Introduction
Panic is a common human feeling. We all experience this when we are going through a difficult or difficult time. Fear and anxiety can usually be helpful in avoiding dangers, being alert, and facing problems. However, if these feelings become intense or last for a long time, they can stop us from doing the things we want to do, and as a result, our life can be painful. A phobia is a fear of a specific situation or thing that is not dangerous and is not usually disturbing to people.
Symptoms of panic
Mental symptoms and Physical symptoms
Feeling anxious all the time, Feeling tired, Not being able to focus, Feeling irritability, Sleep problems, Feeling the heartbeat, Excessive sweating, Tension and pain in the muscles, Rapid breathing, to feel dizziness, Fear of fainting, indigestion, Diarrhea
People with anxiety think that they have a serious physical illness because of these symptoms, and anxiety can make these symptoms worse. Unexpected panic attacks are called panic attacks. Depression is often accompanied by anxiety and panic. When we are depressed, our appetite disappears and the future looks bleak and bleak.
Phobia
A person with a phobia has severe symptoms of the above-mentioned anxiety. But they do appear when they are in a special situation in which they are very nervous. Other times they don't panic. If you are afraid of dogs then you will be fine if dogs are not around you. If you are afraid of heights, you will be fine on earth. If you can't cope with the crowds, you'll be alone.
A person with a phobia tries to avoid any situation that may cause them to panic, but in fact, this phobia becomes more severe over time. It can also mean that the victim needs to take precautions to avoid the situation. People with this disease know that there is no real danger, they think their fears are foolish but still, they cannot control them. Phobias that started as a result of a traumatic event or accident are more likely to end.
Reasons
Some of us have a tendency to be anxious about everything. Research has shown that such traits can be inherited through genes. However, even people who are not naturally anxious all the time, if they are under constant pressure, they also become nervous.
Sometimes the cause of the panic is very clear and when the problem is solved the panic goes away. But some events and situations are so traumatic and frightening that the panic they cause lasts long after the events are over. These are usually incidents in which human life is in danger such as car or train accidents and fires etc. People involved in these incidents can suffer from anxiety and depression for months or years, even if they have not suffered any physical injury. These symptoms are found in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Sometimes the use of drugs such as amphetamines, LSD,
or ecstasy can also cause anxiety. Even the caffeine in coffee is enough to make some of us suffer terribly.
Anxiety and phobia in children
Most children get scared sometimes for some reason. This is normal during development. For example, young children become accustomed to their caregivers and if for some reason they are separated from them, the children become very upset and nervous. Many children are afraid of dark or imaginary beings (ghosts). These fears usually subside when they grow up and do not affect children's lives or development. Most children are scared about important events like the first day of school but later this fear disappears and they get used to this new situation and start enjoying it.
Teenagers' moods often change. The reasons for their worries may vary, such as how they look, what other people think of them, how they relate to people in general, and how they relate to the opposite sex in particular. These problems can be overcome by talking about them. However, if these problems get worse, more people may notice that they are not performing well in school, that their behavior has changed, or that they are not physically fit.
Helping people with anxiety and phobias
Learn to be calm
Learning a specific way to stay calm can be helpful in overcoming anxiety and worry. It can be learned in groups, with the help of experts, and also through books and videotapes. The only way to benefit from this practice is to do it regularly, rather than just when a person has a problem.
Psychotherapy
This is a more comprehensive way of communicating that can help us identify the causes of anxiety that we have not yet identified. This procedure can be done individually or in groups and is usually done on a weekly basis for several weeks or months. Psychotherapists may or may not be doctors.
Medicines
Medications can also be used to treat some people with anxiety and phobias. Common sedatives include William-like medications (mostly sleeping pills, belonging to this type of medication). These medications are very effective in relieving anxiety, but keep in mind that with just four weeks of regular use, a person can become addicted to them and when people try to quit, they will experience unpleasant symptoms. Which can last for a long time. The use of these drugs is not suitable for the long-term treatment of anxiety
