(gentle music) – [Narrator] Hey, Psych2Goers, and welcome back to another video. Your love and support have enabled us to send your way another
wealth of everyday psychology. So, let’s explore. Have you heard of borderline
personality disorder or BPD before? It’s a personality disorder that affects about one to three
percent of the population. So, what is BPD? People with BPD struggle with self-image and self-perception. Their behavior and view
of others change quickly as they battle waves of
sadness, anger, or anxiety. It’s linked to traumatic events, brain chemistry, and family history. However, these factors aren’t always present in people with the disorder. Hidden BPD is a type in which the symptoms of the
disorder are internalized. They’re not displayed outwardly, making its diagnosis difficult. This leads your friends,
partner, or family members to misunderstand your actions as having a toxic personality or a different mental
disorder like anxiety rather than borderline
personality disorder. Before we begin, we would like to remind you that the purpose of this video
is to create awareness and should in no case be
used to self-diagnose. If you find you can relate to these signs, please reach out to a
professional for help. With that being said, here are seven hidden signs of borderline personality disorder. One, self-hatred, self-harm. Do you often see the world in extremes and struggle to maintain
a sense of identity? One hidden sign of borderline
personality disorder is drastically low self-esteem or self-hatred. This creates internal conflict
like constant self-criticism, negative self-image, and feeling
like you’re a bad person. Self-harm is another sign of borderline personality disorder. And this can escalate to suicidal thoughts or attempts at suicide. Two, difficulty regulating emotions. You cycle between periods
of intense emotions like emptiness, sadness,
anger, and anxiety. People with BPD struggle
to feel in control of their emotional
responses to situations. This is called effective instability and it’s more intense and longer lasting than hormonal mood swings. Because people with hidden BPD tend to internalize their feelings, their mood swings likely won’t
be as noticeable to others. It’s important to note, however, that intense mood swings can also be a sign of mood disorders which is why it’s so
important to get diagnosed by a mental health professional. In some cases, a person may be diagnosed with both a borderline personality disorder and a mood disorder such as bipolar. Three, internalized anger. Intense anger can also be a sign of BPD. Some people verbally or physically lash out at others brought on by BPD. But in the case of hidden BPD, this anger is turned
inwards against the self and in the form of self-hatred or is suppressed which
is even more lethal. Such anger can also manifest as repeated frustration
or extreme irritation when faced with interpersonal stressors that people without BPD or
other personality disorders can handle without getting upset. Fourth, fear of rejection. Would you agree that
rejection is hard to stomach even in the best of times? For those with BPD, fear of rejection is
yet another hidden sign. This could manifest in an irrational fear that loved ones will
leave you, social anxiety, or a desire to please everyone around you to try and prevent them
from rejecting you. The fact that people
with BPD often struggle to maintain relationships
only adds to this fear. Five, unstable relationships. Do you face difficulty maintaining interpersonal relationships like friendships, sibling bonds,
or romantic relationships? It can be difficult for people with BPD to preserve relationships because they often idealize
or think very highly of and then romanticize someone for a while and then devalue distrust
or become disgusted with them. A 2016 study suggests
that some people with BPD react to relationship
stressors with impulsivity which generates instability
in relations as well. Six, impulsive decisions. While cycles of impulsive
decisions commonly occur in those with bipolar disorder
and other mood disorders, they’re also a sign of BPD. Examples of impulsive decisions
someone with BPD might make are substance abuse,
spending or gambling sprees, skipping work or
appointments, unprotected sex, binge eating, or reckless driving. Impulsive decisions are
a hidden sign of BPD because others may think this impulsivity comes from low impulse control or another mental disorder instead of BPD. And seven, disassociation. Finally, people with
borderline personality disorder may disassociate more frequently and for longer periods than typical functioning people. Disassociation is when thoughts or emotions enter your mind and you find yourself incapable
of focusing on your actions, instead operating on autopilot or watching yourself do things without feeling connected to your body. Disassociation is a hidden symptom of BPD because others may assume
someone who is disassociating is just tired or distracted. Disassociation can also
be a symptom of PTSD or dissociative identity
