subject: Ways A Person Can Cope With Anxiety Disorder [print this page] Do you suffer from feelings of unease? Have they lasted a lot longer than they usually do, and do they seem to come out of nowhere? If so you may be suffering from problematic anxiety, or anxiety disorder.
Anxiety can become chronic or problematic, often, when there's an underlying mental health problem like depression. When anxiety becomes excessive, it lasts longer than normal and starts interfering with everyday life.
You can also get some physical symptoms if you are suffering from an anxiety disorder. Possible symptoms include chest pains, palpitations, diarrhea, and shaking among others.
You need to be seen by your doctor if you have any of those symptoms, or if you feel you have anxiety. Your doctor can tell you how to treat your condition so that you don't get worse. Here are some of the treatments that are available for anxiety:
One is regular exercise. This will make you feel much calmer. Even if it is just walking or jogging for thirty minutes in the morning each day, you'll find that your anxiety will diminish and likely finally disappear.
Take medication as prescribed by your physician. Your physician knows when your anxiety may be helped with some medication. Common prescriptions include antidepressants. You'll feel less anxious and eventually you will start to recover. Always take the medications prescribed by your doctor in the correct dosage. If you experience side effects tell your doctor; do not stop taking the medication unless your doctor recommends you do so.
Deep breathing exercises are also a huge help. Obviously this is one of the easiest and quickest ways to lessen anxiety. By taking deep slow breaths you relax your body and mind and increase the oxygen in your body. This can help restore chemical balance.
If you follow these instructions regularly, you can expect that your anxiety will resolve. You don't have to live an anxious, miserable life.
