Last time we discussed Prejudice, and discrimination\r\naround mental illness, and how we can fight stigma and support individuals with mental\r\nillness. If you have not watched the last video already,\r\nplease endeavor to do so, in other 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\r\nof all psychiatric illnesses. It is a mental health diagnosis that is characterized\r\nby feelings of worry, apprehension, and intense fear that are strong enough to interrupt one\u2019s\r\ndaily activities. I wanted to discuss anxiety today because\r\nmany people are unaware that anxiety can be a mental health disorder that requires\r\nprofessional intervention. Of course, Anxiety is a normal human emotion. However, there are different levels of anxiety\r\ndisorders there is; Mild, moderate, and severe levels, and then there is panic disorder.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMild and moderate levels of anxiety are\r\nnormal levels actually, these two can be motivational (For instance, if you have an upcoming exam,\r\nthis is the type of anxiety that motivates one to study harder to be successful\r\non the exam), (In the mild level of anxiety: vital signs are normal, however, there are often\r\nincreased awareness of one\u2019s surroundings; in the moderate level of anxiety, there is\r\nmild increase in heart rate, a moderate increase in muscle tone, a subjective feeling of worry,\r\nor apprehension and narrowed perception); then we have the severe level of anxiety and Panic\r\ndisorder these two levels are considered pathological, which means they are abnormal. The severe level of anxiety causes the pupils\r\nto dilate, diaphoresis, increased muscle rigidity, causes urinary frequency, diarrhea, and sweating\r\nprofusely. Panic disorder on the other hand causes\r\nsignificantly increased symptoms. However, today, we\u2019ll be focusing on the\r\nmild, moderate, and severe levels of anxiety. In our future series, we will address the\r\ndifferent types of anxiety which will include panic disorder. Anxiety is considered pathological\r\n\u2022 When it is disproportionate to events, \u2022 When it is sustained over a long period\r\nof time \u2022 When it impairs one\u2019s function\r\n\u2022 And when it is unrelated to any identifiable event or situation in a person\u2019s\r\nlife.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis type of anxiety interferes with perceptions,\r\nmemory, judgment, and motor responses, so they require professional treatment and therapeutic\r\nintervention. Initially, anxiety present as several physical\r\nillness states. People experiencing anxiety may complain of,\r\nchest pain, heart palpitation, sweating, and even feel as if they’re about to have a heart\r\nattack. Of course, we want to make sure that the Individual\r\ngets proper work up, to rule out cardiac-related issues or other possible causes of their symptoms.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ShopMonopoly.com\/offer\/3143\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/Y85ht7Q\/OIP-30.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nOften, anxiety is diagnosed or correctly\r\nidentified after unnecessary assessment and diagnostic evaluation, this is due to the\r\nhigh level of somatic symptoms of anxiety disorder. Research has shown that untreated high levels\r\nof anxiety predispose people to other serious health problems; therefore, with that said,\r\nthe first step to seeking treatment is to talk to your medical provider to make sure\r\nthat your symptoms are not due to other physical problems. Of course, If anxiety is diagnosed, a mental\r\nhealth professional can work with you to design the best treatment plan for you. Sadly, many people with anxiety disorder do\r\nnot seek treatment, because they are unaware that anxiety is treatable.\r\nAs stated earlier, anxiety is among the most common psychiatric illnesses, it is distinguished\r\nby the degree of anxiety experienced by the client, the duration of the anxiety, the severity\r\nof the anxiety and the behavioral manifestation seen in the client experiencing the anxiety.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIt is important very important to know that\r\nAnxiety ranges from acute state to chronic disorders and they are often associated with\r\nphysical symptoms such as chest pain, chest tightness, weakness, and shortness of breath)\r\nIn the future, we will explore the different types of anxieties that exist, which will\r\ninclude: panic disorder \u2022 Agoraphobia \u2022 Specific Phobia \u2022 Social Anxiety \u2022 and Generalized\r\nAnxiety Disorder\r\nIf you or someone you know is experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please\r\ncall 911, you can also call the crisis line number (866-903-3787) or go to the nearest\r\nemergency room for treatment.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nOur email address is located in the description\r\nplease feel free to send us your general questions.