disorder, also known as DID. But if it occurs alongside
the other things, it’s likely a hidden sign of BPD. It’s important to remember that mental disorders
affect everyone differently. Not everyone experiences all the symptoms. You might also experience
symptoms not listed here. That’s why it’s so important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional with experience in personality disorders if you think you or someone
you love might have BPD. Have you or someone, you
know, been diagnosed with BPD? Are you now better equipped to look out for its hidden symptoms? Let us know in the comments below. If you found this video helpful, be sure to hit the like

Hello, welcome back to Mind Matter with Dr Ogochukwu Ojiaku Last time we discussed Prejudice and discrimination around mental illness and how we can fight stigma and support individuals with mental illness. If you have not watched the last video already, please endeavor to do so in order to stay up to date, Today we will be discussing anxiety disorders. This is going to have multiple series. Anxiety disorders are among the most common of all psychiatric illnesses. It is a mental health diagnosis that is characterized by feelings of worry, apprehension, and intense fear that are strong enough to interrupt one’s daily activities. I wanted to discuss anxiety today because many people are unaware that anxiety can actually be a mental health disorder that requires professional intervention. Of course, Anxiety is a normal human emotion. However, there are various levels of anxiety disorders. There are Mild moderate severe levels and then there is panic disorder. The mild and moderate levels of anxiety are normal levels. Actually, these two can be motivational. For instance, if you have an upcoming exam, this is the type of anxiety that motivates one to study harder in order to be successful on the exam In the mild level of anxiety, vital signs are normal. However, there is often increased awareness of one’s surroundings in the moderate level of anxiety. There is a mild increase in heart rate, a moderate increase in muscle, tone, subjective feeling of worry or apprehension, and narrowed perception. Then we have severe levels of anxiety and panic disorder. These two levels are considered pathological, which means they are abnormal. The severe level of anxiety causes the pupils to dilate diaphoresis, increase muscle, and rigidity, and cause urinary frequency, diarrhea, and sweating profusely. Panic disorder, on the other hand, causes significantly increased symptoms. However, today we’ll be focusing on the mild, moderate, and severe levels of anxiety in our future series. We will address the diverse types of anxiety, which will include panic. Disorder Anxiety is considered pathological When it is disproportionate to events When it is sustained over a long period of time When it impairs one’s function And when it is clearly unrelated to any identifiable event or situation in a person s life, This type of anxiety interferes With perceptions memory, judgment and motor responses, so they require professional treatment and therapeutic intervention, Initially anxiety present as several physical illness states, People experiencing anxiety may complain of chest, pain, heart palpitation, sweating and even feel as if there about to have heart attack. Of course, we want to make sure that the Individual gets a proper workup to rule out cardiac-related issues or other probable causes of their symptoms. Often anxiety is diagnosed or correctly identified after unnecessary assessment and diagnostic evaluation. This is due to the elevated level of somatic symptoms of anxiety disorder. Research has shown that untreated elevated levels of anxiety predispose people to other serious health problems. Therefore, with that said, the first step to seeking treatment is to talk to your medical provider to make sure that your symptoms are not due to other physical problems. Of course, If anxiety is diagnosed, a mental health professional can work with you to design the best treatment plan for you. Sadly, many people with anxiety disorder do not seek treatment because they are unaware that anxiety is treatable. As stated earlier, anxiety is among the most common psychiatric illnesses. It is distinguished by the degree of anxiety experienced by the client, the duration of the anxiety, the severity of the anxiety, and the behavioral manifestation seen in the client experiencing the anxiety. It is important, especially important to know that Anxiety ranges from acute state to chronic disorders and they are often associated with physical symptoms such as chest, pain, chest, tightness, weakness, and shortness of breath. In the future, we will explore the diverse types of anxieties that exist, which will include panic, disorder, Agoraphobia, Specific Phobia, Social Anxiety, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please call 911. You can also call the crisis line number 866, 903 3787, or go to the nearest emergency room for treatment. Our email address is located in the description.

