Anxiety Effect

Despite what is causing a child to feel anxious, there is always a way to figure out what is bothering him/her. One intervention is known as ORI, which a three step intervention process: Observe, Reflect, and Intervene. Each child is unique in their own way, teachers need to observe a child's behavior and really watch his/her students closely to learn what is making him/her anxious. Then, to help the child being observed, teachers have to put past experiences together and respond appropriately to the cues

For most people, anxiety is something that occurs occasionally throughout their lives such as, right before a big meeting, presentation, tests, or a simple medical procedure. Other people are facing challenges daily due to anxiety; some are diagnosed while others are not. Anxiety includes, “distressingly unpleasant and maladaptive feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and physical reactions. Students with anxiety often worry about their competence, even when they are not being evaluated” (Durwin, 467). These struggles affect the performance of adults in their everyday lives and more specifically; a child’s performance in academics. It is the role as an educator, to aid students with anxiety and other disorders with coping with these

Anxiety Disorder is a sudden feeling of qualms, uneasiness, nervousness, and anxiousness. Symptoms vary for each person. In the adolescent years anxiety shines the most. With school work, and social interaction. In our society, many people diagnose themselves with anxiety, because they are nervous, they believe they have an anxiety disorder.

During the time of this event, I was administering the second round of a standardized test, the STAAR test, to special needs students that did not pass, or meet the ‘satisfactory’ level on the first test. This was considered a high-stakes second chance as passing the test is necessary before students can be promoted on to the next grade. As such, general anxiety levels were high among all of the students, but they seemed especially high for this girl in particular. She was always nervous before regular exams, but I knew she was aware that this exam carried some extra weight. I was well aware that her parents had strict expectations for her, and she struggled to live up to them. Consequently, for this particular student, who was anxious in general, the uncontrollable

At some point in time all of us experience anxiety whether or not it is for a test you stayed up all night studying for and somehow forgot everything you have ever learned since preschool or the case may be more serious. I myself, deal with anxiety on a day to day basis in many ways, at first I thought it wasn't a big deal, but then I started to suffer from physical pain and later found out it was from untreated anxiety.

For this chapbook assignment I researched the topic of anxiety. Specifically how anxiety affects students in differing degrees of education. I chose this topic because according to Anxiety and Depression Association of America one in five people suffer from different types of anxiety in the United States. This staggering proportion of people is what pressed my curiosity to find out more about anxiety. In addition to this I was curious about how it affects different people, and the different types of treatments for these conditions.

The article titled “Interventions can salve unseen anxiety barriers” published on December 2014 tackles on the problem of many educators today that is the troubling behaviors of students linking to anxiety disorders. The authors Jessica Minahan a behavioral analyst and an educator herself and Jerome J. Schultz a clinical neuropsychologist , proposes new methods of dealing with students who have negative behaviors inside the classroom as it may be a result of an unseen disorder. Procastination, tardiness and not submitting works assigned to students are few examples of negative behaviors inside the classroom that are most likely caused by anxiety according to the said article. These “negative” behaviors shown by students can be changed using different and rather new approaches as suggested by the authors.

Aside from noticing my anxiety’s presence and putting most of my effort into trying to shake the feeling of it, I’m also sitting in a classroom full of 20 people trying to focus on learning. A seemingly near impossible task - trying to juggle the start of a panic attack in the middle of class, and also trying to focus on the lesson being taught.

Anxiety is a feeling of fear, restlessness and unease about a situation that is approaching and at the same time we are unclear about what this situation is or what the exact reason for our state of malaise is.

Anxiety affects many people across the world no matter what gender, age, or ethnicity they may be. Anxiety can be anything between unusual and excessive worrying, and severe panic attacks and shortness of breath. Most people with anxiety stress and worry over the littlest things, because they tend to think about the worst possible outcome of the situation. Because they jump to the worst outcome, and do not see the best possible outcomes too, they cannot stop thinking about “what if.” If a person really has anxiety they tend to find themselves constantly thinking about the situation, and they cannot seem to get it out of their head. There are many causes of anxiety, however, there are also many treatments for anxiety; anxiety has a good looking prognosis due to these multiple treatments.

Stressful events can greatly impact an individual’s anxiety. As anxiety levels begin to increase, they affect different areas of the body, by increasing blood pressure, pulse rate and triggering perspiration. These processes can have both positive and negative results for the body, for instance memory can be enhanced or impaired. This outcome directly influences an individual’s ability to learn and retain new information. However, the effects stress has on memory depend on how long and when the individual experiences stress.

Anxiety is something that some people handle better than others and in situations of stress.

Sitting in the guidance office on my second day of eighth grade, I could only think, “How can this be happening to me again?” I was not there because of a scheduling issue or to plan my future, but I was there having another anxiety attack.

With the aid of therapy and medication, I was hopeful my condition was under control.

Moving from a place where we are so familiar with to the unknown is a terrifying feeling we could experience. It is a terrifying feeling because we get attached to the place that we come to know and love. Reason being we are familiar with the streets that we drive on, the houses around the neighborhood.

It is a daily routine that we come to get so comfortable with but we should always welcome change since it is part of life taking risks and pushing to come out of our comfort zone to experience new things. It is a hard thing to do sometimes because we are close-minded and frankly, we are never ready for change. We fear what the outcome
