Anxiety or sometimes termed as worry or angst, is a physiological and psychological state that is characterized as cognitive, somatic, behavioral and emotional components of an individual.
It is actually a displeasing feeling of concern and fear.
It is considered to be normal when a person only feels anxious due to a stressor.
However, when it becomes a bit excessive, it may then be classified as a disorder.
The common symptoms of anxiety do include an unrealistic view of problems, being edgy or restlessness, excessive, ongoing worry and tension, irritability, difficulty in concentrating, nausea, headaches, tiredness, trembling and/or trouble falling asleep.
There symptoms are usually triggered when a person is faced by too much stress or faced by something a person is so afraid of.
It can be an exam, job interview, talking in a large crowd, a dog, traveling for the first time or anything that a person may find so stressful.
Now, the cause of anxiety is not really fully known but a number of factors have already been identified to contribute to its development.
One factor would be genetics.
It is said to be hereditary and some research also suggests that family history plays a good part in increasing the chance that a person will also develop anxiety.
Another factor would be the environment where the person resides.
Traumatic or stressful events that happen in a certain place can usually trigger anxiety disorder.
This is because once the person is exposed to that kind of event again, it will remind the person how traumatic or stressful the event was; thus, the anxiety.
Lastly, brain chemistry can also be a factor of this disorder.
If the neurotransmitters in the brain is having abnormal levels, a person will, most often than not, develop the disorder.
This is because the neurotransmitters are the special chemical messengers that help move information from the nerve cell to another.
If the levels become abnormal, messages cannot get through the brain properly and can alter the brains reactions to certain situations that may lead to anxiety.
To help lessen the chances of having to develop this disorder, you must stay away from addictive substances.
Such substances do include alcohol, nicotine and caffeine (coffee, chocolate, cola and tea).
This is because these substances will just worsen the anxiety of a person.
Also, exercise regularly and eat a healthy and balanced diet.
Then, learn to practice stress management.
One way to do that is to enroll in yoga or do some meditation.
Lastly, before taking any over the counter medications, always consult your physician first.
