Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Symptoms
> Talk about generalized anxiety disorder
and how that differs from a panic attack, so what are the differences? > The worrier
— okay — The client is not a warrior worrier but their warriors as well, the constant
worrier. That’s… so we talked the last segment about how much panic
attack and panic disorder has to do with the physiological the cardiorespiratory
system, the worrier may be perfectly come from here down. — okay — up here what if, what if, what if,
ain’t quite a lady explained if it’s generalized anxiety…
I don’t think of the
the language it’s just kind of all the time… and sometimes not very situational. It’s not about when one thing is really going wrong in your life and you get
anxious and it’s sustained because over time that situation has to resolve
itself — right — you’re in a crisis in your relationship one of your kids is sick
you’re you know things go on in our lives where yes our anxiety elevates our
adrenaline sort of rushes to kind of help rescue us and channel us and direct
we and we don’t always calm down that’s very different from a panic attack for
example but it does have that 20 minutes…

You know like 20 minutes sequence to it,
but when we’re in a state of anxiety all the time people are restless they can’t
sleep they’re overly medicated because the world is a dangerous place. > And
there are so many symptoms, we do have a graphic that shows some of those signs
and symptoms of anxiety and I can relate to a few of these so well. And like you
mentioned it’s it’s almost a voice in your head that you can’t quiet, so
easily. Can you talk a little bit about these signs and symptoms? > Well this list
is not serve different from the last list we looked at in the last segment. exactly I actually… it’s almost the same except for me either this was broken up for
some reason, but these are all the symptoms of the panic attack except
you’re not having them at that high level and you don’t have that cluster
for that I mentioned, but you know we talked about feeling weak or tired
problem sleeping I mentioned just a few minutes ago they’re all there but
they’re just there at kind of a low level…
so maybe your heart’s being just
a little more quickly particularly at certain times of the day than you know
somebody else is how it would be or maybe you’re just more prone to perspire
sleep disturbance is very very common, but the first one is what it feels like
I’m nervous, I might irritable I’m on the edge…
