Mad or Sad - Anxiety
At some stage in our lives we all will have suffered a bout of
being anxious due to a bad moment. Missing a bus or late for an
appointment is enough to trigger uneasiness, which is quite a
normal reaction.
Prolonged anxiety which meddles with a person's everyday life
tells us that we are now dealing with a condition called
(anxiety disorder). Coping with excessive anxiety can be a
struggle but with the right medical advice and help then this
ailment which is associated with other psychiatric conditions
such as depression can be tamed. In the UK 1 in 10 people battle
to lead a normal life, the severity of anxiety powers is no
doubt a mighty force to contend with where the effects can turn
a persons life upside down.
Anxiety that flares up with no identifying reason behind the
cause has to be questioned. Strong/severe anxiety that tampers
or interferes with daily routines- activities is considered
abnormal.
Symptoms to look out for with (Physical Anxiety) is dry
mouth/diarrhoea/abdominal discomfort/breathlessness/fast
heartbeat/problem swallowing/dizzy spells/ tightening of the
chest. These are a result of when the brain sends out signals to
other parts of the body while at the same time releasing stress
hormones/adrenalin. Organs affected are lungs heart etc that are
now geared up to work faster.
The fear of going mad and lack of concentration are two serious
symptoms endured as well as insomnia and uncontrollable
outbursts of rage- anger if suffering from psychological
anxiety.
Medication and treatments like psychotherapy/ counselling and
more are available.
Anxiety is treatable so please if you or someone close is having
a bad time trying to cope with any of the symptons mentioned
earlier then make an appointment to speak with your doctor.
Mad or sad
Some people who suffer from anxiety may appear to look and do
things a little differently to which an outsider may find funny,
depending on the outsider of course. Because of their lack of
understanding on this condition they find it hilarious to poke
fun and make nasty remarks towards the person suffering from
this condition causing more misery for the sufferer.
Yes I would say sufferers are mad, mad with the ignoramuses who
continue to add to their torment. And saddened furthermore at
how their tomentors proudly show their ignorance behind the
meaning of the word compassion.
