Anxiety disorders, also known as anxiety neurosis, are a relatively common type of neurological disorder. The causes of anxiety disorders are not well understood and may be closely related to the quality of the individual and the environment in which he or she lives. Anxiety disorders are most common in people between the ages of 45 and 55, and the number of women suffering from anxiety disorders is significantly higher than that of men, about twice as many as men. As the name implies, the main manifestation of anxiety disorders is the presence of excessive anxiety in the patient. Patients are often tense and anxious, and they also experience uncomfortable symptoms in many parts of the body. Anxiety disorders are often divided into two categories: chronic anxiety and acute anxiety. Chronic anxiety, also known as generalized anxiety, is the most common type of anxiety disorder. Patients are often nervous and worried for no reason, irritable, fearful and fidgety, sensitive to changes in the external environment, and unable to concentrate. They always think that something bad is going to happen to them in the future, but they can’t tell themselves exactly what is going to happen. Patients with anxiety disorders are also usually accompanied by significant physical discomfort, such as poor sleep, difficulty sleeping, frequent panic attacks, chest tightness, feeling out of breath, bouts of sweating, inexplicable shaking of the hands, soreness and numbness in the neck and shoulders, and frequent desire to go to the bathroom to relieve themselves of urine. Acute anxiety, also called panic attack or panic disorder, is very characteristic. Patients often feel a sudden and extreme fear, dread, nervousness and anxiety without any external stimulating factors, and the degree of this anxiety and nervousness is relatively high, and many patients feel that some kind of disaster is coming and they are in danger; or they worry that they will lose control and even have The feeling of imminent death (near death). Most of them also have obvious chest tightness, panic, difficulty breathing, dizziness, numbness and other physical discomfort. Therefore, many patients with panic disorder often call 120 for emergency medical assistance or are admitted to the emergency department of a hospital by their family members, but no obvious abnormalities are found after various tests of the patient’s body in the hospital. The duration of acute anxiety is often short, usually lasting a few minutes or tens of minutes, and usually no more than an hour. However, it can be followed by a sudden reoccurrence shortly afterwards. Patients can clearly experience the painful experience of extreme stress throughout the attack, so many people with acute anxiety disorder worry about the reoccurrence of these painful feelings during the intervals between attacks. In the long run, people with acute anxiety disorders also suffer from chronic anxiety. The diagnosis of anxiety must be made carefully because many physical illnesses such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, hyperthyroidism, mitral valve prolapse, epilepsy, and hypoglycemia have manifestations similar to those of anxiety disorders. These physical disorders must be ruled out before anxiety disorders can be considered. Treatment of anxiety disorders is mainly medication and psychotherapy. Medication has the advantages of being safe, effective, convenient, and having few side effects. Psychotherapy can avoid the adverse effects of taking medication, but it is time-consuming and difficult for many patients to adhere to. Of course, in most cases, medication with psychotherapy is more effective in treating anxiety disorders.