(pleasant comforting music) – [Amanda] Hey there psych2-goers and welcome back to our channel. We wanted to let you know
that your ongoing support helps us make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. So, thank you all so much for
the love that you’ve given us. Before we begin, we wanted
to remind you that this video is meant for informative purposes only and is not meant to be a
diagnostic tool for mental illness. Please reach out to a
mental health professional or your doctor if you think you might be struggling with anxiety. With that said, let’s begin. Anxiety seems to be so
mainstream these days and people are feeling more
stressed out than ever. However, there is a difference
between experiencing anxiety and having an anxiety disorder. Feelings of nervousness or
restlessness will go away but people with anxiety disorders get no such break from their symptoms. This can change the way you communicate, behave, and even think. In today’s video, we will be
talking about eight struggles that people with anxiety can relate to. Number one, you fret and worry over small decision choices. Do you freeze with indecision
when thinking about what you want for lunch? It usually shouldn’t matter that much but when your brain is
moving at a mile a minute, it’s not hard to invent
a hypothetical situation where this choice could
mean life or death. There are so many what-ifs to consider and the anxious brain
wants to examine them all. It’s important to remember why your mind stays stuck on something, it’s trying to protect you. The what-ifs are all meant
to prepare your brain to deal with real situations,
should they arise. Be kind to yourself when making a decision doesn’t come easily to you. It’s not for nothing, even if it is disruptive or frustrating. Two, which comes first,
anxiety or sleep disruption? If you find it difficult
to get a good night’s sleep with an anxious brain, you’re not alone. According to the Anxiety
and Depression Association of America, Stress and
Anxiety is closely related to and often coincides with sleep disorders. These can range from
nightmares or restlessness to more complex conditions
such as bruxism, where you grind your teeth while you sleep, or narcolepsy which causes you
to spontaneously fall asleep. It can be hard to tell
whether sleep troubles or anxious thoughts are
the root of the problem. Anxiety can cause a lack
of sleep just as easily as a lack of sleep can
make you feel anxious. Number three, the worst-case scenarios always seem more likely than they are. When you’ve been dealing with
your anxiety for a long time, your brain gets used to being
on the alert for danger, even when no one is present. This is why it’s easy to ruminate on negative or intrusive thoughts. Jumping passed the more likely outcomes to a worst-case scenario
becomes automatic. Everyday occurrences send
your nervous system spinning when you’ve become so good
at searching for anything that might go wrong. We offer a challenge to any anxious psych2-goers out there, if you notice yourself
imagining a disastrous outcome or event, see if you can come
up with one other scenario that may occur instead. Is one more likely than
the other to take place? Number four, you have no clue if others can sense your anxiety. Do you worry about whether
Or can no other people tell when you’re feeling anxious? And then are you doubly
worried about how someone will react if they do find out
you’re having a panic attack? Since no people experience
anxiety the same way nor are any two situations the same, there’s no tangible way to tell
unless you tell someone that you’re not feeling well. If anything, your anxiety
is not as noticeable as you fear it to be. There are so many other restless, sweaty, awkward people in the world and everyone else is probably
too worried about themselves that they’re less likely to notice if you look a little
flushed or acted a little odd. Five, you can literally
worry yourself sick. Have you ever been so stressed
and worried that you felt like you might throw up or pass out? When you suffer from anxiety,
These severe reactions become normal which can put immense stress on your body over time. Mayo Clinic states that
symptoms such as headaches, heart palpitations, and
Gastrointestinal issues are common expressions of anxiety. Dealing with these over
an extended period of time can lead to complications such
as irritable bowel syndrome and other chronic disruptions
in the nervous system. Six, self-doubt slows you down socially. Do you long to be out and
about with your friends but your anxiety and doubt convince you to stay home instead? Socializing can be incredibly stressful for someone with anxiety, especially if you have
social anxiety disorder which is specific to
public or group settings. Between physical symptoms
and a racing mind, keeping up a conversation with
your friends can be tricky. Your brain interrupts with
intrusive thoughts and questions and you wonder if you’re doing it right. If you notice that you’re worrying about whether your anxiety makes
you come across as awkward or quiet, that’s okay. It’s good to be aware
of your effect on others but make sure you’re trying your best to be genuine and be you. Living in today’s society is
a lot of pressure already, so there’s no need to
double down on yourself. Seven, you find it hard to stay focused, you find
It is hard to stay focused. When your anxiety is bad, do
you struggle to concentrate? Like, when you must
reread a page in a book a couple of times over before you finally comprehend what you’re reading. Recent BBC research cites a 2011 study from the University of Notre Dame, which confirms that the
brain is designed to hold only so much information at once. If you’re taking up that
space with tons of what-ifs and worries, there won’t be much room left for anything else. Changing your thought patterns
