sleepiness in adult patients with narcolepsy and other sleep disorders. Provigil is not approved for any indication in children.

The revised labeling warns that Provigil can cause life-threatening skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS). Although benign rashes can also occur with this drug, the company says that it is not possible to reliably predict which rashes will be serious. Because of this, Provigil should ordinarily be stopped at the first sign of a rash, unless the rash clearly is not related to the drug.

The labeling also warns that Provigil can cause other serious hypersensitivity reactions. If a multi-organ hypersensitivity reaction is suspected, the drug should be discontinued. Patients should be told to stop taking the drug if they develop signs or symptoms suggesting angioedema or anaphylaxis.

Provigil can also cause psychiatric symptoms, including anxiety, mania, hallucinations and suicidal ideation. The company advises caution when the drug is given to patients with a history of psychosis, depression or mania. If psychiatric symptoms develop, consider discontinuing the drug.

Public Speaking Anxiety?

Posted on Sep 22, 2008 under symptoms of anxiety | 2 Comments

http://publicspeakingeasy.com - Are you prepared to overcome your public speaking anxiety? It is easier than you think conquering your fear of public speaking.

Start by discovering public speaking tips to become an amazing public speaker.

http://publicspeakingeasy.com

I was so struck by a form of public-speaking anxiety that I could hardly get a word out. Luckily, my graduate work focused on visual communication. As a former newspaper photojournalist-turned-graduate student, I wasn’t expected to say much. My salvation was that I was able to come up with interesting angles on standard topics for the many assigned research papers. Plus, I wrote well. But it frustrated me that I seemed unable to verbally explain or defend my written positions to the others in the class, including my professors. Some Symptoms of Public Speaking Anxiety: Dry mouth. Tight throat. Sweaty hands. Cold hands. Shaky hands. Shake my hand? Give me a hand…? (Oops, I couldn’t resist). Nausea. Fast pulse. Shaky knees. Trembling lips. PUBLIC SPEAKING ANXIETY: THE BASICS. Anxiety about speaking in public is one of the most common fears reported by adults and young adults. While some degree of anxiety is a normal and expected part of public speaking, presenting or otherwise “performing” in public, for many the anxiety is so intense that it interferes with their ability to function. Symptoms and Effects. There are many ways that social or performance anxiety can limit a person’s activities and interfere with daily life. Individuals who experience bouts of performance anxiety may feel isolated because they avoid certain social gatherings or parties, they may avoid enrolling in certain classes because of course demands for class participation and oral presentations, and/or they may avoid certain jobs or even turn down job opportunities and job promotions because public contact or public speaking will be required. Symptoms of performance anxiety vary from individual to individual. Almost everyone worries about potential embarrassment, and appearing foolish or stupid to others. When confronting the feared situation, whether it’s a party or a class discussion, most people also experience some of the physical symptoms associated with anxiety. These symptoms include trembling, sweating, clammy hands, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, muscle tension, blushing, confusion or losing one’s train of thought, gastrointestinal discomfort, shaky voice, and/or dizziness. Resources. The good news is that performance anxiety can be helped. As social, academic, and occupational success increasingly demands the ability to communicate effectively, individuals who experience anxiety do not have to suffer quietly, or worse, avoid situations that they might otherwise enjoy. Help for performance anxiety sufferers may take different forms depending on the needs and goals of the individual. Almost all interventions however, will share some common features. First, the pattern of avoidance is gradually broken so that the feared situation can be confronted, slowly and systematically. This doesn’t mean that someone who is anxious about public speaking immediately attempts to deliver a lengthy speech. Instead, the exposure to the feared situation occurs in a planned, gradual way. For example, someone who is anxious about speaking in public might begin by asking a brief question in class, and then move on to more challenging tasks, such as making a comment in a group discussion or volunteering to answer a question. Along the way, the individual is coached in methods of handling both the physical and mental or cognitive aspects of anxiety. This may involve using strategies such as stress management techniques, relaxation exercises, imagery, self-talk, and cognitive restructuring.
