Anxiety Introduction

Anxiety is a natural human feature of behavior and is an inherent part of our species. The word "anxiety" is derived from the word "anxious", which came from a meaning of being tormented. Anxiety in itself is then known to be a type of self-torment which is brought up as a defensive response to a given situation.

Anxiety is so common that almost everyone experiences it in some form every single day. This anxiety is not a problem, it is only when anxiety begins to creep into places where it actually has no real justification that it becomes a problem and is termed to be a 'disorder'.

Anxiety Disorders

There are a range of different types of anxiety disorders which may be treated differently. The most common anxiety disorders include:


Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Social Phobia
Panic Attacks
Agoraphobia
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD)
Specific Phobias

Common Anxiety Causes

Causes of anxiety disorders are rarely ever set in stone and can be due to a range of different things such as:


Genetic Predisposition - Some types of anxiety disorders such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) have been found to run in families and are thought to perhaps be inherited through a gene which makes people more prone to become anxious.
Stress - High levels of stress or seemingly endless stressful situations have been proven as a cause of anxiety disorders. Disorders such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are specifically found to have been caused by stressful and traumatizing events.
Sudden life changes - Death of loved ones and other sudden, shocking changes in everyday life can play a large role in the development of an anxiety disorder.

There may also be a range of internal and external factors which are involved in the development of each specific case of anxiety disorders. It is important to talk about the things you think might be causing your anxiety problems with someone who will listen and understand where you are coming from. This can help you to resolve your own feelings and to better understand why you are going through a tough time.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

Symptoms of anxiety disorders may range vastly depending on the type of anxiety. Some very common anxiety symptoms include:




Restlessness
Worry & fear
Anxiety feelings when riding or driving in a car
Pain or tightness in the chest
Sweating
Difficulty sleeping
Strange muscle aches and pains
Difficulty breathing
Frequent yawning
Irritability
Difficulty concentrating or mind going blank
Being easily fatigued
Feeling on edge

Natural Anxiety Treatments

Relaxation techniques

Learning how to relax your body and release pent up tension which contributes to anxiety can be incredibly helpful in treating the root cause of anxiety disorders. Some good relaxation techniques for anxiety include:

* Progressive muscle relaxation

* Meditation

* Relaxing music

* Abdominal breathing

* Relaxation exercises

Cognitive therapy

The use of cognitive therapy is primarily focused on changing patterns of thinking and subconscious beliefs which are triggering or may be associated with the experienced anxiety. For example, a person suffering from social phobia anxiety may benefit from changing beliefs about the way people see him/her. If the person says to themselves, "I am boring" it is dis-empowering and may worsen the condition. If the person can begin to change their beliefs and surrounding thought patterns, it becomes much easier to change for the good.

Cognitive therapy includes rational 'self-talk', reality testing, cognitive challenging, attention training and cognitive restructuring. This includes monitoring your self-talk, challenging unhelpful fears and beliefs, and testing out the reality of negative thoughts.

Correct breathing techniques

Something as simple as learning how to change your patterns of breathing can be of great benefit to reducing the effects of your anxiety. Hyperventilation is a key physiological problem which results in the body becoming over-saturated with oxygen and thus panic-stricken. Learning to breathe through the diaphragm instead of the chest is greatly helpful here, simply allowing the stomach to expand with each breath.

You can make sure you are breathing correctly by placing one hand on your lower abdomen and the other on your chest. Correct breathing means your abdomen moves, rather than your chest. It also helps to slow your breathing while feeling anxious. You can also try to hold your breath for a few seconds. This helps to boost carbon dioxide levels in the blood and counteracts the effects of hyperventilation.

Behavior therapy

A major component of behavior therapy is exposure. Exposure here simply means, removing all obstacles which are standing between you and your fear and confronting it at its most basic level. This may help to re-assess and redefine fears which might then cause a breakthrough.

The steps of exposure therapy may include:

* Rank your fears in order, from most to least threatening.

* Decide to start on one of your least threatening fears.

* Perform an imaginary role-play of confronting the fears and analyze what it is exactly that is causing fear.

* Slowly increase your tolerance to confronting your fear by taking small steps towards being more and more afraid or uncomfortable.

* Resist the urge to leave. Use relaxation, breathing techniques and coping statements to manage your anxiety.

