“I played the cards that were dealt to me;
I knew I couldn’t complain. Life, in fact was supposedly mean to be lived in
JUST the way ‘we’ CHOSE to PLAY!
Fated or destined, I do not know; but my
thoughts kept coming back; slowly then faster, persistent yet insistent; these
thoughts of mine they threw me off life’s line.”

Coming to terms with this confusion and
uncertainty of my own thoughts can sometimes be a very difficult task to grip
over. Very often, it is essential to visit a professional therapist who can
help you or give you some sort of recommendation regarding your health.

Dealing with anxiety is fairly difficult as
it has a lot of its symptoms overlapping with other mental health conditions, in most cases depression. It is very important to identify and differentiate the primary
symptoms between the two mental health problems: anxiety and depression.

While those people suffering from anxiety
are often concerned and excessively worried about events that will happen in
the future; people suffering from depression are immensely sad about events
that may or may not take place in the future and also events that have already
taken place in the past. People who suffer from depression are usually listless
and have a lack of belief that any thing positive can occur.

People suffering from either anxiety or
depression are most often suffering from the other condition as well, to some
degree. It is very difficult to tell apart the two from each other, because
they can happen simultaneously one after the other.

Of course, there are bound to be physical
symptoms associated with anxiety. A person could feel drained or excessively
tired (fatigued). Some of the most common physical symptoms associated are:
symptoms associated with anxiety. A person could feel drained or excessively
tired (fatigued). Some of the most common physical symptoms associated are:
- Fast heart rate,
hyperventilation, bowel issues and other energy causing symptoms
- Fight or flight response
symptoms such as sweating, shaking or even feeling the need to run or just
move - Physical symptoms that resemble
health disorders, especially when accompanied with health concerns.
One of the main reasons anxiety is so
similar to depression is because they both cause serious changes in
neurotransmitter functions, especially in your serotonin level. Serotonin is
the chemical nerve that cells produce, which send signals between your nerve
cells.

Although they impact every part of your
body, (from your emotions to your motor skills) this chemical is considered the
natural mood stabiliser and helps in sleeping, eating and digesting. In fact,
serotonin also helps reduce anxiety and depression besides the many other
benefits it offers.

It is very important to be as transparent
and honest about the thoughts that you have in order to receive the best
possible treatment. While you may have just a few thoughts, which are
disturbing, there are many people who have chronic anxiety disorders and often
find themselves in situations thinking about suicide and thoughts of homicide.

So, what next – we know what is anxiety,
but what are anxiety attacks?
but what are anxiety attacks?
Anxiety is just an emotion interfering in
life, but anxiety disorders are real, serious, medical conditions that are
overwhelming, persistent and seemingly uncontrollable.
There are many different
types of anxiety disorders such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic
Attacks and Panic Disorders, Social Anxiety Disorder, Agoraphobia, Separation
Anxiety, Specific Phobias and Selective Mutism.

In addition to all of the above-mentioned

disorder (PTSD) are very closely associated.

The bottom line is that today’s times have
drastically changed. We live in a far more dynamic and challenging yet
empowered society than we have ever before. Stress levels are at its highest
peak and while just try to brush away these stressors, even with maladaptive,
overactive defence mechanism we are chained down to anxiety and its ill
effects.

Anxiety is extremely subjective as every
individual is different, but the reality is uniform and that is that it is the
same state of worry, unease, fear, apprehension, discomfort and physical
symptoms such as headaches, heart palpitations, trembling, sweating, etc.

India is yet at its nascent stages and
still needs to address anxiety disorders and create awareness among people of
every age; all population to do something about it if they are suffering from
it or know someone who needs help. There yet needs to be a lot of focused research
on the cultural and social aspects to mental health care.
