Anxiety is a mental health problem

Anxiety is a reaction of human nature. It happens to all kinds of people. Anxiety is not a problem in itself. It's a worry or stress that happens to everyone. But the situation after anxiety and stress starts affecting the daily life is called anxiety disorder. This falls under mental health problems.

Everyone has worries about home, behavior, relationship and career. But for a long time, life becomes uncomfortable, one feels insecure and life becomes difficult. If your career and responsibilities are not as expected, and if you think too much, can't perform well in some activities as expected, then you have anxiety problem or anxiety disorder.

Which may happen without anyone knowing

It can happen to anyone at any age. It starts especially from the teenage stage and the age of children, at that time they are not able to recognize it.

Apart from that, youth and old age can also go through this problem. According to various studies, this problem is seen in 17 percent once in a period of life.

A sign of anxiety

People themselves experience this problem. Something is being done according to one's feelings, thinking about what will happen in that work and how it will happen is always creating tension in the mind.

Whenever they feel insecure, they can feel as if they are not at risk anymore. For example, it is like being in a hurry, it is like being panicked.

Insomnia, restlessness, tension, increased bloating, stomach discomfort, headache, feeling like suffocation when sitting in one place. It is like having to urinate frequently.

All these symptoms do not appear at the same time, some people may have some symptoms.

Effects of anxiety

Anxiety disorders are a group of symptoms. It lasts for a certain period. Its effect lasts for more than a month.

Temporary fear

When the exam comes, you have not read anything or you can write everything even after reading, stress like having to communicate with a new person, if you have to face an interview about a job, you can see the problem of anxiety. But this is temporary. It gradually decreases with nature and time.

Similar to other diseases

The symptoms of this problem may be similar to other diseases. Therefore, the right treatment cannot be given at the right time. People with anemia, thyroid, heart disease also have symptoms such as heart palpitations, difficulty in breathing, shortness of breath, and lack of sleep.

Therefore, to identify whether it is anxiety or other diseases, we can say whether it is a psychological problem or a physical problem only by communicating with the patient, physical examination, and understanding his behavior in the past.

Because of anxiety

If the child has to leave or lose his parents, if there is a quarrel in the family, if the school studies are not good, if he has to sit under someone's control, this kind of mental disorder can occur in the child.

In the same way, if there is no success as expected in adults, if there is any kind of loss, if there is an illness, if there is a problem in the relationship, if there is a shortage, then the problem of anxiety may arise. Love, separation, divorce, untimely death of a relative, long-term illness also shows this problem. In old age, insecurity, unrest, pain of illness etc. leads to a state of anxiety.

Healing occurs with the right counseling and support

Anxiety cannot be recognized and treated on its own, and it is difficult to heal on its own. But people who are close to them can give advice on how to manage stress. By understanding his problem and giving proper counseling, filling him with enthusiasm, and maintaining his enthusiasm, he can get rid of such a problem.

If the condition persists even with normal care and support, it is advisable to see a counselor. Psychiatrists can look at the situation and find a solution to this kind of problem through counseling or medication.

Free medicine

If you have to take medicine, the government also distributes anxiety disorder medicine free of charge. When this disease is identified, the medicine can be taken on the advice of a skilled consultant and psychiatrist. Its medicine is given for a certain period depending on the condition of the patient. Common side effects of the drug may be seen. Medicines should be taken for 9 to 12 months and regular follow-up should be done.

Then it gets complicated

When a person shows symptoms of anxiety, proper counseling or treatment should be sought. If the treatment is not done, then the situation becomes complicated. A person who has nothing in an instant may suddenly become difficult, have seizures, become dizzy and even take themselves to the hospital.

Other drugs that do not detect the disease in the hospital and make it normal can cause other health problems. Some may even get stuck in its quagmire by using drugs to get rid of it.

In remote villages, there may be a tendency to use Dhamijankri for weeding. Which causes time, financial loss and health damage.

Danger of anxiety

Anxiety has been present since childhood and if it gradually becomes complex, mental development, social development, reading and learning will deteriorate. It can affect a person's career and lifestyle and make it difficult to live a quality life. People who suffer from anxiety for a long time can even reach a state of suicide.

Management

For the management of anxiety, it is important for a person to be aware. The government also needs to bring an orientation program for this in a strong manner. If you experience symptoms of this, you should go to a consultant for treatment.

Its treatment in Nepal
