HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR ANXIETY
Anxiety is a normal reaction
to stressful situations. But in some cases, it becomes excessive and can cause
sufferers to dread everyday situations.
This type of steady, all-over
anxiety is called Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Other anxiety-related
disorders include panic attacks—severe episodes of anxiety which happen in
response to specific triggers—and obsessive compulsive disorder , which is
marked by persistent invasive thoughts or compulsions to carry out specific
behaviors (such as hand-washing).
Anxiety so frequently
co-occurs with depression that the two are thought to be twin faces of one
disorder. Like depression, it strikes twice as many females as males.
Generally, anxiety arises
first, often during childhood. Evidence suggests that both biology
and environment can contribute to the disorder. Some people may have a
genetic predisposition to anxiety; however, this does not make development of
the condition inevitable. Early traumatic experiences can also reset the
body’s normal fear-processing system so that it is hyper-reactive
to stress.
The exaggerated worries and
expectations of negative outcomes in unknown situations that typify anxiety are
often accompanied by physical symptoms. These include muscle tension,
headaches, stomach cramps, and frequent urination. Behavioral therapies, with
or without medication to control symptoms, have proved highly effective
against anxiety, especially in children.