won’t happen overnight but it’s certainly possible. It will likely take some trial and error to find what works for you
but practicing mindfulness, getting exercise, and avoiding multitasking are a few good places to start. And number eight, yes, you can have anxiety
about your anxiety. Have you ever heard of agoraphobia? The UK National Health
Service defines agoraphobia as a fear of being in
situations where escape might be difficult or that
help wouldn’t be available if things go wrong. Most people who suffer from this condition practice avoidance. Some might refuse to take
public transportation or be in crowded or open spaces, while others may not
leave their house at all. Avoidance aims to protect you from danger, panic, and even embarrassment. Did you relate to any of these scenarios? Tell us about it in the comments below. Anxiety is tough but so are you. If you have any other tips that
help you with your anxiety, share them in the comments below. If you found this video

(soft music) – [Instructor] Hey Psych2goers, and welcome back to another video. Before we start, we would
like to give you a big thanks for all the support that you’ve given us. Psych2gos mission is to make
psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. Now let’s begin. Are you extremely afraid
of being judged by others? Are you very self-conscious
in everyday social situations? Do you avoid meeting new people? These are all trademark
signs of social anxiety, which affects approximately
15 million people in the United States alone. Social anxiety disorder is classified as a significant amount
of fear, embarrassment, or humiliation in social or
performance-based situations. It goes far deeper than mere shyness, where shyness is more
of a personality trait, Social anxiety disorder can
cause significant disruption of your daily life. Before we begin, we would like to mention that this video is created
for educational purposes only, and is not intended to substitute
a professional diagnosis. If you suspect you may have
social anxiety disorder or any mental health condition, we highly advise you to seek help from a qualified mental
health professional. With that said, here are nine things that social anxiety makes us do. One, repeatedly double-checking the location and time. Do you find yourself
repeatedly checking your phone to make sure you’re in the right place? It can be terrifying for
those with social anxiety to arrive late or walk
into the wrong room, so double or even triple-checking information is a must. Even if you know you’ve
got the details right, it can bring you peace of
mind just to make sure, it may be the difference between
walking in with confidence or hesitation. Two, rehearsing conversations
in your head ahead of time. While this may be a
subconscious practice at first, many people who face social
anxiety rehearse things they’re going to say before they have the actual conversation. This often begins as
imagining future conversations or running through a list of
important points to discuss. Some people find it more helpful to physically practice having
a conversation as well. That being said, not
everyone who rehearses their conversations beforehand, necessarily has social anxiety. Memorization and practice
are both common tools to aid you in feeling nervous, whether you’re anxious
about public speaking, talking to a specific person, or being social in general. Number three, avoiding phone calls. Even though it’s become a bit of a joke among millennials and Gen
For those who prefer to text, avoiding phone calls is
a fairly common behavior for people with social anxiety. Psychologist, Lindsay
Sharfstein told Headspace, that anxiety is typical for all of us, it’s a universal emotion
that we can all relate to. For the most part, we
know that individuals are not afraid of phones, they have phones in their
office, backpack, and purse, what they’re typically afraid of is the evaluation or
judgment that may happen when they’re on a phone. This may be why some
people prefer to text, instead of talk on the phone. The more one can put between themselves and the other person, the more comfortable they generally feel interacting. Four, faking phone calls. Have you ever pretended to
be in the middle of a call just to avoid talking to someone, or worn headphones to discourage others from approaching you? Although it’s safe to
assume that phone calls are not something that
people with social anxiety look forward to, faking
a call can come in handy. It can be a lot easier to act busy rather than face the awkwardness of an unwanted conversation, so this can become a habit of avoidance if you have social anxiety. Five, constantly worrying
about how everyone sees you. According to the Anxiety
and Depression Association of America, those with a
social anxiety disorder are increasingly concerned about how they are perceived by others. The last thing they want
is to come off as awkward, fumbling, or boring. You’ve likely felt this way at some point throughout your life, whether it’s the desire
to fit in with friends or make a good impression
on a potential employer, with social anxiety however, this pressure to perform
feels constantly heavy and can lead to full-blown panic attacks when in social or
performance-based situations. Number six is feeling lonely, even when you’re surrounded by people. People with social anxiety
can share this feeling with those who battle depression and other mental illnesses as well. So, unfortunately, a lot
of people can relate to this isolating feeling. When social anxiety keeps you
from being your true self, it can be difficult to
feel included at all. It’s frustrating to be close to others, but not be able to connect
with them comfortably. If you’re struggling
to properly communicate and are extremely hesitant
