Anxiety disorder, formerly known as anxiety neurosis, is a neurotic disorder characterized by extensive and persistent anxiety or recurrent panic disorder, often accompanied by symptoms of autonomic nervous system such as chest tightness, dizziness, palpitation, dyspnea, dry mouth, frequent urination, hyperhidrosis and dyskinesia. It can be divided into two forms: generalized anxiety and panic disorder.
Genetic factors: individuals with anxious personality are prone to anxiety under the influence of pressure and bad social factors, and the characteristics of anxious personality are closely related to heredity. Research shows that the prevalence rate of close relatives of anxiety patients is 15%, which is significantly higher than that of ordinary residents (5%).
Neurobiochemical factors: Lactic acid theorists believe that excessive lactic acid can cause metabolic acidosis, and a series of related sublimation changes caused by it will make anxious individuals appear anxious. According to the neurotransmitter theory, the normal and acute balance of neurotransmitter systems such as adrenergic system, dopaminergic system, 5- hydroxytryptamine system and γ -aminobutyric acid in the central nervous system can affect the occurrence of anxiety.
Psychological factors: According to behaviorism theory, the onset of anxiety is a conditioned reflex to the previous terrible situation obtained through acquired learning, that is, anxiety is a conditioned reflex formed by fear of a certain environment or situation stimulus. Psychoanalysts believe that excessive internal conflicts threaten their own results and lead to anxiety.
There is a difference between anxiety and anxiety disorder. Don't turn normal anxiety into illness.
The anxiety of normal people is an experience that almost everyone has had, and it is a nervous feeling and unpleasant emotion when facing a certain situation. This kind of anxiety is based on the actual situation. I can clearly know the source of anxiety, and what I am worried about is also in line with the objective law.
The anxiety state of patients with anxiety disorder is different. There are no sufficient reasons for their anxiety, but they often have a series of symptoms such as inexplicable persistent mental tension, panic, dizziness, chest tightness, palpitation, sweating and so on. Even if there is some inducement, the severity of its symptoms is obviously not commensurate with the inducement.
Anxiety is not a pathological condition, but a common emotional reaction of human beings. Most people will have anxiety symptoms when they encounter various pressures.
But at present, many people in society will show a chronic anxiety state when facing real problems, which is called generalized anxiety disorder. The sick people spread to children, college students and so on. The prevalence rate of generalized anxiety disorder in children is about 3%, that in adults is 10.8%, and children and adolescents begin to show symptoms between 10- 14 years old.
Generalized anxiety disorder affects people's physical and mental health, causing patients to fall into serious mental and physical pain, damaging brain thinking, memory, innovative function and social activities, and even taking extreme actions.

Anxiety is caused by many reasons. Psychologically, emotionally, multiple pressures can't be relieved, and thoughts are entangled in it for a long time, which leads to nervous disorder, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system disorder, causing anxiety symptoms, insomnia, palpitations, chest tightness, fear and panic. Chronic diseases that have not been cured for a long time can not bear the pressure, lack of qi and blood, and poor brain support, which will lead to neurasthenia and anxiety symptoms, as well as personality reasons, family, marriage, social work and so on.
How is anxiety caused?
Anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, hypochondria, phobia, depression and other mental diseases are all formed under the same principle, and generally have the following factors.
One is sensitive, suspicious and insecure personality, which is caused by many disappointments, many blows, many accusations and lack of self-confidence in childhood. Secondly, there were several exciting and frightening events. Third, these stimulating events correspond to unreasonable cognition. Fourth, when you are afraid, you are catching up with nervousness and even fear.
For example, a person who is afraid of ghosts and gods and has superstitious thoughts has heard ghost stories and watched horror videos since childhood, and has the idea (cognition) of ghosts in the world. Once he needed to go out on business at night, and it was dark outside. If there is another gale, he will be more afraid. This is a rabbit (cat, dog, fox, etc.). ) suddenly ran out of his side, and then there was a strange sound, which may be this time.
The cause of mental illness is not complicated. As long as you understand conditioned reflex and that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, they are all made up by people with ulterior motives. After repeated suggestions to change automatic thinking, symptoms can be eliminated. And a sensitive, suspicious and insecure personality needs a long time, a little change, freedom and confidence, and inner strength.
Anxiety is something you must do, but you feel that you can't finish it. This is very difficult.
If you live in your comfort zone and you have solutions to all the problems, you will certainly not be anxious, and you can calm down and learn other things. But if you jump out of your comfort zone and do something you have to do, which may have a bad influence on you, you will be very anxious.
