In this video, we\r\nwill be discussing generalized anxiety disorder,\u00a0\u00a0 as well as a few key specific anxiety disorders.\r\nAt the end of the video, I’m going to give you guys a little quiz to test your knowledge\r\nof some of the key points I’ll be covering,\u00a0\u00a0 so stay tuned for that. And if you\r\nhave our Level Up RN Psychiatric Mental Health\u00a0\u00a0 Nursing Flashcards, I am just starting\r\nin the disorder section of this deck.\u00a0 Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time and\r\nthat is a normal thing.\r\n\r\nHowever, with generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD, an individual will have\r\npersistent and excessive worrying that will cause significant physical and\/or psychological\r\nsymptoms. Females are more likely than males to experience a generalized anxiety disorder, and\r\nsymptoms include excessive anxiety and worry that lasts for more than six months, as well\r\nas symptoms such as fatigue, restlessness,\u00a0\u00a0 irritability, muscle tension, as well as insomnia.\r\nIn terms of diagnosis, it’s important to rule out any underlying disorders, such as hyperthyroidism.\r\nTreatment can include talk therapy, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT. I covered\r\nCBT in a previous video in this playlist,\u00a0\u00a0 so if you need a review of that therapy then\r\ndefinitely check that out. Medications used in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder\r\ninclude SSRIs, SSNRIs, as well as benzodiazepines, and atypical anxiolytics such as buspirone.\r\nIn terms of nursing care, we want to teach our patient how to recognize the\r\nsigns of escalating anxiety and teach them interventions to help decrease their\r\nanxiety, such as deep breathing and exercise.\u00a0\u00a0 It should be noted, however, that if a patient is\r\nexperiencing severe or panic-level anxiety, then problem-solving is not going to be possible and\r\nour nursing care should be focused on the patient’s safety as well as their physical needs.\r\nMoving on to specific anxiety disorders now.\r\n\r\nTwo specific anxiety\r\ndisorders that I would be familiar with include social anxiety disorder and agoraphobia. With\r\nsocial anxiety disorder, an individual will experience anxiety related to social situations\r\ndue to fear of humiliation or rejection.\u00a0\u00a0 Agoraphobia translates to fear of the marketplace,\r\nand an individual with agoraphobia will experience anxiety related to public transportation,\r\ncrowds of people, and being outside the home.\u00a0\u00a0 Some patients have anxiety that is produced by\r\na specific object or situation. For example,\u00a0\u00a0 arachnophobia is the fear of spiders and\r\nclaustrophobia is the fear of confined spaces.\u00a0\u00a0 Treatment of specific anxiety disorders can\r\ninclude behavioral therapy, such as systematic desensitization and anti-anxiety medications,\r\nwhich we covered earlier in this video.\u00a0 All right, it’s quiz time. Are you guys\r\nready? Question number one. Is generalized anxiety disorder more common in females or\r\nmales? The answer is females. Question number two. Name one or more drug classes that are\r\nused to treat generalized anxiety disorder.\u00a0\u00a0 All right, if you said SSRIs, SSNRIs,\r\nbenzodiazepines, or atypical anxiolytics,\u00a0\u00a0 such as buspirone, then you are right.\r\nQuestion number three.\r\n\r\nWhat do you call anxiety that is produced by fear of\r\npublic crowds and being outside the home?\u00a0\u00a0 The answer is agoraphobia.\r\nAll right, that is it for this video. I hope you found it helpful.\r\nTake care and good luck with studying.\u00a0\u00a0 Two specific anxiety disorders\r\nthat I would be familiar with.\r\n<h3 style=\"color: blue;\"><strong><em>mR. <strong>M<\/strong><sub>\u2205<\/sub>c<sup>\u2205<\/sup>!<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>,<\/em><\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/on.fb.me\/1bBcgfu\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Courier New; font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #0000cc;\">http:\/\/<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"color: #ff00cc;\">myweb<\/span><span style=\"color: #990099; font-size: large;\">.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9966;\">ecomplanet<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"color: #990099; font-size: large;\">.<\/span><span style=\"color: #33ff00;\">com<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #0000cc;\">\/<\/span><span style=\"color: #cc9933; font-size: large; background-color: #66ffff;\"><em>RALE5393<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a>)<\/h3>\r\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/b?_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=3sss3-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=e9b113b7be64ea1832997bb5c717e582&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;node=283155\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">100 Hot Books<\/a><\/center><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/b?_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=3sss3-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=5f7f04b68b05d11ccfcb2df607b0af04&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;node=565108\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Computers Laptops<\/a><\/center><center><\/center><center><a href=\"https:\/\/jvz4.com\/c\/335985\/319641\">Explaindio Agency Edition<\/a> FREE Training How to Create Explainer Videos &amp; SELL or RENT them!