* Reflect on your result from the situation and realize that nothing bad happened.

* Repeat the exposure as often as you can to build confidence that you can cope.

* Perform the same cycle of exposure with other fears when you are ready.

Dietary adjustments

Changes made to regular dietary consumption can also make a big difference to the severity of your anxiety problems. Reducing the intake of caffeine is one of the most basic starting points, remembering that caffeine can be found in moderate to high doses in coffee, tea, chocolate, green tea and energy drinks. Taking more health-promoting, calming substitutes for these foods can make a huge difference in itself. Other things you can do are simple things such as eating more fruits and vegetables and eating foods which have not been highly processed. Try to avoid white breads, margarine, deep fried foods and chocolate bars.

Exercise

Exercise helps to promote the production of happy-hormone endorphins which make you feel good. On top of this, exercise will help to destroy stress hormones which are responsible for the "fight-or-flight" reactions our bodies have to stressful situations (also a key cause of anxiety). Aim to do a varied exercise program each week at least 3 days per week and keep it up!

Learn to be more assertive

Letting people know how you feel about certain things may help to avoid loads of unnecessary stress which would otherwise be placed on you! You need to become more assertive in your communication with other people which means communicating your opinions, needs and wants more directly. This will help to build your own self esteem and also just avoids lowering your self esteem by not speaking up!

Building self-esteem

Creating an environment of people and things that make you feel good about yourself will help to build your self-worth and feelings of confidence will arise as a result. With anxiety, many people typically find that low self esteem is inherent. This low self esteem can then create a compounding effect which can enhance feelings such as:

* Isolation

* Shame

* Guilt

* Depressed mood

* Difficulties in functioning at school, work or in social situations.

Structured problem solving

Learning how to actively seek out solutions to your problems really can be half the battle in dealing with your anxiety. Many people who suffer from anxiety remain so passive and un-motivated to solve their problems that they become drowned in worry and do nothing about their problems.

Medication

Drugs have been shown to be effective in treating anxiety while they are being taken. It is vitally important, however, to view medications as a short-term solution to the problem only. It has been clearly proven in medical publications that behavior therapies and regular counseling sessions when coupled with natural anxiety treatments are far more effective in defeating anxiety in a long-term way.

Where to get help

* Your GP

* A psychologist

* Counselors

* Local community centers and telephone lines will almost always have free services available to you should you seek them out.

Treatment of anxiety - the natural remedy for anxiety relief


L-theanine, occurring naturally in green tea, it is effective for treating the symptoms of anxiety and provide relief of anxiety

Anxiety is a State of intense fear, uncertainty, restlessness or apprehension due to anticipation of an imaginary or real threaten future event. Anxiety can be devastating, both physical as psychological life of the patient anxiety. Anxiety is often sub-categorized agree with the approach of the perceived threat.There are social anxiety, anxiety separation, dating from anxiety, the performance anxiety, anxiety mathematics, etc.Stress and anxiety often go hand in hand and may cause anxiety depression as the individual feels powerless to receive any help anxiety.

There are a variety of treatments against anxiety in overcoming anxiety.For some, anxiety medications are a source of relief of the ansiedad.Otros prefer not to use any of the medicines anxiolytics and opt for more natural cures for the management of the ansiedad.Éstos may include herbs for anxiety, acupuncture, vitamins of anxiety, aromatherapy for the relief of anxiety, anxiety treatments even hypnosis has proved to be beneficial anxiety overcome.

This article describes the amino acid L-theanine of perhaps little known as a natural remedy for the relief of anxiety.

L-theanine is a species found only in plant tea and badius Xerocomus mushrooms and certain amino acid singular form of free of genus Camellia, C. japonica and C. sasanqua. Green tea drinkers often report a feeling of calm that you feel after drinking a cup or two, while green tea has approximately half the caffeine in coffee.This is due to the high L-theanine content.

Apart from reducing the symptoms of anxiety, studies have shown that l-theanine can be effective to promote concentration, supporting the immune system, improve learning performance, lowering blood pressure, increase the formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA and increased levels of brain dopamine among other positive benefits with no known disadvantage.

