If you have found this page then you probably are interested in knowing more about anxiety, collective anxiety or shyness, stress, worry, and linked problems or disorders, what they are and how to get over them. You are in the right place! I am a Santa Rosa based psychologist and psychotherapist who was formally the head of the Anxiety Disorder Best Practices for all of Northern California Kaiser-Permanente Psychiatry. I have some very prominent information to share with you!
Fact: Anxiety Disorders are the most tasteless reasoning health question in the Us!
Over the policy of a lifetime, Anxiety Disorders will work on 25 to 30% of the entire Us population! There are 6 traditional anxiety disorders: uncomplicated phobia, Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, collective Anxiety Disorder, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (Ocd). There are also Adjustment Disorders with Anxious Features (also very common).

Anxiety is an out of control fear response
Anxiety is linked to fear, a basic emotion which we all share. If humans had no fear, humankind would not survive! In this sense, fear is adaptive and has many forms: panic, worry, apprehension, nervousness, and even feeling stressed out. Fear is supposed to serve a beneficial purpose and is nature's way of getting your mind and body ready to face some type of actual or genuine threat. A tasteless fear response causes your attentiveness to narrow onto what you are afraid of and also causes your body to come to be expensed with adrenaline to "flee or fight". Anxiety, on the other hand, is maladaptive and causes a reaction similar or selfsame to a fear response but... There is little or nothing to actually be afraid of! Anxiety causes you to overreact to situations, people, sensations, and even memories! Anxiety is an actually triggered and misplaced reaction.
What causes anxiety? Can anxiety lead to depression?
Anxiety is primarily caused by a mixture of predisposing factors that interact with your environment. Predisposing factors contain past histories of trauma or abuse, problems in your early emotional association with caregivers, modeling of anxious behaviors by caregivers, domestic violence, being bullied or picked on, ongoing work linked stress, history of accidents or curative illnesses, genes and temperament, and other factors. With these predispositions in place you are more vulnerable to developing problematic anxiety or even anxiety disorders in reaction to your environment like during periods of stress or adversity, life transitions (both negative and positive), losses, major life events, etc. Once anxiety has started you may experience a very strong urge to avoid situations, people, sensations, and/or memories linked with the anxiety. Unfortunately avoidance only works in the short term-you may feel relief when you avoid, but you keep the whole cycle going by not learning to confront the sources of the fear directly. Every time you avoid due to anxiety, your world shrinks a little. Over time this avoidance can lead to other problems including collective isolation and depression!
How do I get over anxiety?
The best way to overcome anxiety is to learn to confront your fears and examine the factors that lead up to the anxiety. If you have had abuse or trauma this needs to be addressed as well. Anxiety saving means learning to face things and to stop avoiding. Drugs can sometimes be used temporarily, but long term use can cause side effects and reinforce the tendency to avoid, thereby never actually addressing the true causes of your anxiety. If you need help, you should get it sooner rather than later!
