is normal. But when a person experiences more than three of these warning signs at once and they persist, the person should take notice and see a physician.
Patients may also note more abnormal warning signs, including trembling, twitching, feeling shaky, and muscle soreness. The sufferer can also have clammy hands, dry mouth, sweat profusely, come down with nausea or diarrhea, feel the need to urinate frequently, or have trouble swallowing. Depression can also afflict these patients. In fact, GAD and depression go together many times. The cause may be genetic, but when a person feels under stress, more likely GAD will persist. Medical professionals think that the disease comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain, most likely chemicals related to neurotransmitters. The right treatment can help the patient get his life back on track and feel more hopeful about the future. Many times, doctors will use medications in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder. Also, a patient should see a doctor if the problem lasts longer than six months.
How can a person with GAD function in our stress-ridden world? People learn how to cope with their disease and to catch the warning signs for increased nervousness. People with GAD hold down jobs and raise families. However, when the disease threatens to disrupt a person's life, he must seek prompt attention to deal with the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. It can begin at any time in life, so someone should not be surprised to see the condition arises during middle age or even later. Many times, the worry can lead to substance abuse, which only compounds the problem. Psychotherapy can offer help in dispelling the worst cycles of the worry. Sometimes the patient has a combination of psychological problems so the answer to living in health may not be easy. If the substance abuse becomes too difficult, the patient must wait until he has conquered this problem before taking treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.
Anyone can experience more than one bout of GAD. If so, then when another one arises, the patient must be honest with his physician and mention that he has had the disease and which medications he took to alleviate the indications. This honesty brings about greater healing. Doctors often prescribe antidepressants to help the afflicted one deal with the depression that often accompanies this condition. These medications often take four to six weeks to take effect, so the one who suffers from the condition must be patient while the medication works. Cognitive behavior therapy often is an answer for those with symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. Cognitive behavior therapy helps people change their destructive patterns of behavior, supplanting them with more acceptable patterns of behavior. The therapy includes facing fears, sometime first through situations on video tape and audio recording, but later in face to face situations. This therapy has success only as long as the patient is willing to undergo the therapy and make the necessary changes. Otherwise, the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder will fail. When taking medications prescribed for this condition, the patient needs to follow a certain protocol.
The physician must know about any over the counter drugs taken on a regular basis. Alternative therapies must also be mentioned in case they conflict with medical treatments. Usually, it takes some time to determine which medications work the best with a certain person, so time trials will be indicated. Normally, someone who feels he has the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder will make an appointment with the family doctor. After this doctor does some tests and takes a history, he will recommend a specialist that deals with GAD. Most insurance plans will cover this disorder for a certain amount of time. The insured should check his policy before seeing a doctor to find out what fees and payments will be needed.
The opposite of anxiousness is joy. "Strengthened with al might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering, with joyfulness." (Colossians 1:11) Even though a person has the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder, a life can still be filled with joy. It takes some perseverance and some professional help to overcome the feelings associated with this condition. But in time the condition will improve, giving the sufferer relief from the affliction. There are many self-help groups that will come alongside someone who is undergoing therapy and suffering with nervousness. One of the greatest assets that this person has is his family. Many times, the family can benefit from counseling also to show how to break the cycle of depression and anxiousness. Today, many groups are continuing research into GAD, and breakthroughs are expected any day. As scientists learn more about the brain, more sophisticated medications and therapies are developed.
