What is Anxiety? Symptoms and Associated
Disorders
We all experience a certain degree of anxiety at certain points in our lifetime and in many situations, such as emergencies, it is a normal and healthy response. People who have an anxiety disorder, however, experience these feelings in situations where there is no objective cause or their feelings of anxiety are out of proportion with actual events.
Apprehension, worry, tension and uneasiness characterize the mental state and there may also be irritability, insomnia and excessive attentiveness to the point of distraction. Physical symptoms can include sweating, dizziness, palpitation, trembling, tightness in the chest, hot or cold flashes, frequent urination and diarrhea. Anxiety is also known to aggravate many other health conditions, such as asthma or ulcerative colitis.
To be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety must be high and it must be maladaptive, meaning it interferes with a person’s ability to live their life, to do their job, interact socially or take care of themselves and their responsibilities.
Panic disorder, characterized by episodes of intense anxiety, is closely related to generalized anxiety. People often think they are dying when they have their first panic attack, they may think they are having a heart attack or feel unreal or like they are going crazy. Social anxiety disorder is characterized by anxiety that occurs during or in anticipation of social situations.
Anxiety: Holistic Treatment and Natural Remedies
Anxiety is a very personal condition. Every patient has a different history, different triggers and a different experience of their symptoms. Due to the personal nature of anxiety disorders, the most effective treatment is treatment that is individualized to each patient. That is why Dr. Hanson takes an extensive history of each patient focusing on their individual experience and health history. To be effective, this individual approach requires only small amounts of very specific herbs or minerals, reducing the possibility of side effects.
In addition to the specific remedies for each patient, care is taken to address health issues that may be contributing to anxiety symptoms, which may include nutritional deficiencies, environmental sensitivities, or hormonal imbalances.
