To the Ministry of Health explained that anxiety is a completely justified feeling, because with its help a person can hide from danger and unite to protect themselves if necessary.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to the Ministry of Health.
Therefore, a feeling of anxiety does not make a person anxious and is not the basis for a diagnosis of “anxiety disorder”.
At the same time, generalized anxiety disorder is a good reason to contact medical specialists. The Ministry of Health explained how to identify its symptoms and reduce the impact on the body.
Generalized anxiety disorder can be diagnosed if you have:
— uncontrollable anxiety and fear in general, without a specific cause;
— over the past six months, there have been significantly more days with such anxiety than without it;
— during this time, there have been at least several times: a feeling of extreme anxiety, being at the limit of strength, easy fatigue or emptiness in the head, irritability, muscle tension, poor sleep, or excessive sleepiness.
The Ministry of Health noted: if these symptoms are also accompanied by headaches, panic attacks, dizziness, nausea – it is necessary to return to specialists.
«Anxiety disorders are a consequence of a combination of heredity and the influence of the environment and upbringing, and they are mainly treatable. And here a comprehensive approach is needed: medications, psychotherapy and self-discipline», — explain doctors.
Experts note that effective treatment begins with recognizing the presence of a problem, a competently selected specialist.
«After all, the next phrase we hear from friends: “everything will be fine”, may be powerless in the matter of psychological health», — added the Ministry of Health.