In cooperation with Taiyo Kagaku Co., the Shizuoka University and Institute of Japanese family planning studies have shown that women taking 200 mg L-theanine daily have reduced incidence of symptoms of PMS.estos symptoms include social, mental, and physical symptoms. In general, noted a significant relief of the symptoms of PMS by L-theanine.

While it is still under investigation, L-theanine seems to play a role in the formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter Gamma Amino butyric acid (GABA).GABA blocks release of neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, which played a key role in relaxation effect.

Everyone knows the effects of stress and anxiety can have on the physical status of an individual well-being.Fascinating neurochemistry research has revealed that given a shot of GABA essentially returned to clocks in the brains of older monkeys, which briefly operated brain function levels normally seen in monkeys less than half his age.

GABA, gamma amino butyric acid, is a chemical neurotransmitter that is essential for optimizing how to transmit messages between the brain cells and acts to put a damper on junk brain activity signalling.Although it is not documented in humans related to the decline of GABA, a large number of studies in mammals, age including other primates, suggests that a similar process is at work in people.

Ages 26 and 32 - monkeys considered old age for monkeys - who got GABA delivered directly to their neurons responding to Visual patterns such as flickering lines vertical and horizontal, in much the same way as 7 to 9-year-old monkeys did.

Without delivery of GABA, age drain the monkeys had more difficulties for firing neurons that specifically measure various aspects of the perception of depth, movement and the color.En instead, oldest monkeys have more random shots that make your observation difficult nuances visuales.En of monkeys, GABA had no effect since their brains were the optimal functioning of GABA.

L-theanine is considered safe based on their historical use as a component of tea and toxicology studies favorable.Té is the most consumed drink throughout the world after water has been consumed for thousands of years by billions of personas.Se estimates that between 200 and 400 mg of L-theanine daily consume a drinker heavy tea (6-8 cups daily).

While the dose for depression and anxiety disorder remain individual, take 100 to 200 mg 1 to 3 times daily for the relief of the ansiedad.Basándose results of clinical studies, has been established that the L-theanine is effective only in the range of 50 to 200 doses mg.Se has suggested that subjects with higher levels of anxiety take a dose at the height of the effective range (100-200 mg) to overcome anxiety.

Therefore, what is anxiety?

 What is anxiety? Anxiety is a term used for different disorders that can turn into physical symptoms that are caused by being tense, nervous and worry. There are different levels of anxiety where you can have mild anxiety which can be unsettling to more severe symptoms that cause mental and physical health problems.Anxiety usually develops when someone is facing something that is out of their comfort zone and therefore can be many challenging situations. For example, if you were to take an exam, attend an interview or give a speech. It affects people in different ways because for some, these situations can be considered normal yet to many others, it can affect your whole life such as being unable to sleep, cause mistakes at work or being unable to eat properly. In general, anxiety happens when a reaction is exaggerated with what is usually expected. Anxiety disorders can be categorized into more specific types. Below are the most common forms of anxiety.
G.A.D - Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a severe form of anxiety categorized by excessive long term anxiety and are afraid of nonspecific events and situations. These sufferers of G.A.D worry about all sorts of issues. This can be family life, work related issues, health, money worries but have trouble identifying the controlling their fears. This fear is often looked at by outsiders as sometimes a little trivial and overblown of what is normally expected from these situations. This can sometimes be looked as a little unfair as they are unable to emphasis and being too critical on the individual who has difficulty handling somewhat trivial but distressing everyday problems, like social activities, relationships and work related issues.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is anxiety that is brought on from a previous situation that was particularly distressing. These can be severe cases such as if someone was attacked or burgled to very severe cases such as hostage situations, rape cases or for a soldier who has fought in military combat. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder involves flashbacks to that particular event and can cause stress behaviour when the situation is recalled.
What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)? Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is disorder of anxiety that can be irrational and repetitive but the sufferer alleviates their compulsive disorder by acting on performing a certain pattern with an insistence such as obsessively washing their hands, checking the door locks, oven light switches and constantly cleaning personal items.
Social Anxiety Disorder?
Social Anxiety Disorder is a social phobia that is a fear of public humiliation and by being judged by people with a negative attitude. Examples of this are possibly a fear of being intimate or if a performer gets severe stress from stage fright. This can have a serious affect on the person by becoming reclusive and avoids appearing in the public reaching critical circumstances that leaves having a normal life almost impossible.
Panic Disorder? Panic Disorder is a type of anxiety categorized by short, sudden attacks of severe terror and apprehension that leads to breathing difficulties, dizziness and nausea. Panic attacks can happen very quickly and peak after 15 minutes, but they can last for hours. Panic disorders sometimes occur after terrifying experiences or prolonged stress, but they can be spontaneous as well. A panic attack may lead a person to be quite aware of any change in normal body function, interpreting it as a life threatening illness - hyperventilation followed by hypochondria. Also, attacks lead a sufferer to expect further panic attacks, which could cause drastic behavioral changes in order to avoid these attacks.
What is a Phobia?
A Phobia is an indescribable fear of an object, event or situation that causes the person to have a panic attack or an uncontrollable reaction where the action is very difficult to control. Phobias such as flying or particular animals such as reptiles are quite common and experienced by many people, but there are many, many phobias of objects that can be seen as quite strange yet still result in the person having irrational anxiety attacks. 
What is Separation Anxiety Disorder?