to even start a conversation, that adds to your feelings of loneliness, even when you’re surrounded by others. Number seven, clenching your teeth and other physical discomforts. You feel shaky or lightheaded when faced with a social situation. Does your heart rate speed
up, or do your hands tremble? The stress that comes with social anxiety can manifest through physical symptoms. Many of the symptoms are
signs of nervousness, such as sweating, flushing,
and feeling shaky. According to the Mayo Clinic, you might also be dealing
with muscle tension, feeling that your mind has gone blank, or having trouble catching your breath. Number eight, obsessing over how you look. When you’re constantly worried about how others perceive you, you’re likely to be concerned
with how you look as well. You might have a distorted body image and think that you’re less
physically attractive. Your thoughts can flit from
your hair to your clothes or flaws in your skin, thinking
that it’s just all wrong. In an attempt to feel
comfortable in your skin, you might spend an inappropriate
amount of time and money on fixing your appearance, such as shopping for better clothes, getting high-end beauty
products, or going on diets if you think you’re overweight. And number nine, you
feel more like yourself around the people you’re comfortable with. You think you’re picky about
who you spend time with and triumph over shyness, conquering social anxiety disorder, Dr. Marie B. Stein and John R. Walker discuss behavior in children
called selective mutism. This is when a child
speaks and acts normally around select individuals,
but is completely silent around everyone else, or when
placed in certain situations, this is a more extreme example, but it shows how those with social anxiety are more likely to relax and open up around people they already know and trust. Do you or anyone you know resonate with any of these points
mentioned in this video? If you’re concerned about
social anxiety disorder, we encourage you to speak with
a mental health professional, they can help you overcome any fears or debilitating problems you might have. If you enjoyed watching this
video, give us a thumbs up and share it with someone who
might find it helpful as well. The studies and references

As part of a live continuing education webinar on-demand CEUs are
still available for this presentation AllCEUs.com/Anxiety-CEU I’d like to welcome everybody to today’s
presentation on best practices for the treatment of anxiety I am your host, Dr. Dawn Elise Snipes now not too long ago we did
a presentation on strengths-based biopsychosocial approaches to addressing anxiety while
Those are wonderful you know I thought maybe we ought to look at you know what’s some of the
current research so I went into PubMed which is I don’t know it’s a playground for me it’s where
You find a lot of journal articles and you can sort I sorted by articles that were
done and meta-analyses that were done within the past five years so that gives us an idea
About current research I mean there’s a lot of stuff that is still the same like some of
The medications that were known to work ten years ago are still known to be you know good
first-line treatments but there are also some newcomers that we’ll talk about and there are
also some changes that we’re going to talk about so we’re going to explore some common causes
for anxiety symptoms in order to treat it, we really need to and of course, this does play into
the biopsychosocial aspect we really need to understand kind of what causes it because anxiety
that’s caused by for example somebody having a racing heart may be different than anxiety that’s
caused for somebody who has abandonment issues so we’re…
…It
can be incorporated in a lot of various places again where they’re not applying it or ingesting
it in any way all they’re doing is smelling it they’ve used it in defusing aromatherapy in
hospital emergency rooms and they found that it reduces stress and irritability the people in
emergency rooms and I’ve been to enough emergency rooms over the course of the years to know that
People who are in emergency rooms typically are not in the best mood so if it can help those people then
It’s probably going to have some sort of an effect so psychologically helping clients realize
that their body thinks there’s a threat for some reason that’s why it triggered the threat response
system which is what they call anxiety, so they need to figure out why is there really a threat
You know sometimes it’s like the fire alarm going off in my house it just means that the windows are
open and there’s a strong breeze there is no fire there is no problem there’s just a malfunction
It’s a false alarm A lot of times clients get this threat reaction they get this stress
reaction and it’s not a big deal right now so they can start modifying what their brain responds to
and again, those basic fears that a lot of people worry about failure rejection loss of control the
unknown and death and loss distress tolerance is one of those cognitive interventions that has
taken center stage in anxiety research and it isn’t about controlling your anxiety you know
helping people recognize their anxiety acknowledge it and say okay I’m anxious it is what it is
How can I improve the next moment instead of saying I’m anxious I shouldn’t be anxious I hate
being anxious and slang with that anxiety let it go just accept it is what it is have the client
learn to start saying I am feeling anxious okay so distracted don’t react because I explain to them
The whole notion of feelings comes in crest and go out in about 20 minutes It’s like a wave so once they
acknowledge their feeling if they can distract themselves for twenty or thirty minutes you know
Obviously, they figured out there’s no real threat if they can distract themselves for twenty or
thirty minutes those emotions can go down and then they can deal with it in their wise mind and encourage
