Anxiety disorders are running rampant in the United States these days. Approximately 40 million Americans suffer daily with this seemingly incurable "disease". It is by far, the most common mental illness plaguing Americans today. The U.S. spends approximately $42 billion a year trying to help people with the disorder. Because it is so consuming of your thoughts and life, someone suffering is 3-5 times more likely to go to the doctor and 6 times more likely to be hospitalized for psychiatric disorders, than someone who isn't suffering. It is a very serious problem, and one that can be cured.
Most people who come to terms with the fact that they are indeed suffering from anxiety disorders decide they should see their medical doctor and get on a medication. Because after all, we are taught from early on that meds are supposed to be the end-all, cure-all for any problem, right? NO! There are plenty of other ways you can get help and reclaim your life without using harmful medications that can cause:
· weight gain
· thoughts of suicide
· sexual side effects
· headaches
· nausea
· upset stomach
· dizziness
Although going med-free may take you a little longer, if you follow the right program, you will be cured. And that is something that none of the drug companies can promise you. That is because medications do not get to the root of the problem. And in this case it is usually something in addition to a chemical imbalance.
How do I know if I have this disorder? Well, are you having any or all of the following symptoms? If yes, then you may very well be.
· Shortness of breath
· Heart palpitations/pounding
· Chest pain
· Nausea or stomach pain
· Hot/cold flashes
· Fear of losing control
· Flushing
Many people who suffer often avoid social situations for fear of having a panic attack, or any of the above symptoms. In doing so, they are cutting themselves short of enjoying life, and can also throw themselves into the grips of depression because they have isolated themselves and now feel all alone. Life it too short to live like this. Learn how to end this once and for all, and get your life back. You won't be sorry you did.
