What is it?

The condition is characterised by excessive worry about a specific issue where the person knows that the worry is excessive and disproportionate. The condition often makes it difficult to relax or to get a good night's sleep. Amongst the common physical symptoms are trembling, muscle tension, headaches, hot flushes or being startled easily. Increased irritability is a common symptom as well..

Symptoms?

It depends on the type of anxiety disorder, but general symptoms include:
  • Feelings of panic, fear, and uneasiness
  • Problems sleeping
  • Cold or sweaty hands or feet
  • Shortness of breath
  • Heart palpitations
  • Not being able to be still and calm
  • Dry mouth
  • Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
  • Nausea
  • Muscle tension
  • Dizziness

What causes it?

Anxiety, like depression doesn't have a single cause. Like other brain illnesses, anxiety disorders may be caused by problems in the functioning of brain circuits that regulate fear and other emotions. Most likely it’s caused by a combination of factors that may include:
  • Family history of anxiety
  • Brain Chemistry
  •  Life events and stressors (academic, personal, or trauma)
  •  Environmental factors (like a change of seasons)

I am happy to share with you that other countries implement a good mental help already. Since depression and suicidal rates are becoming high in rate, they also acknowledge the help that is possible to be the help. Youth nowadays have high risk of this anxiety disorder. The factors can be their peers, their educational society, the insecurities they have and even heart aches that they cannot handle, it can also be caused because of family problem. We should be observant enough to guide our kids and help them accordingly.