them to use distancing techniques instead of saying I am anxious, or I am terrified or whatever
Have them say I am having the thought that this is the worst thing in the world I am having the
thought that I could not handle this because thoughts come and go and that comes from acceptance and
commitment therapy functional analysis makes it possible to specify where and when with what frequency
with what intensity and under what circumstances the anxious response is triggered so it’s
important that we help clients develop the ability to do functional analyses on their own so
when they start feeling anxious, they can stop and say okay where am I what’s going on how intense
Is it what are the circumstances, and they start really trying to figure out what causes this for
them so they can identify any common themes from their psychoeducation about cognitive distortions
and techniques to prevent those circumstances or mitigate them can be provided so if the client
knows that they get anxious before they go into a meeting with their boss and it’s usually a high
intensity of anxiety okay so we can educate them and help them identify what fears that may be related
to techniques to slow their breathing calm their stress reaction and help them figure out
times in the past when they’ve handled going in and talking to their boss and it really wasn’t
the end of the world you know there’s lots of different things we can do there for them there
but the first key and it gives them a lot of a huge sense of empowerment to start becoming
detectives in their own life and going okay now under what situations does this happen positive
Writing this was another really cool study each day for 30 days the experimental group and this
was high school-aged youth in China but you know the experimental group engaged in 20 minutes of
writing about positive emotions they felt that day so they’re writing about anything positive
that make them happy that made them enthusiastic give them hope whatever long-term expressive
writing positive emotions so after 30 days it appeared to help reduce test anxiety by helping
them develop insight and use positive emotion words so it got them out of the habit of using
the destruction and doom words and encouraged them to get in the habit of looking at the positive
things and being more optimistic it’s a really cool activity that clients can try it’s…The Market WeekSign Up For The Free Newsletter No nonsense, no spam, unsubscribe anytime You can unsubscribe at any time.

Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back! If you’re currently suffering from anxiety. Have you wondered why you have anxiety? Since when have you started to get nervous all the time? In some cases, anxiety can be caused by how you were raised as a child. Your upbringing may have had a significant impact on why you experienced so much anxiety. So here are seven signs of anxiety caused by your upbringing. #1 You are self-critical. Do you pick at your flaws or criticize yourself for no reason? You may be doing it because you have critical parents. When your parents overly focus on your flaws. You may also grow up only focusing on them. According to Iancu, Bodner, and Ben Zion. Self-criticism is highly related to social anxiety disorder. You may end up blaming yourself for things that are out of your control or not your fault. #2 You have low self-esteem. Do your parents always compare you to others? Does it make you feel inadequate? Growing up in an environment where you’re constantly compared to others can harm your self-esteem. You may feel bad about yourself for failing to meet your parent’s expectations. This low self-esteem can carry on through your life… …because of the constant fear of not being good enough. #3 You think negatively. Did your parents always tell you to prepare for the worst? If they constantly focus on the worst-case scenario. Their behaviors can probably affect your mindset. While it may be normal to recognize the worst-case scenario in each situation. It can eventually lead your mind to focus on only the negative. This form of repetitive and negative thinking can generate a lot of anxiety. #4 You fear being judged. Did your parents seem to have something negative to say about everything and everyone? Having judgmental parents can have a significant impact on you. Conditioned by judgmental parents at an early age. You may struggle with worry and fear of what others think about you. Their emphasis is on the opinion of others instead of on social initiatives and family sociability. This may lead to social anxiety. #5 You are overly cautious. Did your parents tend to constantly check on you when you’re not around them? If you have overprotective parents,
there’s a chance that you may be overly cautious. This is because having overprotective parents may condition you at a young age to be wary of everything. It can lead to having a certain worry and fear of things that are unknown to you. Although it can be beneficial to be overly cautious at times. It can also lead to a lot of anxiety. #6 You fear relationships. Do you find yourself scared about forming relationships? This fear may have stemmed from growing up in a separated family. Since you may fear that your current relationships will end up with the same outcome. Having neglectful parents could also cause you to fear relationships… …because it could make you think that your partner will neglect you in the same way. And #7 You doubt yourself. Have you ever said to yourself… What if I’m doing it wrong? Or am I making a mistake? Your parents’ constant criticism of your ability…can result in you developing constant self-doubt as you grow up. This will also cause you to have a higher risk of developing anxiety disorders in childhood. Do you relate to any of these signs? Let us know in the comments below!

