Anxiety

What leads someone to develop an anxiety disorder is still not fully understood. Traumatic events or life experiences may trigger these disorders in people already prone to anxiety, but inherited traits can also be a factor.

For some people, their anxiety disorder may be linked to underlying health issues, but in other cases, anxiety symptoms can be the first indicators of a medical illness.While most people experience anxiety as a normal part of life, some develop an anxiety disorder. 

Those with an anxiety disorder may feel intense and persistent fears over daily situations, or have panic attacks come on very suddenly. While the exact causes of anxiety are still not completely understood, it is believed that many cases are triggered by traumatic experiences like the death of a loved one, abuse, and even accidents. Anxiety disorders can even be inherited, making some people more prone to develop them.

Panic Attacks

Most people will experience one or two panic attacks at some point in their life, but experiencing recurrent panic attacks may mean you have a condition known as panic disorder. Although panic attacks aren’t life-threatening, they can significantly detract from your quality of life.

Symptoms of panic attacks can include: a sense of impending doom, fear of loss of control, fear of death, rapid heart rate, sweating, trembling/shaking, shortness of breath, chills, hot flashes, nausea, abdominal cramping, chest pains, headaches, dizziness/lightheadedness, numbness/tingling, or a feeling of detachment. If you have panic attacks so frequently that you avoid certain situations that might trigger them, it is probably time for you to seek medical help from a professional.

Everyone experiences occasional anxiety. However, people suffering from excessive worry and fear on a daily basis may suffer from an anxiety disorder. These disorders often revolve around repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear that reach a peak within minutes, known as panic attacks. Anxiety disorders can interfere with daily activities and be difficult to control, but are most often out of proportion to the actual danger. You may actively avoid places, people, or situations to prevent anxiety.

With the advent of Ketamine Infusion Therapy for anxiety, people suffering from anxiety disorders are finding relief from their symptoms within hours of treatment, rather than the weeks that more traditional medications may take.
