Panic Attacks - Is it related to Chemical Imbalance
2009-09-15 06:31:00
What is a Chemical Imbalance?We?ve heard a lot about ?chemical imbalance? as the cause of emotional distress and disturbances. Researchers have spent decades trying to get to the bottom of what causes common disorders such as anxiety, depression and ADHD, and they believe that some form of chemical imbalance is involved in some way. While the exact link between chemical imbalance and emotional disorders has not been found, clinical studies and medical observations have been able to identify a number of chemical inconsistencies that occur in individuals who report experiencing symptoms related to these disorders. Medications are used to balance and make sure the brain is receiving enough of the chemicals. When your brain is lacking in a chemical it is called a chemical imbalance. Many doctors believe that a chemical imbalance is the cause of anxiety, depression, panic attacks and numerous other mental health conditions.The most common type of biological treatment for panic attacks is...

2009-07-22 11:20:00
Does panic attack result in Weight loss/gain?A typical panic attack .....Your heart races, you chest tightens, you suddenly get breathless and reach desperately forsomething to steady your balance. Your mind swims with a million questions and thoughts.But most pressing in the mind of a panic attack victim is ?Am I going to die??Reaction by the body is only a representation of what the mind is thinking or believes about a particular situation. Fight or flight is one term used to described this.Some of the symptoms of a panic attack are similar to those of other more serious conditions such as a heart attack or stroke. The most scary part is that it is very difficult to tell if you are having a heart attack or a panic attack.Even though the signs and symptoms manifest themselves in physical form in your body such as breathlessness, dizziness, sweating, trembling or choking a panic attack will never cause death regardless of how severe it is.Numerous research has been done into the eff...

By Abbott Alison / Source: Nature.comSeverely depressed patients who do not respond to conventional therapy may be helped by deep brain stimulation (DBS), according to the most-extensive study to date of the experimental procedure.In a clinical trial in Toronto, Canada, 12 out of 20 patients who had stimulating electrodes placed in a brain area called the subcallosal cingulated gyrus showed significant improvement in their depression, with seven of them going into full remission.The benefits lasted at least a year, according to the results published this week in the journal Biological Psychiatry. Patients in the study had failed to respond to cognitive therapy, antidepressant drugs and electroconvulsant therapy.Lasting effectThe research team published results of DBS on their first six patients in 20052.

Depression Tips

1. First and foremost, ?talk?. Talking to someone close to you can go a long way in keeping away the blues. Your spouse/partner, your parents, your siblings or your close friends can be your pillar of strength during this depressive phase. Always remember? those who love you, will not judge you based on your weaknesses and will definitely give you the support you need.2. Exercise.Take a walk or jog a while.

A Quick Anxiety Relief Trick
2008-06-26 11:49:00
Today I'm going to tell you about a little trick you can use to take the edge off your anxiety, it only takes minutes to do... When you are feeling anxious your mind usually thinks forward into the future and begins worrying about what *could* happen. What follows is a sequence of thoughts where you become over focused on the worst case scenario happening. It's this very thinking that causes a lot of anxiety, creating those feelings of dread, fear and nagging tension.To counter act this some therapists have their anxiety suffering patients work out the percentage chance of that worst case scenario happening, and then use logic to try and counter act anxiety. Trying to counter act emotion with logic isn't ideal. It's the reason why men (more logical thinkers) and women (more emotional thinkers) who are in close relationships often argue. Instead of using logic, try and switch your focus and feed your brain alternative scenarios to work with. Your brain reacts to imagined images a...

Two Words That Drive Your Anxiety.....
2008-06-04 12:33:00
If you suffer from general anxiety you may find yourself saying things like: "What if I get cancer?", "What if my partner is falling out of love with me?", "What if I say something and look like an idiot?", "What if I can't meet that deadline at work?","What if I mess up that presentation?", "What if...?" All these "what ifs...?" keep anxiety stoked. When you are worrying or anxious there is a stream of these "what if...?" thoughts. So, what to do? Well there are a number of methods you can use. But I'll teach you a very simple one you can begin using today, quickly and easily. It's a two step process... 1. Become Aware. Usually these "what if...?" thoughts happen so automatically and naturally they barely register in your conscious mind, you get caught up in a sort of day-dream, or should that be day-mare! So the first step is to become *aware* of when you are caught up in the "what if...?" process. Just notice, and be aware. 2. So what...? When you become aware that you're...

