Anxiety disorder. Description

Anxiety disorder is an emotional experience. It is accompanied by discomfort from uncertainty in future events. Anxiety disorder is endowed with a specific biological meaning. The development of this state is associated with the mobilization of body resources, which provide this or that behavior under extreme conditions.

Anxiety-phobic disorders are characterized as a group of disorders associated with external factors and psychological causes. When assessing the condition, the relative nature of the existing trauma is taken into account.

Various psychotraumatic stimuli act as provocative factors. So, information about love troubles, troubles at work, the collapse of hopes, information about the impending punishment, threat to health or life contribute to the fact that there is an alarming personality disorder.

Treatment of the condition will depend, mainly on the nature, intensity of the duration of the experience.

It should be noted that, depending on the type of disorder, the clinical picture also appears. Specialists share a pathological and adaptive type of condition.

It should be noted that the anxiety state has an evolutionary value, which consists in mobilizing the resources of the organism in the event of extreme situations. Some level of emotional experience must necessarily be present in a person to ensure his normal life. Normal anxiety promotes adaptation to different situations. The state is growing when there is an external threat, the need for choice, lack of time and information.

Pathological anxiety disorder can be provoked by external factors. However, as a rule, it is due to internal physiological and psychological reasons. Such an anxiety disorder is disproportionate to the actual threat or has no connection with it at all. The main distinctive feature of this state is considered to be inadequacy relative to the significance of the situation, which significantly reduces the adaptive capacity and productivity.

Anxiety disorder can be paroxysmal or continuous, endogenous or situational, short-term.

With an increase in severity to such an extent that it begins to interfere with normal life activity, the diagnosis of "anxiety disorder" is established.

Symptoms of a condition are divided into specific and general. The latter consist of vegetative and mental signs with a characteristic polysystemic nature in the disturbances.

Specific features determine a specific type of disorder, for which a specific psychopathological structure is characteristic. It, in turn, can include permanent or paroxysmal manifestations. The latter are characterized by panic symptoms, presented in the form of a clearly delineated episode of severe discomfort or fear. The condition is accompanied by a sharp increase in sweating, palpitation, a sense of lack of air and other signs.
