Why has anxiety increased in so many people in just a few years?
I’ve been doing a lot of research to find an answer for question but I can’t find a specific answer for this one question so, I’ll be telling you the information I’ve taken in along the way of researching this question. There are a few main things I’ve picked up on throughout the research part of this project some of these things are, the causes of anxiety, how it can effect you if don’t get help, what you can do to get help, and the types of anxiety.
Some of the causes of anxiety are OCD, PTSD, GAD, you’re probably wondering what these 3 are so let me tell you. OCD, OCD stands for obsessive-compulsive disorder, so what is OCD you might be wondering, well OCD is a disorder where people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, obsessions and behaviors that make them do something over and over until it’s perfect. PTSD, PTSD is another mental disorder that stands for post-traumatic stress disorder, what is PTSD? Well PTSD is a mental disorder that is triggered by a terrifying situation that you have either witnessed or that has happened to you. And finally GAD, GAD stands for generalized anxiety disorder, what is it? Well GAD is when you get uncontrollable worry about something small or big, you can get panic attacks/anxiety attacks and not being able to calm yourself down.
Ok so I talked about what can happen if you don’t get help but now let me tell you what you can do to get help, there are many different things you can do to help but 2 of the main things are therapy and medications. Therapy is a great way to help if you have anxiety, it always depends on how serious you case is but usually its does really work, therapists have studied for many years and have been trained to help in situations where people have a serious anxiety disorder. Another way to help is medication, there are many different types of medications out there for anxiety but the 3 most common ones are antidepressants, anti-anxiety, and beta-blockers. But also don’t forget it’s different for every person.
So I told you about the causes of anxiety, what it can do if you don’t get help, how you can get help and finally I’m going to tell you the different types of anxiety there is out there. There are many types of anxiety disorders but I’ll only be naming a few of them for example: social anxiety, separation anxiety, panic disorder, and general anxiety disorder. These 4 are 4 of the many types of anxiety disorders out there and it is not easy to live with it so don’t forget if you see someone having an anxiety attack don’t make fun of them and don’t say rude things about them, try to help them out and if not the just go along with your day.
