Do you know the dangers of generalized anxiety disorder?

I believe most people know that anxiety disorder is a psychological disease. Generally, anxiety disorder can be divided into multiple types clinically, and most people suffer from generalized anxiety disorder. Patients with anxiety disorder are mainly accompanied by other characteristics, such as social fear, personal psychological fear, fear of crowds, and obsessive-compulsive disorder and paranoia. Many patients with anxiety disorder look the same as normal people, but careful observation will reveal that the symptoms exhibited by patients with anxiety disorder are very serious. Anxiety disorder will cause many patients to lack self-confidence for a long time, and they will be restless all day long, and even affect their work and life. Severe cases will cause chest pain and tingling all over the body, forcing patients to relieve themselves through suicidal tendencies. These all require medication to maintain, combined with psychological adjustments to achieve the treatment effect.

1. Anxiety

Anxiety disorders are a common neurotic disorder characterized by anxiety. The incidence rate is 2%. It is a brain dysfunction with persistent anxiety, fear, tension and autonomic nervous activity disorders, often accompanied by motor restlessness and physical discomfort. The disease occurs in young and middle-aged people, and there is no significant difference in the incidence rate between men and women. Before the onset of the disease, most people are timid, have low self-esteem, are suspicious, think twice before doing anything, are indecisive, and cannot adapt quickly to new things and new environments. The cause of the disease is mental factors, such as being unable to adapt to a stressful environment, encountering misfortune, or having difficulty taking on more complex and difficult work. As social competition becomes increasingly fierce, stress factors in life increase, and anxiety reactions such as psychological maladjustment are bound to increase, which should attract everyone's attention. There are two main types of anxiety disorder: panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.

Panic disorder is a neurotic disorder with recurrent panic attacks as the main primary symptom. These attacks are not limited to any specific situation and are unpredictable. Common symptoms include intense tension, obvious shortness of breath, a sense of impending death, a feeling of madness, and cardiovascular system symptoms.

Generalized anxiety disorder: Symptoms are mainly anxiety and nervousness without a clear object and specific content. Patients are restless all day long, worrying about their work and health; worrying about the safety of their loved ones, and are often accompanied by physical discomfort, such as sweating, palpitations, chest pain, and tingling all over the body. The patient feels pain because it is unbearable and cannot be relieved.

The above two types of patients often go to the internal medicine department or emergency room for treatment, and are often mistaken for coronary heart disease attacks, respiratory disorders or other paroxysmal diseases. Repeated examinations do not reveal any abnormalities. Therefore, patients with the above symptoms should go to the psychiatric outpatient clinic for treatment.

2. Phobia

Phobia is a neurosis characterized by excessive and irrational fear of external objects or situations. The patient knows that it is unnecessary, but is still afraid, accompanied by significant anxiety and autonomic nervous symptoms. The patient tries to avoid the feared object or situation, or endures it with fear.

Agoraphobia: The fear objects are mainly certain specific environments, such as squares, closed rooms, dark places, crowded places, means of transportation (such as crowded cabins, train carriages), heights, etc.

Social phobia: The main fear objects are social occasions (such as eating or talking in public, gatherings, meetings, etc.) and interpersonal contact (such as contact with people in public, fear of eye contact with others, etc.);

Specific phobia: The fear object is a specific object or situation that is not included in agoraphobia and social phobia, such as animals (such as insects, rats, snakes, etc.), heights, darkness, lightning, blood, trauma, injections, surgery, or sharp objects.
