With anxiety, the intensity, duration, and frequency of the worry are disproportionate to the issue, and it is often to a degree that disrupts or impairs normal physical and psychological functioning. Anxiety is often accompanied by mild to moderate depression as well as a number of physical symptoms including muscle tension, increased blood pressure, gastrointestinal discomfort, fatigue, insomnia, and irritability. Anxiety is believed to affect about 15% of the adults in the United States (an estimated 19 million adult Americans), thus making it more common than any other category of mental health disorders.
In the field of psychology, anxiety is broken down into five categories of disorders:
* Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
* Panic Disorder
* Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
* Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
* Phobias – either Social or Specific1
Give all of this a look and remember there is no magic pill to correct it, but a change is diet, exercise, and perhaps some supplements to support your body and mind!!!
BEST OF LUCK!
