Hello my dear readers. As I write this article, I am experiencing the pleasure and excitement of meeting you again. I greet you all wholeheartedly. My previous article was about anxiety. We discussed what anxiety is, what it means, and its meanings among the public. Today, I will try to answer the question "What are the symptoms of anxiety disorder?" and explain this issue.
In order to say that the individual in front of us may have an anxiety disorder, we generally need to observe the symptoms that I have tried to write below. If a person experiences several of the symptoms I have written below at the same time, such a person should definitely get support from a psychologist who deals with anxiety disorders. If a person tries to overcome it alone, unfortunately, he/she may get worse results and will also prolong the recovery period day by day. Taking immediate precautions at the beginning does no harm to anyone. You will definitely benefit from psychotherapy, especially from a psychologist. But as I said, there must be a psychologist who deals with anxiety disorders. Because not every psychologist works with anxiety disorders. Each psychologist has different areas of interest and specialization. Ask your psychologist, from whom you will get support, "Have you worked with anxiety disorders before?" Ask the question. The symptoms of anxiety disorder are as follows;
--> Perhaps the most important thing we will pay attention to is that the individual thinks of "some things are not going well" and feels this at a high level. Because the person feels something that does not exist, does not happen, does not happen, by scripting it in his mind and exaggerating it. Exaggerating this is not a behavior that is in the person's control, conscious or under control. It should immediately bring to mind the question "Could it be an anxiety disorder?" Because no one wants to experience the emotions I mentioned, and they are not easily realized. There must be a trigger so that these feelings can be experienced.
--> If the person thinks bad things are going to happen, If the person creates a series of scenarios in his mind as if bad events will happen to him, we need to keep the person under observation. What caused him to have this thought? Does he experience this feeling all the time? Do these kinds of thoughts constantly cross your mind? Let's definitely ask such questions.
--> One of the symptoms is that the individual feels as weak as possible. Such a symptom may also indicate depression. We need to get support to distinguish it.
--> A feeling of panic in the individual, going into a state of alarm, and being constantly on guard are among the signs that we should have that we may have an anxiety disorder.
--> I would like to express that it is a really serious symptom that the individual notices that his hands are trembling as a result of self-observation and that this occurs in the absence of any biological or physiological disorder. It will be beneficial for you to turn on the radars.
--> An acceleration in a person's heartbeat is perhaps one of the most important symptoms we should observe. Especially in cases where there is an additional acceleration in breathing in addition to this acceleration in heartbeat or difficulty in breathing as a result of rapid heartbeats, we may need to suspect an anxiety disorder. I think it would be beneficial for us to be careful.
--> The occurrence of sweating and excessive sweating is especially important if there is any activity that causes this sweating to occur naturally (sports, etc.). The fact that it occurs without any activity should raise suspicion in our minds. We need to ask the question: Do I have an anxiety disorder? It is also an important sign that I sweat only in the hands and not in the whole body. Of course, this must occur without any physiological discomfort.
--> Stomach problems such as stomach cramps and indigestion are one of the important symptoms we encounter. Stomach problems are an important symptom, especially in exam anxiety. If the person is a student and such a symptom occurs before the exam, I recommend turning on the radars. .
--> If any situation causes anxiety in the individual, at least if the individual thinks so and feels that he should avoid it, this is also an important symptom.
--> Having difficulty controlling anxiety is also a sign of an anxiety disorder. Because we do not have much difficulty in controlling normal anxiety. But if the person cannot control this, it means that this anxiety is not a type of anxiety that the person can overcome alone.
--> If the individual has difficulty falling asleep, this is a sign of anxiety disorder. One of the important symptoms. This means that the individual has anxiety that means he cannot fall asleep and has difficulty in going to sleep.
--> If he has difficulty trying to focus, cannot concentrate, cannot pay attention, a person either has an anxiety disorder or There is a lack of attention. Anxiety disorders can negatively affect the process of processing information in recent memory. If he cannot concentrate, especially if he cannot get rid of the thought he is worried about, it is definitely beneficial to turn on the radars.
--> We can interpret severe headaches as the result of a war in the individual's mind. The person struggles with the thought that causes anxiety, and as a result, the mind becomes tired. And as a result, headaches may occur.
--> Frequent urination is also one of the important physical symptoms.
--> Dry mouth is also a symptom.
--> Feeling insecure and worthless.
--> Getting tired easily is also a sign you should keep in mind.
--> Constantly wanting to cry is also one of the important symptoms.
--> Having muscle aches.
--> Hesitating to talk or eat in public.
< br /> --> Starting to shake is a very important symptom.
--> Wanting to break away from the environment and escape.
--> Believing that it is difficult to talk to others.
--> Feeling hopeless.
--> Concentrating on sad situations.
--> Having difficulty remembering.
--> Preoccupying one's mind with people's words.
--> Not being able to remain calm.
--> Dizziness.
--> Extreme irritability.
--> If daily life functions are difficult for the person, we may need to stop here.
--> If the fear-anxiety felt is not proportional to the relevant situation. We can evaluate this ratio by asking how it can normally be experienced.
--> If the anxiety is felt very strongly or lasts for a long time, this is a situation that we should take seriously.
