Anxiety & Depression Therapy

Anxiety disorders are characterised by feelings of anxiety and fear. Anxiety is worry about future events, while fear is a reaction to current unpleasant events. These feelings in combination may cause erratic heart rate and shakiness. Prolonged exposure to anxiety, sadness, loss and anger contribute to depression which further interferes with a person’s daily activity. A total of 19% of the average adult aged over 20 suffers from depression knowingly or unknowingly. People with inherited comorbidity (like diabetes, arthritis, asthma and cardiovascular diseases etc) and episodes of depression have worsened their state of health. There is no single person who can be credited for the discovery of depression, However there are many great thinkers whose ideas continue to contribute to our knowledge what depression and anxiety disorder really is?. During mesopotamia civilisation, depression was considered as a spiritual problem rather than any physical condition, Hence it was treated by priests rather than physicians by physical restraints(beating) and starvation. In History the term “Hysteria” was coined as Anxiety during greek era(480-323 BC). They call Hysteria a woman’s biological part “uterus”, Some male philosophers believed that accumulation of too much women semen is poisonous and that is what led them to do abnormal activities. “Sex” was considered as ultimate cure.

During the early Renaissance the women who were prone to Hysteria were considered as “Witches”. Being vocal about the anxiety problem at that time, were used against them and being tortured in Spain and face execution in Britain or burning at stake in Scotland in the name of “Witch Hunting”. However greek and roman doctors believed depression was a biological and psychological illness, they intervened patients by therapeutic methods such as gymnastics, massage, diet, music, baths, and a medication containing donkey’s milk for treatment. Feeling anxious at certain times in life is normal and healthy. Our feelings inform us about many things and anxiety and depression is our body’s natural response to stress or uneven change. Anxiety symptoms can show up in panic attacks and social phobias. Anxiety and depression symptoms include unable to control feelings, loss of motor control and helplessness which interferes with irregular sleep patterns, emotional temperament, short attention span, body aches, muscle tension, shortness of breath etc. Ignorance towards anxiety and depression increases anxiety and consequences ten fold. Everyone becomes a psychologist when we tell them about breakdown and emotional instability. We all know healthy eating, exercising, good sleep helps with easing off the stress, but in order to practice such habits we need to sort things which are going on inside. Anxiety is the activation of the flight and fight system- the system our body uses to keep our body safe from harm, Nervousness while confronting something isn’t anxiety at all. Anxiety and Depression is when you get that nervousness when there is no fear.