This could manifest in an irrational fear that loved ones will
leave you, social anxiety, or a desire to please everyone around you to try and prevent them
from rejecting you. The fact that people
with BPD often struggle to maintain relationships
only adds to this fear. Five, unstable relationships. Do you face difficulty maintaining interpersonal relationships like friendships, sibling bonds,
or romantic relationships? It can be difficult for people with BPD to preserve relationships because they often idealize
or think very highly of and then romanticize someone for a while and then devalue distrust
or become disgusted with them. A 2016 study suggests
that some people with BPD react to relationship
stressors with impulsivity which generates instability
in relations as well. Six, impulsive decisions. While cycles of impulsive
decisions commonly occur in those with bipolar disorder
and other mood disorders, they’re also a sign of BPD. Examples of impulsive decisions
someone with BPD might make are substance abuse,
spending or gambling sprees, skipping work or
appointments, unprotected sex, binge eating, or reckless driving. Impulsive decisions are
a hidden sign of BPD because others may think this impulsivity comes from low impulse control or another mental disorder instead of BPD. And seven, disassociation. Finally, people with
borderline personality disorder may disassociate more frequently and for longer periods than typical functioning people. Disassociation is when thoughts or emotions enter your mind and you find yourself incapable
of focusing on your actions, instead operating on autopilot or watching yourself do things without feeling connected to your body. Disassociation is a hidden symptom of BPD because others may assume
someone who is disassociating is just tired or distracted. Disassociation can also
be a symptom of PTSD or dissociative identity
disorder, also known as DID. But if it occurs alongside
the other things, it’s likely a hidden sign of BPD. It’s important to remember that mental disorders
affect everyone differently. Not everyone experiences all the symptoms. You might also experience
symptoms not listed here. That’s why it’s so important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional with experience in personality disorders if you think you or someone
you love might have BPD. Have you or someone, you
know, been diagnosed with BPD? Are you now better equipped to look out for its hidden symptoms? Let us know in the comments below. If you found this video helpful, be sure to hit the like

Often anxiety is diagnosed or correctly identified after unnecessary assessment and diagnostic evaluation. This is due to the elevated level of somatic symptoms of anxiety disorder. Research has shown that untreated elevated levels of anxiety predispose people to other serious health problems. Therefore, with that said, the first step to seeking treatment is to talk to your medical provider to make sure that your symptoms are not due to other physical problems. Of course, If anxiety is diagnosed, a mental health professional can work with you to design the best treatment plan for you. Sadly, many people with anxiety disorder do not seek treatment because they are unaware that anxiety is treatable. As stated earlier, anxiety is among the most common psychiatric illnesses. It is distinguished by the degree of anxiety experienced by the client, the duration of the anxiety, the severity of the anxiety, and the behavioral manifestation seen in the client experiencing the anxiety. It is important, especially important to know that Anxiety ranges from acute state to chronic disorders and they are often associated with physical symptoms such as chest, pain, chest, tightness, weakness, and shortness of breath. In the future, we will explore the diverse types of anxieties that exist, which will include panic, disorder, Agoraphobia, Specific Phobia, Social Anxiety, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please call 911.

