Because depression can be the most serious of our problems, let’s start by seeing if you may be depressed. Keep in mind that everyone has their “blue” days.

The thing that separates clinical depression from simple melancholy is that the symptoms occur over a period of time. They don’t come and go, they stay around for awhile and can affect your life adversely.

Ask yourself the following questions. Answer yes if you’ve been feeling this way consistently over a period of two weeks.

• Do you find yourself constantly sad?
• Are you un-motivated to do simple things like shower,
  clean up the house, or make dinner?
• Do people tell you you’re overly irritable?
• Do you have trouble concentrating?
• Are you feeling isolated from family and friends even
  when they are around you?
• Have you lost interest in your favorite activities?
• Do you feel hopeless, worthless, or guilty for no reason
  at all?
• Are you always tired and have trouble sleeping?
• Has your weight fluctuated significantly?

If you can answer “Yes” to five or more of these questions, you could be suffering from clinical depression. It is important for you to seek out the help of a medical professional whether that be a doctor or a therapist. There are many medications out there that can help with depression.

Cure Stress and Overcome Anxiety

This is the form of the disorder that brings on sudden attacks that paralyze you with fear for no apparent reason. Of course there are absolutely underlying factors that cause these attacks, however, the sufferer rarely knows what those are, unless they seek professional help from a family physician or a clinical specialist who are equip to deal with this type of disorder.

Most common symptoms, or the symptoms of the attacks would be dizziness, feeling faint, increased breathing, pounding heart, tingling or numbing sensations in the hands and feet, fear of impending doom, a disconnection with reality, or a total lack or loss of control.

People that suffer from this disorder may honestly feel as if they are dying, having a heart attack, or losing their minds. These attacks can occur at any time, and even while the sufferer is asleep.

Anxiety/Panic Disorder is often connected with other serious disorders such as depression. Due to the fact that the attacks associated with this disorder are such terrifying events, the sufferer may make several trips to the local emergency room not really knowing the true cause as it may be difficult to get a correct diagnosis at first.

This disorder can be very debilitating to the sufferer and can extremely hinder their daily activities. If a sufferer experiences an attack while driving, they will avoid driving to avoid having another attack. This can be true of any type of daily activity such as grocery shopping, doing dishes, watching television, etc.

However, this form of disorder is the most treatable of all the Anxiety Disorders, and so an individual experiencing, or believe they are experiencing symptoms of this disorder should seek help and effective treatment through their chosen health care professional.

Take Back Control Of Your Life

This type of disorder more commonly strikes when a sufferer is placed within a social setting. It is also referred to as Social Phobia and can be a very traumatic and debilitating disorder making it near impossible for one afflicted with it to be comfortable at any social gathering. This includes everyday functions such as attending class, going out to dinner at a restaurant, or even going to work.

The person suffering from this disorder has strong self-conscious issues and may often times feel as if they are not welcome, or really a part of the social setting. They feel as if they are constantly being judged or watched by others for no apparent reason other than those things they themselves feel self-conscious about.

The social settings can be those that occur on a daily basis, or those that are rare occurrences, such as a party, public speaking events, etc. Often times, the sufferer will experience any of the following symptoms when placed in social gatherings: profuse sweating, trembling or shaking, feeling sick to their stomachs, inability to speak, or blushing.

A person suffering from this type of disorder can become so upset by an upcoming social event that it will plague them for weeks in advance working them into an anxious frenzy by the time the event finally comes around.

In an attempt to ‘self-medicate’, a person experiencing this disorder will often times turn to alcohol or ‘street’ drugs to cope which leads to more disorders springing up.

This disorder usually happens sometime during early childhood or adolescence and continues on throughout adulthood.

Treatment for this disorder can be accomplished through careful and consistent counseling and medication.

What are the symptoms of an anxiety attack?

* When you are struck with a anxiety attack you will feel it in your mind, body and soul. When I am feeling a anxiety attack coming on I start feel overwhelmed and out of control. You begin to feel scared. Then your mind becomes focused on this fear and no matter what you do you can’t overcome this fear.

* You may feel physical symptoms such as shaking, dizziness, chest pressure, sweating, shortness of breath and upset stomach.

* You may feel some emotional symptoms such as mood swings, uncontrollable crying, fear, confusion and anger.

* If you are in a public place such as a crowded Mall you may find yourself rushing to the exit and not knowing why. Your mind is telling you that you need to get out of there and you can’t resist.

* You feel excessive fear over a particular object or an event. Generalized anxiety disorder sufferers often worry about issues such as health, physical danger, losing their job, and financial problems.

While there is nothing really wrong with worrying about these things, If you are worrying about them 24/7 you may need some help to overcome anxiety so you can have family time without worry or fear.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) causes people to spend their day filled with exaggerated worry, even when there is no reason for it. They anticipate the worst about everything and are overly worried about their health, bills and work. Sometimes just thinking about getting through the day produces extreme anxiety.

People with GAD can’t relax, startle easily, and have difficulty concentrating. Often people with generalized anxiety disorder have trouble falling asleep. Physical symptoms include fatigue, headaches, muscle aches, twitching, crabby, nausea, dizziness and feeling out of breath.
