ANXIETY DISORDER
Anxiety is a normal emotion that is experienced in situations in which the subject
feels threatened by an external or internal danger. Occasional anxiety is a normal
part of life. However, people with anxiety disorders often have intense, excessive,
and persistent worries and fears about everyday situations. Anxiety disorders often
include repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror
that peak within minutes.
In order to prevent these feelings, it may happen that you avoid certain places or
situations. Symptoms can begin in childhood or adolescence and continue into
adulthood.
Sometimes anxiety stems from an illness that requires treatment. Some examples
of anxiety disorder are: generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder (social
phobia), specific phobias, and separation anxiety disorder. You may have more
than one anxiety disorder. Sometimes anxiety stems from an illness that requires
treatment.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY?

There are different clinical pictures in which anxiety is the main symptom
• Panic attack disorder, in which anxiety presents episodically as palpitations,
choking sensations, unsteadiness, tremors, or fear of dying.
• Phobic disorder, with specific or nonspecific fears. Acute or post-traumatic
stress reactions.
The most common signs and symptoms of anxiety include the following:
• Feeling nervous, agitated, or tense.
• Sensation of imminent danger, panic or catastrophe.
• Increased heart rate.
• Fast breathing (hyperventilation).
• sweating
• Tremors.
• Feeling weak or tired.
• Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the current
concern.
• Having trouble falling asleep.
• Having gastrointestinal (GI) problems.
• Having difficulty controlling worries.
• Having the need to avoid situations that generate anxiety.

TYPES OF ANXIETY
Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear places and situations
that may cause you to panic or make you feel trapped, helpless, or ashamed, and
you often try to avoid them.
 • Anxiety disorder due to illness includes symptoms of intense anxiety or
panic that are directly caused by a physical health problem.
• Panic disorder involves repeated episodes of sudden feelings of anxiety and
intense fear or terror that peak within minutes. You may have feelings of
impending doom, shortness of breath, chest pain, or a fast, pounding, or
fluttering heartbeat. These panic attacks can cause the person to worry that
they will happen again or to avoid situations in which they have happened.
• Separation anxiety disorder is a childhood disorder characterized by anxiety
that is excessive for the child's developmental level and is related to
separation from parents or others who perform a parental role.
• Social anxiety disorder involves high levels of anxiety, fear, or rejection of
social situations due to feelings of shame, insecurity, and concern about
being judged or perceived negatively by other people.
• Specific phobias are characterized by marked anxiety when the person is
exposed to a specific object or situation, and a desire to avoid it.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF ANXIETY?

Among the precipitating factors of the disease would be stressful events, in
particular difficulties in interpersonal relationships, physical illnesses and work
problems.
The sum of the predisposing and triggering risk factors is what probably results in
an anxiety disorder.
Predisposing risk factors
Family background. There is a family component in the development of some
anxiety disorders, which means that if a person has any of these disorders, their
relatives are more likely to have it too. This does not mean that the children of a
person with an anxiety disorder will develop it.
There are also factors related to parenting style that can generate a predisposition
to develop an anxiety disorder. An insecure bond between the baby and their
caregivers, as well as an excessively authoritarian or overprotective parenting
style, are related to a greater vulnerability to these disorders.
Another factor that can sometimes help develop an anxiety disorder is the "way of
being" of a person. People with a tendency toward inhibition and shyness may
have a greater tendency to develop anxiety disorders. However, it must be
remembered that there is no single risk factor that is decisive in the appearance of
these disorders.

PREVENTION
It's not possible to predict with certainty what causes a person to have an anxiety
disorder, but you can take steps to reduce the impact of symptoms if you feel
anxious:
• Ask for help right away. Anxiety, like many other mental disorders, can be
more difficult to treat if you delay
• Stay active.
• Participate in activities that you enjoy and that make you feel good about
yourself.
• Enjoy social interaction and your affections, which can ease your worries.
• Avoid alcohol or drug use.
• Alcohol and drug use can cause anxiety or make it worse.

TREATMENT
There are effective therapies for anxiety disorders that can help most people with
anxiety disorders lead productive and fulfilling lives.
The greatest efficacy has been achieved with the combination of
psychopharmaceuticals and psychotherapy.
Among the drugs, antidepressants are used in doses higher than those required to
treat depression. Benzodiazepines, which quickly control symptoms, are also
useful, although they should not be given for a long time.