Is one more likely than
the other to take place? Number four, you have no clue if others can sense your anxiety. Do you worry about whether
Or can no other people tell when you’re feeling anxious? And then are you doubly
worried about how someone will react if they do find out
you’re having a panic attack? Since no people experience
anxiety the same way nor are any two situations the same, there’s no tangible way to tell
unless you tell someone that you’re not feeling well. If anything, your anxiety
is not as noticeable as you fear it to be. There are so many other restless, sweaty, awkward people in the world and everyone else is probably
too worried about themselves that they’re less likely to notice if you look a little
flushed or acted a little odd. Five, you can literally
worry yourself sick. Have you ever been so stressed
and worried that you felt like you might throw up or pass out? When you suffer from anxiety,
These severe reactions become normal which can put immense stress on your body over time. Mayo Clinic states that
symptoms such as headaches, heart palpitations, and
Gastrointestinal issues are common expressions of anxiety. Dealing with these over
an extended period of time can lead to complications such
as irritable bowel syndrome and other chronic disruptions
in the nervous system. Six, self-doubt slows you down socially. Do you long to be out and
about with your friends but your anxiety and doubt convince you to stay home instead? Socializing can be incredibly stressful for someone with anxiety, especially if you have
social anxiety disorder which is specific to
public or group settings. Between physical symptoms
and a racing mind, keeping up a conversation with
your friends can be tricky. Your brain interrupts with
intrusive thoughts and questions and you wonder if you’re doing it right. If you notice that you’re worrying about whether your anxiety makes
you come across as awkward or quiet, that’s okay. It’s good to be aware
of your effect on others but make sure you’re trying your best to be genuine and be you. Living in today’s society is
a lot of pressure already, so there’s no need to
double down on yourself. Seven, you find it hard to stay focused, you find
It is hard to stay focused. When your anxiety is bad, do
you struggle to concentrate? Like, when you must
reread a page in a book a couple of times over before you finally comprehend what you’re reading. Recent BBC research cites a 2011 study from the University of Notre Dame, which confirms that the
brain is designed to hold only so much information at once. If you’re taking up that
space with tons of what-ifs and worries, there won’t be much room left for anything else. Changing your thought patterns
won’t happen overnight but it’s certainly possible. It will likely take some trial and error to find what works for you
but practicing mindfulness, getting exercise, and avoiding multitasking are a few good places to start. And number eight, yes, you can have anxiety
about your anxiety. Have you ever heard of agoraphobia? The UK National Health
Service defines agoraphobia as a fear of being in
situations where escape might be difficult or that
help wouldn’t be available if things go wrong. Most people who suffer from this condition practice avoidance. Some might refuse to take
public transportation or be in crowded or open spaces, while others may not
leave their house at all. Avoidance aims to protect you from danger, panic, and even embarrassment. Did you relate to any of these scenarios? Tell us about it in the comments below. Anxiety is tough but so are you. If you have any other tips that
help you with your anxiety, share them in the comments below. If you found this video

The last thing they want
is to come off as awkward, fumbling, or boring. You’ve likely felt this way at some point throughout your life, whether it’s the desire
to fit in with friends or make a good impression
on a potential employer, with social anxiety however, this pressure to perform
feels constantly heavy and can lead to full-blown panic attacks when in social or
performance-based situations. Number six is feeling lonely, even when you’re surrounded by people. People with social anxiety
can share this feeling with those who battle depression and other mental illnesses as well. So, unfortunately, a lot
of people can relate to this isolating feeling. When social anxiety keeps you
from being your true self, it can be difficult to
feel included at all. It’s frustrating to be close to others, but not be able to connect
with them comfortably. If you’re struggling
to properly communicate and are extremely hesitant
to even start a conversation, that adds to your feelings of loneliness, even when you’re surrounded by others. Number seven, clenching your teeth and other physical discomforts. You feel shaky or lightheaded when faced with a social situation. Does your heart rate speed
up, or do your hands tremble? The stress that comes with social anxiety can manifest through physical symptoms. Many of the symptoms are
signs of nervousness, such as sweating, flushing,
and feeling shaky. According to the Mayo Clinic, you might also be dealing
with muscle tension, feeling that your mind has gone blank, or having trouble catching your breath. Number eight, obsessing over how you look. When you’re constantly worried about how others perceive you, you’re likely to be concerned
with how you look as well. You might have a distorted body image and think that you’re less
physically attractive. Your thoughts can flit from
your hair to your clothes or flaws in your skin, thinking
that it’s just all wrong. In an attempt to feel
comfortable in your skin, you might spend an inappropriate
amount of time and money on fixing your appearance, such as shopping for better clothes, getting high-end beauty
products, or going on diets if you think you’re overweight. And number nine, you
feel more like yourself around the people you’re comfortable with. You think you’re picky about
who you spend time with and triumph over shyness, conquering social anxiety disorder, Dr. Marie B. Stein and John R. Walker discuss behavior in children
called selective mutism. This is when a child
speaks and acts normally around select individuals,
but is completely silent around everyone else, or when
placed in certain situations, this is a more extreme example, but it shows how those with social anxiety are more likely to relax and open up around people they already know and trust. Do you or anyone you know resonate with any of these points
mentioned in this video? If you’re concerned about
social anxiety disorder, we encourage you to speak with
a mental health professional, they can help you overcome any fears or debilitating problems you might have. If you enjoyed watching this
