People who suffer from anxiety often feel apprehensive and are
worriers. They may experience spontaneous panic
attacks, irritability, an increased need for sleep and problems
concentrating. Many highly stressed people experience anxiety.
Case studies of stress reduction programmes, such
as the stress counseling service provided by Poole Hospital NHS
Trust, indicate that generalised anxiety and depression are the
most common reasons offered by employees using these services
and that reducing stress results in a significant reduction in
these symptoms.
A range of interventions are available to help people suffering
from anxiety disorder including medication, herbal remedies
prescribed by a qualfied medical herbalist, talking therapies
and self-help programmes such as the online CBT programmes
provided by the NHS. If you are using herbal preparations please ensure
these are professionally prescribed. This will ensure
you are taking a blend that has been prescribed specifically for
you, thereby maximising the positive benefit gained from
using herbs whilst ensuring the herbs work with any presribed
medication you may be taking. At times it may feel
like you will never get through this, but it's important to
know that people do get better and they stay better.
Research indicates that the psychological talking therapies are
at least as effective as anti-anxiety medication. If
the anxiety or depression is so severe that it is impacting your
health and quality of life, it is important that you seek the
support of your GP or a suitably qualified health professional.
