Description
Seeking relief from anxiety is one of the most common problems my clients request help with. Recognizing the intimate connection between the mind, body, feelings, and emotions is a crucial first step in understanding anxiety, whether it is primary or secondary to their distress.
No one understands better than those who suffer from anxiety how significantly it can impact their quality of life. If you experience anxiety, you are not alone. Anxiety is a universal experience that touches individuals of all ages at various points in their lives.
Anxiety is characterized by unrelenting worry. It is a psychological and physiological condition manifested in the mind, felt in the body, and impacts our quality of life. It can be a symptom of underlying health issues that need addressing. Anxiety can develop from complex risk factors, including genetics, biology, brain chemistry, personality, and life events.
Occasional or situational anxiety is experienced as a generalized sense of worry and unease due to unknown or persistent threats. Mentally, anxiety disturbs the ability to concentrate and focus, affecting memory and increasing forgetfulness and runaway ruminating thoughts.
Nineteen percent of U.S. adults suffer from an anxiety disorder, and 31% will experience anxiety at least once in their lifetime. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., with more than half of those affected being women.
Women diagnosed with one anxiety disorder are more likely than men to be diagnosed with eating disorders, such as bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, and/or major depressive disorder. Women who experience anxiety notice that its symptoms often precipitate or worsen at times of hormonal fluctuation in their menstrual cycle, notably during puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and the menopausal transition.
How women and men cope with anxiety affects their experiences and offers insights into how to address their symptoms. Men are less likely to seek help for anxiety due to societal expectations around masculinity, which often discourage emotional expression and vulnerability. Anxiety in men can manifest as aggression, irritability, and substance use, rather than internalizing symptoms like women.
Women often seek supportive relationships to talk about their feelings. Common emotion-focused coping strategies include venting, rumination, and self-blame. If a woman is unable to express her experiences, she may internalize her feelings, which can lead to increased anxiety.
Anxiety is most often triggered by stress. The fight-flight-freeze response increases adrenaline and cortisol, the stress hormones. Taking care of the stress usually minimizes anxiety or clears it completely.
Adults 60 years of age and older are more likely to experience physical symptoms of anxiety, such as agitation, poor concentration, and fatigue. It’s essential to be aware of this because older adults with anxiety tend to experience other mental health issues, like depression, at the same time.
Recently, medical researchers have discovered that the association between anxiety disorders and pain may be stronger than the association between depression and pain.
There is a connection between anxiety and sedentary behavior. If you experience anxiety and a sedentary lifestyle, recognizing this link might motivate you to make lifestyle changes, incorporating more movement throughout your day.
Unfortunately, anxiety can interfere with meaningful relationships with friends, family, or romantic partners. It can impact our ability to work, make decisions, leave the house, and connect with others.
Whatever the root cause of your anxiety, honor its message to you. Your unease might be trying to tell you something. Instead of fearing anxiety, create space to be present with it. Practice mindful inquiry to understand better the deeper issues contributing to your symptoms.
No matter how agitated, anxious, or out of control you feel, you must know that you can change your arousal system and calm yourself. Self-care is always vital amidst the day-to-day demands imposed by internal and external expectations.
