Anxiety Disorder Symptoms

I went to see a psychiatrist and he said I have anxiety disorder. Once I stop taking the anti anxiety medication, all the symptoms come back - like, shortness of breath and suicidal thoughts, gastric problems, fearful and so on. What can I do?

So, consult with a physician. Tell them about your problems and that you'd like to rule out thyroid problems and perhaps even allergies, vitamin deficiencies, epilepsy, and the likes.

Sometimes, especially in people with disorders such as obsessive compulsive disorder, the brain gets stuck in panic mode and anti-depressants don't always help. If this is the case with you, you might want to discuss alternative short-term medications with your psychiatrists. Believe it or not, haloperidol, which is typically used for psychosis, can be used to treat this type of anxiety.

Anxiety Help - Birth Control a Cause of Anxiety

Birth Control a Cause of Anxiety

Yes, it can.

I can tell you from personal experience that if you think your pill is the cause of anxiety, you should go off of it immediately. Everyone is different though.

My suggestion would be to find a pill with a different concoction of hormones. I would definitely check with your gynecologist and find out what they recommend for your specific needs.

Anxiety Help - Anxiety Attacks During Labor

Anxiety Attacks During Labor

I have not officially been diagnosed with anxiety disorder, but have been known to have an anxiety attack when things get to be too much.

You also go through a bit of a strange sensation when you are in labor where your brain almost goes numb and it is difficult to think about anything. It is difficult to describe, but I think it all has to do with your body dealing with the pain.

I am a few days away from delivering my second child and have been getting nervous playing the waiting game and doing my best to talk myself out of a panic attack (I am the type of person who does not like surprises and likes to have things scheduled and planned and since I have no control over when I go into labor it is quite frustrating).

Anxiety and depression are taking over my life. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to help with this? I am on meds for it and still can't seem to get out from underneath it all.

Some issues in life we encounter are difficult to deal with and at times we need to admit there is nothing we can do about it and must put them behind us and move on. It�s not easy but it will allow you space for that inner peace and help to lift your depression and banish your anxiety.

I think I have social anxiety disorder, but does that make me mental?

Social anxiety disorder is one of the common phobias (don't be scared by the word phobia, it's a bit overused and abused!), it definitely doesn't make you mental.

I think being a bit afraid of something or anxious in certain situations actually makes you normal.

I kind of feel life I have butterflies in my stomach all the time. I think I�m nervous because I�m going to DC on an airplane and I�ve not been on an airplane since I was three. What should I take to get rid of the anxiety, stomach ache or the burning or feeling full?

Anxiety Help - Anxiety and Depression More Common?

Anxiety and Depression More Common?

Why are anxiety and depression so common these days? Is it just that we have found new terms for and legitimized diagnoses of things which previously would have been quietly written off as 'nerves'?

I think the reason anxiety and depression are more common is three fold.

First, life is more hectic and faster paced. This pace of life distances us from each other. Humans are social creatures. We need social interaction, to feel needed and to feel loved. This becomes harder the more we try to cram into our lives.
