Alternative Treatment For General Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety is a disorder that many people face daily. While some people might know how to deal with their anxiety, many people do not even know that they are being affected by this troublesome disorder. Anxiety is defined as a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. Anxiety has taken its toll on me throughout my lifetime, and I was completely unaware until I was able to put a word to the feelings I had. Impacting school life, work life, and personal life anxiety is no easy task to face. Anxiety has the ability to turn confidence into fear and has a great mental impact on the person affected. Anxiety, to me, is being in a constant state of fear or worry; no matter the situation.

Imagine while writing a term paper trying to figure out how to start a proper introduction, a text message is received from a loved one reading, “I am on my way home now. see you soon.” You reply, “Okay drive safe.” Moments pass and the feeling of worry slowly starts to kick in wondering if they are driving safe, if they are checking their mirrors before switching lanes, if they have their seatbelt on, and if the tires are still good on the car. Then in a matter of minutes, ‘if’ turns into ‘what if’. What if they got into an accident, hostage by terrorist, got kidnapped by mafia, and other things that are not likely to happen while on the road. This constant worry, nervousness, and tension just continuously grows and envelopes you, rendered unable to even complete normal tasks like writing this introduction. This is just a small example of what someone with Generalized Anxiety Disorder may go through on a daily business every moment during their day. The topics that are going to be covered in this paper are what is GAD and what are the signs and symptoms, how does GAD affect the ability to perform normal activities of daily living, and an overall summary with my assigned individual at SDC for his Intensive Learning Project.

Some of the common psychiatric disorders that are experienced by patients include depression, schizophrenia and generalized anxiety disorder. The psychiatric disorders may be caused by both genetic and environmental factors. All these disorders of the mind greatly affect the quality of life of the sufferers. Depression may affect any individual at any stage of life and the symptoms include lack of interest and generalized low moods.

The complications in the treatment of the disease include headaches and disorientation. Schizophrenia is disease of the mind that makes it arduous for an individual to tell between the real and what is unreal. The symptoms of schizophrenia include obscured thinking depression and hallucinations among others. The treatment of schizophrenia ranges from pharmacotherapy to psychosocial interventions such as skills training, family therapy and cognitive remediation among others. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), in which the sufferer is constantly worried about several things, is characterized with incapability to let go of trivial matters that concern an individual. The sufferers are unable of thinking clearly as their mind is clouded with varied thoughts of worry. GAD has similar symptoms to panic disorder and other anxiety disorders.

Factors of the medical module such as age, external and internal influences and home life may have explained why those things are affecting John’s behavioral problems. Between the massive change in behavior, school and social skills, it is clear that the physical abuse John endured has had a significant impact on his life. John may have been labeled a “deviant” in society because his condition is not widely understood by everyone. Just as there are many people that don’t empathize with certain physical disabilities, there are just as much if not more that don’t understand the weight of a mental disability or disorder. The quick and easy way to dismiss the lack of knowledge is to confine John into the “deviant” category. If John was constantly being reminded of his academic challenges by being labeled as a deviant that may prevent him for striving beyond his given “label”.

Mary's addiction had caused her to become a distant and neglectful mother. Mary is an addict it is in the subtext through around 80 percent of the play and then towards the end becomes blatant, the reader sees Jamie talking to Edmund about what it was like knowing his mother was an addict, "I know you think I'm a cynical bastard, but remember I've seen a lot more of this game than you have. You never knew what was really wrong until you were in prep-school. Papa and I kept it from you. But I was wise ten years or more before we had to tell you." (O'Neill) This talk about how Jamie knew and has had to live with the fact his mother is an addict shows and helps explain how Jamie is as a person, all because he didn't have a strong mother figure. Another quotation explaining marys addiction is when Mary talk about how they cannot forget what she did in the past, "I'm not blaming you, dear. How can you help it? How can any one of us forget [strangely] That's what makes it so hard—for all of us. We can't forget." (O'Neill) Mary was a drug addict and still is by the end of the play but this passage shows how she admits to her past problems and tries to move forward but fails and proves that she cannot even forget what she has done and therefore reverts back to it. This next passage from the play is a somber moment where one of Mary's sons talks about what it was like having an addict for a mother and seeing her lose control of her emotions. "Yes. It's pretty horrible to see her the way she must be now. [with bitter misery] The hardest thing to take is the blank wall she builds around her. Or it's more like a bank of fog in which she hides and loses herself. Deliberately, that's the hell of it! You know something in her does it deliberately—to get beyond our reach, to be rid of us, to forget we're alive! It's as if, in spite of loving us, she hated us!" (O'Neill) He is hurt by the
