Anxiety Disorder - Managing and Overcoming Anxiety Attacks The uneasiness and creeping fear that accompanies anxiety can create a feeling of being trapped in a situation where you cannot unhook yourself. This uneasiness further progresses and combines with panic disorder along the way to finally cripple you emotionally, mentally and physically. Recent surveys have indicated that between 14 and 18 percent of Europeans and Americans are affected by panic disorders and anxiety. This means that anxiety is a global problem which needs a protracted approach if the way against it is to be won. The question of our age and time is - why are there so many anxiety and panic disorder related cases today and how can we go about it to conquer terror, fear, panic and worry? The answer to this question and many more is the subject matter of this eBook. It is possible to scale this seemingly insurmountable barrier to our personal happiness and wellness. Undergoing lobotomy or drowning yourself in a bottle of pills may not help much and in extreme cases it may even worsen your situation. This book discusses the causes and effects of panic and anxiety and the ways in which to manage and overcome mental and physical effects of anxiety. You will also learn how you can stop your mind from generating nightmares thereby giving you relative calm and mental peace. For you to be able to fully understand the dimensions of anxiety, it is very important to first examine it through the context of other emotional conditions that it is closely associated with. Anxiety is a term derived from the Latin word which means distressed or worried. According to the World English Dictionary, anxiety refers to a state of uneasiness or tension that is caused by apprehension of possible future misfortunes, danger, worry, etc. As opposed to fear which occurs in a situation that is at hand, anxiety is more focused on the potential and possibilities of danger before it even happens. For instance, in a situation where a lion or a bear suddenly appears, your reactions as reflected in the steps you take to save yourself are motivated by fear and not anxiety. Anxiety comes in a situation where you begin thinking about the possibilities of a lion or bear approaching you and then you immediately start pulsating and becoming worried. The event may not have happened but you already feel the effect because your mind has created a scenario of possible danger. Anxiety is part and parcel of our everyday life whether at school, at our work place or even at home. The feeling of anxiety is almost natural in every human being. However, when the feeling of anxiety crosses the border and affects your sleep, your diet, your relationships and everything else that you do, then it becomes a problem that needs psychology and/or medical attention.
