What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is the body's automatic response to any challenging/stressful situation. Little anxiety is good; it helps to stay focused, alert and motivated. But too much anxiety causes a lot of emotional and physical symptoms. Anxiety isn't developed or caused by a single factor but a combination of factors like personality, early life experiences, physical health, and many other factors.

An anxiety attack is an abrupt or sudden onset of intense discomfort or fear that reaches the peak within a few minutes. These can be frightening, awful, or intense.

What Causes Anxiety Attacks? (Know These Anxiety Attack Causes)

  • Family History: For some people, it may be hereditary. But it doesn't always mean that if a close relative or your parents have anxiety, you will also be getting anxiety.

  • Personality Factors: People with some personality traits such as perfectionism, inhibition, timidity,  low self-esteem, easily flustered, or being controlling are prone to develop anxiety during childhood, adolescence, or as adults.

  • Ongoing Stressful Events: People who are undergoing traumatic stress right now are more likely to get anxiety. Some common triggers are:

  1. Work stress or job change
  2. Change in living arrangements
  3. Pregnancy and giving birth
  4. Divorce or separation
  5. Major emotional shock following a stressful or traumatic event
  6. Abuse either sexual, emotional, or physical
  7. Death or loss of a loved one
  • Health Problems: Your physical health can also lead to anxiety. People living with serious, ongoing, or life-threatening physical health conditions such as heart problems, diabetes, asthma, hypertension, cancer, etc., can have anxiety. It is also found that anxiety is common among people who have mental health problems. Depression and anxiety conditions often occur together.

  • Substance Use: People resort to alcohol or other drugs to help them manage their anxiety or worries. In some cases, people get anxious because of their behavior of drinking and other drugs. Research shows that alcohol and substance use can trigger anxiety conditions after the effects of abuse wear off.

  • Early Life Experiences: Difficult childhood, adolescence, or adulthood can trigger anxiety. Anxiety is triggered when a person experiences any kind of physical or emotional abuse, neglected by family, losing a parent, a parent going through a divorce, or being bullied or excluded from society.

How Is Anxiety Treated?

One of the primary aims of anxiety treatments is to eliminate the chances of anxiety attacks and reducing the symptoms.

Following are some of the treatment options for anxiety:

  • Psychotherapy – This is a form of counseling where patients learn to control their negative emotions and get back to normalcy. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is one of the effective therapies used to treat anxiety.
  • Medications – Certain medications are prescribed by doctors in order to control the symptoms of anxiety. Antidepressants, benzodiazepines, beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, buspirone, etc., are some of the medications used for anxiety.
