Anxiety is quite normal for people.
It is a normal response of the body to a perceived threat or to a stressful event.
It is but the body's "warning system".
All people worry, even about simple and small things like what to wear for an interview, an important presentation, or they become anxious for big days like weddings.
Yes, anxiety is a natural body response to stress, but sometimes it could go out of hand.
Since anxiety is defined as the feeling of impending doom, in excess though, it could be deadly.
Literally.
Having panic attacks could mean the death of your personal, social or professional life, but in worst cases, you could fall dead.
Anxiety attacks impede your everyday life.
For example, you are about to do a presentation which could determine your promotion, but even before starting, you start to feel your heart racing, your breathing becomes ragged, and you sweat like crazy.
Once this happens, you feel as if you couldn't go on with your work any longer.
Thus, your confidence is lowered and you have failed to do a good presentation.
Then you would have no promotion whatsoever.
How will you be able to go on with your life? There are many ways and means to treat anxiety.
If you suffer from excessive anxiety, then you must first learn all that you can about your condition before taking the necessary steps to stop it.
You can treat it through several treatments such as hypnotherapy, individual or group therapy, and anti-anxiety medications.
These are the most commonly used treatments.
Yes, even medications are prescribed for those with mild anxiety.
But anxiolytic medications should be the last resort.
People choose this treatment because it provides immediate relief other than just by those age-old techniques like deep breathing or visualization.
These treatments may be in some ways effective, but they do cost a pretty penny.
Sessions with a psychiatrist will be expensive, as well as the anti-anxiety medications.
