Anxiety disorders are the most common of all mental health
disorders and affect the lives of millions of people every year,
including approximately 19 million in the U.S. alone. If you are
one of them, you may wonder if your symptoms are standard, and if
there are behavioral and medical treatments that might be
effective for you. While everyone experiences anxiety in some form
-- perhaps before giving a public presentation or in the midst of
major life changes -- those with anxiety disorders experience it
unusually often and irrationally.
There are many different types of anxiety disorders, each of which
have unique features, but all of them share the symptoms of dread
and excessive fear. Five common types are panic disorder,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder,
social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. As with
most disorders, each individual will experience symptoms slightly
differently, and response to treatment will vary as well. While
there are prescription medications for anxiety, for those who are
wary of the side effects there also exist natural treatments for
anxiety which contain herbal ingredients that can produce equally
positive effects.
Passion flower (or Passiflora Incarnata) is a natural ingredient
that is often used for anxiety relief, as well as to treat
hyperactivity, insomnia, nervous tension and even Parkinson's
Disease. Passion flower helps to calm and soothe and is believed
to be able to reduce nervous tremors and lower high blood
pressure.
Lavender (or Lavandula Augustifolia) is one of the most popular
natural ingredients for treatment of a variety of conditions,
including anxiety disorder. Lavender is a general tonic for the
nervous system and is well-known for it's calming properties,
making it among the most effective of natural panic attack
treatments. The active ingredients in lavender are tannins,
flavinoids, coumarins, triterponoids and volatile oil.
Lemon Balm (or Melissa Officinalis) is a natural ingredient that
is used as a restorative for the nervous system and also calms the
digestive system and reduces blood pressure. Lemon Balm has also
been used to treat Grave's disease (hyperthyroidism), and to treat
depression and insomnia.
There are no quick fixes for anxiety disorder and anxiety disorder
treatments should usually focus heavily on behavioral therapy. No
matter how many times you might hear that you "worry too
much" or that you should relax, your symptoms are not
character flaws but indications of a serious disorder that is not
your fault. Anxiety disorder is caused by biological,
physiological and genetic factors, and may make your life seem
stressful and difficult. There are many others like you who have
found effective treatment through therapy, medication, herbal
remedies for anxiety or some combination of the aforementioned,
and you too have the ability to overcome your disorder to lead a
happier, healthier life. |
