subject: Anxiety Disorders by:Harlan Krissoff [print this page] If you have ever had an anxiety or panic attack you may we wondering why you and what you did to bring this on yourself.
There are many different camps as to the causes of anxiety disorders and how to treat them. It's like that old game where you make a circle and tell something to someone. By the time it gets back to that person it has changed, mutated and taken on a life of it's own.
Many people feel that it is repressed emotions as many people with repressed emotions develop anxiety but not every one with anxiety has repressed emotions.
Many people in the medical community feel that anxiety disorders are the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. Doctors prescribe anti-depressents and tranquilizers like Valium and hope that it will cause the problem to go away. However there are really no tests that can be done to verify a chemical imbalance.
There are people who have anxiety attacks in some situations like being in a plane or going to the barber, who can work in stressful situations like being a fireman and the stress doesn't affect them so you have to wonder if that theory holds water.
So that may explain why many people who have anxiety attacks feel like the medication does not help them.
Many anxiety disorders are a result of one bad thing happening to someone. They get very stressed out and fear that if they repeat that particular situation it will happen to them again. It is possible that it is all in the questions they tell themselves.
There is a method where thru exercise, diet and mental questions, you can solve your anxiety problems and maybe even get yourself all the drugs.
