Anxiety Treatment in Jaipur

What is Anxiety?

Have you ever had that feeling, where you suddenly start feeling restless, nervous or scared for no apparent reason? Yes? In that case, you might have fallen prey to anxiety. Anxiety can be described as a persistent and prolonged feeling of stress, worry and fear that may or may not be caused by a specific trigger. We all experience anxiety. In fact, it is a good thing that we do, as it enhances our efficiency in stressful situations (this kind of positive anxiety is called eustress). However, anxiety becomes a problem when it turns into a disorder (negative anxiety called distress). An anxiety disorder is counter-productive as opposed to eustress, as it interferes with our capacity to perform day-to-day activities and makes us unproductive.

Major Symptoms and Causes of Anxiety

Symptoms

The symptoms of anxiety have dual-aspects: physiological and psychological. Some common indicators that a person may be suffering from anxiety are:
  • Restlessness: Anxiety often triggers feelings of constant worry, making it impossible to relax for an individual.
  • Difficulty Concentrating: It is extremely hard to focus on the task at hand because anxiety causes your mind to run in 10 different directions all at once.
  • Irritability: A person suffering from anxiety is easily disturbed by the smallest of inconveniences and can’t keep his mind calm.
  • Increased Heart Rate: A rapid or pounding heartbeat is a common giveaway of anxiety.
  • Shortness of Breath: Anxious individuals may have feelings of breathlessness, claustrophobia, or a sensation that the surroundings are closing in on them.
  • Sweating: Excessive perspiration, especially in stressful situations, is another physical symptom of anxiety.
  • Tension: People with anxiety often experience tightness of muscles, particularly in the neck, shoulders, and jaw region.
  • Dizziness: People may experience light-headedness, blurred vision, nausea, or even fainting spells during episodes of anxiety.

Causes

Anxiety may be caused by a variety of factors, whose duration and intensity vary from person to person. However, there is some commonality in them. These are some commonly found causes in the medical history of anxiety patients:
  • Genetics: A family history of anxiety or other mental health conditions can increase the likelihood of a person developing an anxiety disorder.
  • Environmental Factors: Highly stressful life events such as trauma, loss, or major transitions can trigger anxiety-related issues in vulnerable individuals.
  • Biological Factors: Neurological or hormonal imbalances (e.g. in serotonin and dopamine) can affect mood regulation and lead to feelings of anxiety.
  • Substance Abuse: The misuse of substances like alcohol, medications, and narcotics can lead to anxiety issues in the future.

Classification of Anxiety Disorders

Based on the symptoms, triggers and outward display of anxious behaviour, anxiety can be classified into four types:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): This disorder is characterized by feelings of anxiety caused by a variety of things without any particular trigger. A person may feel anxious right after getting up in the morning, with no plausible reason as to why he/she is anxious.

Panic Disorder: Panic Disorder involves sudden episodes of intense fear that can include symptoms like chest pain, difficulty breathing, dizziness, and a sense of impending doom. These episodes are called panic attacks. They can be set off by any triggers present in the individual’s environment (for example, sensory overload, getting into a fight, etc.).

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): An individual suffering from SAD experiences a significant drop in productivity levels during particular seasons of the year. This is accompanied by prolonged feelings of anxiety and depressive tendencies during that particular season.

Specific Phobias: A person with a specific phobia has an intense, irrational fear of a particular object or situation (e.g., arachnophobia, the fear of spiders). This often leads to him/her going out of their way to avoid any encounter with that trigger, leading to disrupted normal functioning.

Treatment of Anxiety

Anxiety issues are usually treated by two approaches: therapy (physical and cognitive) and medical. The selection of alternatives varies from person to person and at the discretion of the doctor/psychologist.
Some commonly used treatments to manage anxiety are:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is often considered to be the most effective treatment for anxiety. As a part of CBT, the distressed individual takes a closer look at his/her own thoughts, beliefs and patterns of thinking and behaviour. With the help of a psychologist, he/she is able to identify the problematic patterns and work to eradicate them. Anxiety is one such negative pattern of thinking which can be remedied using CBT.

Manual Therapy

Treatment by Manual Therapy introduces various positive changes in the physical life and routines of individuals. One can target specific areas of tightness and discomfort through massage therapy, osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), foot reflexology and acupressure to alleviate the physical symptoms of anxiety and promote overall relaxation. If you are based in Jaipur and need a solution to your anxiety issues, a good idea would be to contact the renowned physiotherapist, Dr. Himanshu Mathur (Associate Professor in the Department of Physiotherapy at Jaipur National University and a PhD Scholar specializing in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy) at Jaipur Rehab.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR)

Progressive muscle relaxation is a technique in which individuals are guided by therapists to systematically tense and then relax different groups of muscles. This exercise helps reduce muscle tension, which is common in people with anxiety. Through Dr. Himanshu Mathur’s PMR program, one can also increase body awareness, helping individuals recognize when they are physically tense and learn how to release that tension.

Physical Remedies

A regular exercise regimen goes a long way in alleviating anxiety-related problems. Adopting regular physical activity into your routine is your battle with anxiety half won. The practice of mindfulness, yoga, meditation, breathing exercises and maintaining a clean and natural diet are all very potent remedies to fight against anxiety.

Medications

Several types of medications are used to help relieve symptoms, depending on the type of anxiety disorder. In limited circumstances, a doctor may prescribe anti-depressants or other types of medications, such as sedatives. These medications are for short-term relief of anxiety symptoms and are not intended to be used long-term.
