What are the types of Anxiety that Zanaprin™ can help?
Everyone has fears and anxieties they experience throughout the day. However, people who suffer from anxiety disorders feel helpless to their irrational fears and anxieties. Even if they realize that their anxiety and suffering is unwarranted, they still feel trapped and powerless over their anxiety. Anxiety signs and symptoms are different from person to person and can both be physical and emotional. Physical symptoms of anxiety and stress include severe headaches, stomach pain and uneasiness, and can even be felt as persistent and unpleasant pains in the lower back and other areas of the body.
There are many types of anxiety - generalized, social, and panic, to name a few - that people suffer from on a daily basis. Anxiety disorder statistics show that Social Anxiety Disorder is the most common form of anxiety disorder, as well as the least understood form. Anxiety disorder statistics show that this disorder affects eight percent of the population. Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) can be distinguished from other common anxiety disorders - such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Panic Anxiety Disorder (PAD) - by the situations and thoughts that trigger anxiety symptoms. People with generalized anxiety are excessively overcome with worry throughout the day about multiple events and situations, but the worry is not specific to social evaluation. Social anxiety is a problem characterized by feelings of shame, humiliation and embarrassment.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social Anxiety Disorder is an experience of fear, apprehension or worry regarding social situations and being evaluated by others. People vary in how often they experience anxiety in this way or in which kinds of situations. Social anxiety is far more intense than shyness, and can keep you from functioning in everyday life. People with SAD want to interact with others, but are overcome with fear. Social Anxiety Disorders and social phobias take many shapes and
forms, and the variety of social triggers for a legitimate social anxiety problem can be quite diverse.
Social Anxiety Disorder is very common in people who also have severe mood swings. They can go through periods of time when they are very socially confident, and other periods where they feel intense anxiety symptoms when just thinking about meeting someone new. The physical symptoms of SAD may interfere with success or completion of school, making new friends or relationships, and having a successful career. Nonetheless, many individuals suffer with social phobia for many years without a diagnosis or treatment. Social Anxiety Disorder involves intense, irrational fears of specific anxiety-provoking situations, and repeated compulsive avoidance of those situations.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized Anxiety Disorder usually does not cause people to avoid situations, and there isn't the element of a "panic attack" involved in the prognosis, either. It's the thinking, thinking, thinking...dwelling, dwelling,...ruminating, ruminating...and ultimately the inability to "shut the mind off" that is so incapacitating. Generalized Anxiety Disorder is often accompanied by other problems, such as depression, substance abuse, and other anxiety disorders.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder affects people of all ages, even children and teenagers. Anxiety disorder statistics show that girls are twice as likely as boys to experience Generalized Anxiety Disorder. GAD is a condition characterized by chronic anxiety, worry, and tension, even when there is little or nothing to provoke it. The physical symptons of Generalized Anxiety Disorder include trembling, headaches, and irritability. Generalized Anxiety Disorder is constant and can cause anxiety/panic attacks during the day and night. Night time anxiety and panic attacks are especially disturbing and can often wake the sufferer from deep sleep feeling particularly frightened.
Individuals find it hard to keep fears and worried thoughts from interfering with their daily lives. They often ponder over and preoccupy themselves with everyday circumstances around their jobs, finances, their health and the health of their families. People with Generalized Anxiety Disorder also experience other physical symptoms during worry, such as muscle tension, trouble sleeping (falling asleep or staying asleep), difficulty concentrating, irritability, and feeling easily fatigued. Anxiety disorder statistics indicate that about 6% of Americans will meet criteria for GAD over their lifetime.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder is associated with irregular levels of neurotransmitters in the brain (neurotransmitters are chemicals that carry signals across nerve endings). GAD is about chronic, excessive worry over events that are unlikely to occur. They may worry about finances just because a bill arrives in the mail or health just because they saw a news story on heart attacks. GAD usually affects the body as well as the mind. Its symptoms include unrelenting, exaggerated worry, restlessness, and fatigue; as well as irritability, trouble concentrating, and insomnia.
Panic Anxiety Disorder
Panic Anxiety Disorder is a recognized medical disorder normally characterized by sudden and severe panic episodes. Panic Anxiety Disorder is a mental disease that can affect anybody at any time. When you find yourself in unwanted situations, your body's natural reaction will be to panic. Panic Anxiety Disorder is characterized by repeated, unprovoked attacks of terror, accompanied by physical symptoms including chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, weakness, and sweating. A panic attack can resemble a heart attack, and often the first indication of the disorder is when you are rushed to the emergency room with chest pains.
Panic attacks come on in wave-like formations. Panic is a sudden episode of intense anxiety, and one attack often leads into another and creates a cruel cycle of anxiety that seems unlikely to break out of. The most common physical symptoms of anxiety are heart palpitations, sweating, shaking, shortness of breath and a feeling of suffocating. Panic will not respond to techniques and strategies aimed at reducing and dealing with general worry. Panic and phobias are ways in which anxiety can also affect people.
These types of anxiety are detrimental to many areas of life. Most of these disorders can't be treated with positive thinking or calm thoughts because they involve an imbalance in the neurotransmitters in the brain.
