My friend who is a top boss of a multinational company turns up very frequently at my house and spares a few moments with me. His son is prosecuting Bachelor of Technology in a renowned Engineering college in Bangalore, a very good student, very quiet and amiable, topper all the time but in a dilemma as he has to telephone his father four times a day. My friend is always anxious regarding his son and he is in apprehension lest his son should have to be in problem a any time. All the time he is anxious to think if something untoward happens to his son and he has to hear of it. I advise him to visit a doctor who can offer him the remedy. According to me, just a lay man, he has been suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder which has stolen the mental peace forcibly from him. All the time he Goes Panicky.
It is known to all that Anxiety is a common psychiatric problem prevalent almost everyone to some extent. It is nothing but an anticipation regarding some danger that may come. But there is difference between anxiety and apprehension or fear. Fear may be assumed but Anxiety comes from no where. Anxiety causes tremendous problem and makes the sufferer much distressed. As a result the sufferer fails to do anything after his/ her capability. He/ She Goes Panicky all the while.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a chronic problem that follows panic attacks causing much problem. Panic Disorder also follows a chronic course and may be without Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Panic Attack lasts for a few minutes and scourges the sufferer indiscriminately.
Phobic Disorder is a fear of something that is exclusively specific. The Phobic person is bound to avoid the thing that he/ she fears most. The patient knows quite well that the Fear is Irrational but he/ she has no other way than be scared. The patient tries hard to curb the distress but all the time fails. Phobias are of three types, General Phobia, Agoraphobia and Social Phobia as a result the patient Goes Panicky.
According to Health Fitness Tips the treatment of Anxiety Disorder is multi- modal. But according to some experts Behavioral Therapy proves fruitful to maximum number of patients.
