Anxiety in the times of Pandemic

Anxiety covers feelings of nervousness, worry, or dread. Occasional spurts of anxiety are natural and sometimes quite fruitful- By signaling that something isn’t right, anxiety can assist people both avoid danger and make vital and meaningful changes. It manifests in diverse ways and the process is a negative gift of life. 


But persistent, pervasive anxiety that disturbs one’s daily life, whether it works, school, or with friends, can be the sign of an anxiety disorder. The positive outlook just changes. 

 

How to Know the Signs of Anxiety

 

Individuals suffering from anxiety may feel restless, edge, and bad-tempered. They may have complexities controlling or concentrating their emotions. Bodily symptoms can also include trouble sleeping, fatigue, trembling, headaches, stomach aches, and muscle tension. 

Anxiety often involves being upset about an intense, extreme degree. Those worries can apply to any aspect of life, from societal situations and family dynamics to physical health and professional concerns. Emotional Intelligence goes down during this time as irrational thoughts overtake. 

 

A person's anguish or dread can be severely out of proportion to the authentic challenges he or she is facing. People may also unreasonably believe that the worst-case scenario is certain. While some resort to spiritual activity, among others to explore most of the population just can’t. It is beyond their control to do so. 

 

How to Treat Anxiety

 

Anxiety disorders can repeatedly be addressed effectively with proper psychotherapy and/or medication.

People may connect via talk therapy tailored to their particular anxieties. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is one of the most helpful options for anxiety disorders. The practice teaches patients to confront the distorted thought model/pattern to change how they respond. Social anxiety can be alleviated by exposure therapy, in which patients are carefully and gradually exposed to their strong fears so they no longer escape from them.

 

Medication can help patients manage their anxiety, but they cannot heal the underlying condition. Clinicians may recommend fast-acting benzodiazepines for small periods. Beta-blockers present another short-term solution, as they can control troubling symptoms such as trembling hands or racing heartbeat for an exact event. Some antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or less frequently tricyclics, are given to a patient as a longer-term treatment and can take weeks or months to work.

 

Depending on the degree, simply listening does the common good for all sufferers. Please contact a professional for the correct approach.

Where is the Love?

There is a song called “Where’s the Love” by Black Eyed Peas. It has profound lyrics about the deprived state of the world. The words concentrated on death, children, asking questions about the abysmal world, killings, and terrorism, discrimination, justice, and corruption. At one point, the lyrics even tell you to take control of the mind in the world of change and insanity all around. It talks about the real side of the world- the media, racism, money, etc. Why are we talking about the song? It’s because the lyrics still apply for today.