Anxiety/Panic attack worries you?
2008-05-20 13:26:00
If you're like most people then a big chunk of your anxiety usually involves a lot worry. Why do we worry? Because worry allows you to use your thoughts and mind to imagine what *could* happen in the future. This can be very useful... Worry can help you work out solutions to problems that may arise. Worry can help you avoid potential tricky or dangerous situations. Worry can help motivate you. Worrying may be a way to show other people that you're responsible or caring. All this applies to most people - except people who worry a lot. Why? Because believing that worry helps means you buy into the belief, at least at some level, that "worry is good". If you suffer chronic worry then believing that worry is good or helps you is a mental trap. After all if worry was useful to you then why is it causing you so much anxiety? So long as you believe that worry is good you will never fully be able let go of anxiety. It would be like someone trying to give up smoking, but at the same t...

Holistic approaches that may be helpful for anxiety
2008-05-16 15:54:00
Reducing exposure to stressful situations can help decrease anxiety. In some cases, meditation, counseling, or group therapy can greatly facilitate this process.21 Acupuncture has been the subject of limited research as a therapy for anxiety. In an uncontrolled study, eight patients suffering from anxiety were treated with acupuncture three times per week for eight sessions. Six of the eight patients achieved good to moderate improvement.22 However, a trial of acupuncture treatment for anxiety associated with quitting smoking did not provide any evidence of benefit.23 A double-blind study of acupuncture for the treatment of anxiety associated with dental procedures reported that acupuncture and placebo were equally effective.24 Acupuncture remains unproven in the treatment of people with anxiety. A form of counseling known as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be superior to placebo for managing the symptoms of panic disorder.25 In a controlled trial, six month...

Do you ever suffer from a fearful thought?(Anxiety/Panic attack)
2008-05-09 17:53:00
Do you ever suffer from a fearful thought you can't seem to get out of your mind? So what can be done for people who suffer from fearful thoughts? To begin, lets look at how a fearful thought is powered, and then how to discharge that fearful thought quickly. Say for example you are going about your daily business when a scary thought enters your mind. Maybe you fear you are about to have an anxiety attack. Maybe it's a fear about your health? Whatever the fear, the pattern that follows is usually predictable. You start to feel a knot n your stomach as you contemplate the thought, and you get sucked into a repetitive thinking pattern of fear. The strong emotion (fear) then powers the thought. When the thought comes again, your body 'remembers' the strong emotion, and the fearful thought has an even stronger connection in your mind. You may even continue to spend the rest of your day thinking about that fear. It can become very obsessive and may even keep you from con...

Dietary changes that may be helpful for anxiety
2008-05-08 09:58:00
All sources of caffeine should be avoided, including coffee, tea, chocolate, caffeinated sodas, and caffeine-containing medications. People with high levels of anxiety appear to be more susceptible to the actions of caffeine. 1 Nutritional supplements that may be helpful for anxiety Inositol has been used to help people with anxiety who have panic attacks. Up to 4 grams three times per day was reported to control such attacks in a double-blind trial. 2 Inositol (18 grams per day) has also been shown in a double-blind trial to be effective at relieving the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. 3 An isolated double-blind trial found that supplementation with a multivitamin-mineral supplement for four weeks led to significant reductions in anxiety and perceived stress compared to placebo. 4 Many years ago, magnesium was reported to be relaxing for people with mild anxiety. 5 Typically, 200 to 300 mg of magnesium are taken two to three times per day.

Stress Management Story
2008-05-06 17:23:00
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?" The student answered ranged from 20-50gram. It doesn't matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it?s OK If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call the ambulance. It is the exact same weight, but the longer i hold it, the heavier it becomes." "If we carry our burden all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier." "What you have to do is put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again." We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. So before you go home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whate...

Does getting old have to mean worsening memory, slower reactions and fuzzy
2008-04-25 10:06:00
AROUND the age of 40, honest folks may already admit to noticing changes in their mental abilities. This is the beginning of a gradual decline that in all too many of us will culminate in full-blown dementia. If it were possible somehow to reverse it, slow it or mask it, wouldn't you? A few drugs that might do the job, known as "cognitive enhancement", are already on the market, and a few dozen others are on the way. Perhaps the best-known is modafinil. Licensed to treat narcolepsy, the condition that causes people to suddenly fall asleep, it has notable effects in healthy people too. Modafinil can keep a person awake and alert for 90 hours straight, with none of the jitteriness and bad concentration that amphetamines or even coffee seem to produce. In fact, with the help of modafinil, sleep-deprived people can perform even better than their well-rested, unmedicated selves. The forfeited rest doesn't even need to be made good.
