The Consequences of our Actions-America Facing Anxiety Disorder
from:The majority of us feel anxious at any point of our lives. It may be because we are expecting a crucial event or we are asked to do something we are not accustomed to do like speaking in public. Such reactions are normal. However, when anxiousness becomes chronic and consuming, it may be a sign of a far greater condition that we may derive from simple forms of anxiety.
It is a wonder why too many of us Americans have been developing psychiatric, behavioral and mental disorders that are not as prevalent as with other countries or with people of other regions. Take for example the high toll of people with general anxiety disorder. For most states, this disorder is quite a new form of ailment. But with for us, the number of people with generalized anxiety disorder is alarming.
We may attribute this fact to the lifestyle we have created for ourselves. Who can deny among us how fast-paced and stressful our living conditions are? No one! For that is the truth. How many of us can find time for ourselves? To relax? To unwind and to put off for another day all the troubles of the present? The ordinary living for most people of other countries is our pleasure and we even pay for such.
How foolish that may be? The best things are free, they say. Rightly enough, the ideal things are truly the best. And the best are among the most priced in America.
That may be the root problem…along with many others. Now that we have established that fact then we can attribute the growth of problems to our daily experiences.
Anxiety disorder in America rates for around 1 for every 5 persons. That is the latest statistics. However, the real rate is still undefined since many opponents propose that that could be a far larger figure than anyone would have guessed. In fact, that is 20% of all Americans! If that figure were true, then we are on the edge of living a normal life and living with constant fear.
There are a number of factors that hinder us from arriving to the actual statistics. One of which is the refusal of patients to come out of the hiding due to their distressing condition. Most people think of anxiety disorder as something that one cannot be proud of. That's true. Yet that is not a reason enough to make an embarrassment of yourself.
Americans experience a number of conditions that are categorized as anxiety disorder. Among them are post-traumatic stress disorder, social and specific phobias, panic disorder and anxiety, excessive-compulsive disorder and generalized disorder.
On the first glance, patients of these conditions may look normal. Yet, somewhere in their personality they hide behaviors that may put some people off the guard. They must not be ostracized, rather they need assistance and compassion. Their conditions must be understood as something that is not their choosing. It is in fact a by-product of the stresses and experiences that we too undergo. Only, they were unlucky enough to become victims of such disorders.
Anxiety disorder in America is chronic. Meaning, individuals with these disorders must endure with them until cure is found. Treatments are available but not all patients respond to the medications and therapies in ways science intended them to be. Some heal within weeks but most require months and even years before they truly come up to full recovery.
