Anxiety Disorders Anxiety disorders are very common in North America. They are, in fact, the most common psychiatric disorder. I've talked a lot about everyday type stress and anxiety on this website, but there is also the kind of anxiety that just doesn't go away and can even be very debilitating. Anxiety can be mild to severe. Some anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder and certain phobias. Depression often tags along, although sometimes depression comes first.
Natural Anxiety Cures Anxiety Triggers? Many people do not know what triggered their severe anxiety. Others can tell us exactly what the cause was whether it was some traumatic expereince in their lives, war, loss of loved ones, serious financial challenges, thyroid problems, and even major life changes like marriage and child birth. Natural Anxiety Cures What is Anxiety? Anxiety is that feeling of impending doom, nervousness, tenseness and worry. It is diffult to describe anxiety, and many would claim that anxiety and stress don't exist at all unless we create them ourselves. Whether we create it or not, it can cause some serious problems including heart palpitations, high blood pressure, various intestinal problems, head-aches, lost work time and relationship crises. Natural Anxiety Cures What Causes Anxiety? Certain chemical imbalances in the brain can cause people to experience more anxiety and worry than expected. It is also more difficult to just 'turn it off.' Even so, there are measures that can be taken to feel less anxiety. sometimes just feeling more in control of our own anxiety can help to decrease the anxiety. Afterall, fear of the unknown is a bigfactor with anxiety. In other words, just not knowing what is going to happen next is a big trigger. Control over situations cannot always be achieved, yet the anxious person is yearning for it. Natural Anxiety Cures: Are you stressed out??? Stress and Anxiety: What Stressbuster works best for you?

Natural Medicines St. John's Wort is sometimes used for depression, but not a lot of research shows it is helpful for anxiety. It interacts with several medicines, too. SAMe is another natural medicine that helps with feelings of depression, but not anxiety. You may have heard of Kava. When I lived in Hawaii, there were actually Kava Bars. What mellow places those must've been! Kava tea is well known for its anti-anxiety benefits. It is considered to have a slower effect on the body than some of the prescription medicines like Xanax and Valium. I knew of people who had trouble staying awake and driving home from the Kava bar, though. Perhaps quantity had something to do with it. There is a reason we don't see a lot of Kava bars around anymore. People experienced liver problems-serious liver problems. Several countries have even banned it. I wouldn't risk it, but if you do, have your liver checked (blood tests) regularly. Valerian root is used by some people to help with anxiety. The research of its effectiveness with anxiety isn't real strong, but I know people who feel they have gotten good results. It is probably safe, also. Skullcap is another herb that some people have found helpful to reduce anxiety. It doesn't seem to help a lot with more serious, persistant anxiety, though. Safety hasn't been determined either. You may hear about Theanine which is in green tea. Although it has been used for some forms of anxiety, once again the persistant, severe anxiety disorders don't seem to respond well to it. So far it looks safe, but like many of the herbs, scientific research hasn't really established this. Natural Anxiety Cures Once again, see your healthcare provider-especially if your anxiety begins to impact your work, relationships and/or relationships. Discuss treatment options, and if you are interested in natural anxiety remedies such as natural medicines, be sure to include that in your discussion. Natural Anxiety Cures-Important Notice!