Separation Anxiety Disorder is a disorder that places a person with feelings of panic and irrational behaviour when they are far away from a particular object, person or place. Particular cases of when people leave home to another city or country or if a family is separated find it difficult to cope with their new surroundings leading to excessive or inappropriate behavior.
The common symptoms of anxiety? People with anxiety disorders present many different physical symptoms as well as non-physical symptoms that characterize the disorders such as excessive, unrealistic worrying. Many of these symptoms are similar to those exhibited by a person suffering general illness, heart attack, or stroke, and this tends to further increase anxiety. Below is a list of the physical symptoms associated with Generalized Anxiety Disorder:

Trouble sleeping Easily startled Tense Muscles Irritated Concentration problems Tiredness Headaches, Migraines Shaking Stomach ache Nausea Pins and needles Faster Heart Rate Sweating Itching or scratching. Those suffering from panic disorders may experience similar physical symptoms to those with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. They also may experience breath shortness, feeling faint, and a sense of choking.
Post-traumatic stress disorders have also different symptoms that are unique to this form of anxiety. The More Frequent symptomatic behaviors include: Nightmares or flashbacks of re-experiencing the trauma Avoiding things associated with the disorder, avoiding people. Difficulty concentrating Being unable to sleep Closely watching surroundings (hypervigilance) Diminished or irritability of feelings or aspirations for the future
So, what Causes Anxiety? Most common causes of anxiety can be triggered by ourselves telling us negative thoughts and the worst case scenario will happen. Have you ever gone for an interview thinking you'll do badly, and that is exactly what happens? There are other factors such as medical, brain disorder, genetics, early childhood experiences or a combination of all. The most common anxiety comes from the stress in our lives and feeling a lack of confidence when others around them are being successful.
Environmental and external factors Environmental factors that are known to create different sorts of anxiety include: Trauma from events such as a death of a close relation or friend, mental or physical abuse or victimization. Stress in a personal relationship, marriage, friendship Stress at work Stress at school, college or university Stress about money and financial issues Lack of oxygen in areas of high altitude.
Medical factors Anxiety is associated with medical factors such as anemia, asthma, infections, and several heart conditions. There are some medically-related causes of anxiety such as: Symptoms of a medical illness or operation, Side effects of medication, A lack of oxygen from pulmonary embolism or emphysema, Substance use and abuse. Many people who are dependent on alcohol or medication suffer from mental health problems for certain anxiety disorders such as panic disorder, social phobia or Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

More generally, anxiety is also know to result from: Intoxication from an illicit drug, such as cocaine or amphetamines If the person stops taking an illicit drug, such as heroin, or from prescription drugs like barbiturates, Vicodin or benzodiazepines.
Genetics
Possibly the most unfortunate reasons are suggested that if there is a history of anxiety in the persons family, there is a good chance they could develop it. Some people have a genetic predisposition which will give them more of a chance of getting anxiety disorders.
Brain chemistry
Researchers have discovered that people with abnormal levels of certain neurotransmitters in their brain have a greater chance to suffer from generalized anxiety disorder. When neurotransmitters are not functioning properly, the brain's internal communication network breaks down, and the brain may behave in an inappropriate and different way in certain situations. This can lead to anxiety.
