Anxiety is a general term for several disorders that cause nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worrying. These disorders affect how we feel and behave, and they can manifest real physical symptoms.Well, there is a way to cure this kind decease, “natural” treatments, such as moderate exercise, breathing techniques and/or modifying their diet.

Cheers Fellas!

My anxiety is inborn.I had no hopes,nor my doctor 70 years back.I am newly addicted to anti-anxiety medication.I tried to withdraw but without success.At 80″doctor advises continuation.It was very diffult life and yet I made it look normal to others.Anxiety is ones enemy but years and how many more,In cannot say.

Hmm, I think I fear lizards. Exposure therapy might indeed help, sounds tough though.

I like spiders actually. lol. I don’t understand what’s so scary about them. :/

I think all this is great!! I have Agoriphobia with panic. I have IBS with Diarrea. I have been on all meds — nothing works.. I’m not trying to cut anybody down, spiders are not my thing either but…… what happens when every time you leave the house your bowel is not right. Like knock a little old lady down trying to get to the bathroom? Almost like food poisoning with craps and sweats from panic? step on the damn spider! sorry… but soiling yourself in the car or in a store not the way i want to live.. I have to have a normal movement before I can leave the house, not normal don’t go.– Thats about 80% of the time. Everytime I leave the house I have my roots, I know every bush, side road you name it just in case. Tired of living this way… fix my gut will hopefully fix my mind of 16 years… thanks for your help if you have any…

There are no better wriyers and psychologists than Dr.Sigmund Freud of Germany and Dr.Ivan Pavlov of Russia.Both were two sides of a coin who wrote volumes on menatl aberrations,icluding anxiety.I would advice concerned read these celebrity doctors and follow their advices.The essence of their writings is as follows.Dr.Freud who wrote psychoanalysis and several other books summarised that all mental aberrations have base in childhood and libido.The suppression of painful experiences in childhood grows with age and turns into monsters and threaten the security and health of the mind.He suggested a theory called Free association of mind.One need to go deep and deeper into ones own psycho and reproduce all the painful experiences and neutralise them.He firmly believed that if one studies ones own experiences year by year and neutralise them,one will find answer to all aberrations and restore the health and confidence in life.He believed anxiety is natural to any child when he is separted by the father from mother who is his or her love object and taken away.This insecurity is the base of all mental illness.One should thus purify ones own mind by uncovering all such painful experiences.One shoulld read his book on Taboos and Totem and also his book on dreams interpretation.One should also devote his studies to Dr.Antony Pavlov who experimented with dogs and wrote books on Conditioned reflex.Inhibitory painful experiences are the major cause for anxiety and depression and excitory stimulas cause feeling of well being.He experimented on dogs proved that main cause of depression was pain experiences during satisfaction of natural instinct like hunger,sex and other natural propensities.He advised that decondioning and rest with relaxation would restore health of the mind.It is advised that those disturbed persons should undergo the same treatment of self analysis and readjustment.Both doctors suggested analysis by self and neutralise the toxic past from the psyche.Drugs too will help the patients to recover faster to healthy life.Dr.Pavlov proved beyond doubt that neurosis can be induced and neutralised by experiments.Dr.Freud was however was more theorician but by treatment succeeded in curing neurosis through analysis of sick minds.Both revolutionised the mental and personality aberrations including anxiety and cured millions.I had earlier suggested a difficult path of Meditaion which Adi Shankara,exponent of monism.

A great well written and informative article. Exposure therapy does work very well, you just need to remember to take tiny gradual and achieveable steps otherwise it can feel very daunting.
