anxiety disorder biological perspective

What i can tell you is that Anxiety is NOT a disease, illness, or biological condition you inherit or contract. It's also not a result of a chemical imbalance or biological problem in the brain. ANd this is my conclusion . The chemical imbalance theory as a cause for anxiety and depressive disorders never was true. In fact, no experiment has ever shown that anyone has an ‘imbalance’ of any neurotransmitters or any other brain chemicals. The entire theory was hypothetical.

Hello all, looking for some perspective on the following event. Went with my husband to the shopping mall and someone walking in a hurry hit me with something in my leg. Looked to see what it was and got panicked when realised that what looked like to be a drug addict scraped me in my leg with some bags she was carrying while she was walking to search for left overs from others people trays.

There is much disagreement of the exact causes of BPD but it is believed to be a genetic or biological disorder that effects the same area of the brain as Bipolar. Alot of times, but not always, abuse and neglect or another tramatic events in childhood can be a cause. 2/3 of the people that have been dx with BPD suffered from childhood abuse, neglect, death of a parent or another trauma event during childhood. thus enviromental issues do contribute to BPD.

Anxiety has that affect. Heart racing, ringing in ears, cloudy head. I agree, get your ears checked just in case. Sometimes an ear infection can throw off our equilibriums. I would also suggest going to talk w/ someone about the issues you are dealing with right now. Good luck and keep us posted.

I have an 11 year old step son with opposition behavior disorder and adhd. He is constantly acting out in school. Cleared classrooms because of his behavior. It's a daily thing, but he is fine at home mostly as I hold him accountable for his actions. He rarely get a swat, since he doesn't get his way he told the school shrink he had been beaten and had a small bruise, barely the size of a pinky.

I wasn't quite sure what category to put this question in, but it relates to anxiety so I thought why the heck not. Anyway, I'm a girl who just turned 15, and I've had my share of depression/anxiety in my life (don't panic though, I'm recovered now). The gist of the question is this: When I was adopted as an infant of a couple months old, my non-biological mother gave me a baby blanket, blue with teddy bears playing with balls and blocks and lollipops.

He wants a baby more than anything but I have a rair blood disorder that keeps me in and out of the hospital and I have to get blood transfusion every 3weeks. I also have epilepsy. i have talked to my doctors and they said pregnancy is not recommended but they dnt think its impossible.

My daughter, who will be 5 in June, only knows my husband (her stepfather) as her dad. The biological father is not in the picture and is a text book deadbeat. My husband and I argue about weither or not to tell her about her biological father. What is in the best interest of our daughter? She does have the biological fathers last name. Thank you!

What are your specific problems???? Problems falling asleep, waking up, staying awake???

I need advice on what to do about my almost 12 year old stepdaughter's behavior. Her history: she will be 12 in january, she lives with my husband, me , her brother, sister, and half brother.

Do you think I’m suffering from a mood disorder because the SSRI’s made me have a jittery racey anxiety?!?! This anxiety feeling is the same type of feeling you get when you take too much Wellbutrin or too much caffeine. And what do you think about the meds SSRIs vs Mood Stabilizers?

I have looked into this topic many of times, and it seems as though Dr's are not yet able to say for certain exactly what causes OCD. The easiest explanation I could find... "OCD is caused by a combination of biological, genetic, and environmental factors. Researchers have shown that changes in the level and balance of chemicals in the brain are associated with anxiety and related disorders. Research also indicates that OCD runs in families (i.e.

I have been told I have general anxiety disorder for over 10 years and really have not done much. When I exercise alot I feel better so I assume that helps. I have read waht it says about it and I do not worry exessively, it does not interfere with my job, but lately in the last 3 years, I can tell i am changing.

Now the most import aspect of perspective begins, learning to deal with the disorder. There are now many aspect of perception to deal with. Society in general, friends, loved one’s, and one’s own self image are all matters of perception with which we must deal.

I am 48 years old. I have a lifelong panic/anxiety disorder, have had it since my earliest memory. I too obsess specifically about health-related issues. I spent most of my young years getting obsessively x-rayed, fluor-oscopied, and otherwise examined for nothing at all. Yesterday, I had a brief moment where I thought I had found skin cancer on my body, so I had to quickly turn off that mode of thinking or I would have been looking up photos on the Internet for the next hour.

You could be having an entity called delayed phase syndrome, where in the biological clock is reset and occurs late. It is a circadian rhythm disorder. There is a circadian rhythm for all living organisms. It is a 24 hour cycle rhythm and the biological clock within that individual adapts to this rhythm. This can be reset by bright light therapy, sleeping pills and sometimes by sleep debt.

in short...NO...if it has any effect at all it will be minimal and it actually makes anxiety alot worse when you initially take it. the first 2-4 week anxiety is actually increased. it's a stimulanting drug for the first few weeks. wellbutrin is actually the EXACT same medicine as zyban. the drug they use to try to get people to stop smoking cigarettes with. i've heard of times it's been effective with other meds, like another ssri or some benzo's.

His mother suffered from anxiety. As did his brother. Now I am sufferer. Biological? I think at times it must be there somewhere as part of the genetic makeup. Passed on down the family line as such. Or is this family just a one off family. Only difference between myself and all other sufferers that have been in this family is drink. They all drank to rid themselves of their fears. Didn't do any of them much good. That was their way. I don't drink.

ve had anxiety disorder for my whole life, since I was about 4 years old. I went to a mental hospital a few months ago, but I thought I've been recovering really well... It's been a horrible mess, having this disorder takes a lot away from me.

re having anxiety or panic disorder. I am beginning to wonder if panic disorder was invented by egotictical doctors who , rather then be wrong or not have an answer, would rather add insult to injury then to actually have to look for the reason for peoples problems. So many disorders are out there and yet so many people are given the disorder panic attack or anxiety even when later on it was found that they had something else. I think people should start questioning this practice.

OCD, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, mood disorder, possible bipolar or depression, PTSD, ED NOS. Among a few other things. And over the past few months I have torn my boyfriend apart, taken my problems out on him and its to the point of he told me i needed to get help or we couldn't be together anymore. I love him and don't want to go back to rehab but i want to make this work, i just don't know how to go about it.
