Dr. E. A. Varalakshmi, Thursday, November 7, 2019

WHAT IS ANXIETY?

At its core, anxiety is simply the body's reaction to stressful, dangerous, or unfamiliar situations. It's the sense of uneasiness, distress, or dread you feel before a significant event. Worrying about a job interview or stressing out over a test is healthy, normal anxiety - this kind of anxiety encourages us to properly prepare for situations we're uneasy about, and helps us stay alert and aware.


WHEN DOES ANXIETY BECOME A DISORDER?

When normal anxiety becomes irrational and begins to recur and interfere with daily life, it is classified as a disorder. Anxiety disorders keep people from sleeping, concentrating, talking to others, or even leaving their home. Anxiety that may need treatment is often irrational, overwhelming, and disproportionate to the situation. It makes sufferers feel as though they have no control of their feelings, and it can involve serious physical symptoms like headaches, nausea, or trembling.


HOW TO ALLEVIATE MILD ANXIETY?

These are some possible best cures for anxiety and to some extent may give anxiety relief in mild cases such as getting caught in traffic jam etc.:

  • Laugh: Laughing and smiling frequently have been proven by science to reduce your stress levels, making you less prone to anxiety.
  • Indulge in Hobbies: Take a break and indulge in a favourite hobby such a s listing to music. Listening to music each day can help overcome anxiety and improve overall health.
  • Completely Disconnect: Unplug communication devices, pull up that chair, kick your feet up and do nothing. However, completely disconnect only when it is doable and make sure that people who rely on you know that you will be unreachable during that time.
  • Meditate: Scientists have discovered that meditating increases grey matter in the brain, which makes it easy for us to cope with stress. Scientists have also carried out various studies on meditation’s effects on stress and anxiety disorders, with the outcome almost always positive.
  • Take Omega-3 and Vitamin B: Anxiety affects our entire mind and body; therefore, the recovery should be of both the mind and body. To give them the nutrients they need, try eating foods rich in omega-3 and vitamin B. Studies have linked vitamin B with good mental health, and omega-3s may help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

If the stress is debilitating and affecting your daily routines and life, it is essential to contact a doctor as soon as possible to rule out any serious case of anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorder may need extensive treatment and therapy.
