Anxiety

Life Right Anxiety CircleEverybody knows what it’s like to feel anxiety…

Anxiety gives you the butterflies in your stomach before a first date, the tension you feel when your boss is angry, and the way your heart pounds if you’re in danger.

Anxiety rouses you to action, it gears you up to face a threatening situation, it makes you study harder for that exam and keeps you on your toes when you’re making a speech.  In general, it helps you cope.

But if you have an anxiety disorder, this normally helpful emotion can do just the opposite – it can keep you from coping and can disrupt your daily life.  There are several types of anxiety disorders, each with their own distinct features and these may make you feel anxious most of the time without any apparent reason, or the anxious feelings may be so uncomfortable that to avoid them you may stop some everyday activities.  You may even have occasional bouts of anxiety so intense they terrify and immobilize you.

Anxiety disorders and panic attacks are not signs of a character flaw.  Most importantly, feeling anxious is not your fault. It is a serious mood disorder that affects a person’s ability to function in every day activities.  It affects one’s work, one’s family, and one’s social life.

Today, much more is known about the causes and treatment of this problem.  We know that there are biological and psychological components to every anxiety disorder and that the best form of treatment is a combination of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy interventions.  At Life Right our approach is one of working in collaboration with any combination of the following being found helpful through PBE to those with anxiety disorders GP (Pharmaceuticals), psychotherapy, Neuroprogramming, electrons, supplements and visceral manual therapy

Contrary to the popular misconceptions about anxiety disorders today, it is not a purely biochemical or medical disorder.  There are as many potential causes of anxiety disorders as there are people who suffer from them.  Family history and genetics play a part in the greater likelihood of someone getting an anxiety disorder in their lifetime.  Increased stress and inadequate coping mechanisms to deal with that stress may also contribute to anxiety.
