Anxiety is one of the necessary emotions of a human being. But there exists a fine line between positive anxiety and negative anxiety. Positive anxiety is for the achievement of our goals like performing well in examinations. But when positive anxiety increases beyond limits and makes us incapable of working towards our goals, it takes a form of negative anxiety. This negative anxiety is what creates anxiety disorders and hampers our physical, emotional, and mental growth as well.

My Fit Brain aids in the treatment of major types of anxiety disorders by online counseling for anxiety disorders. Experts say that anxiety is our brain’s response to challenging situations in our life. It is a natural and normal emotion. It motivates us to work harder and to stay motivated for problem-solving. But over anxiety makes us irritable. It starts interfering in the functioning of our body as the brain starts sending stress signals to our organs. Gradually it affects our work, school, and social life. So treatment of anxiety disorders is quite essential. You must contact an anxiety therapist to prevent anxiety from taking over your life and actions.

Causes of Anxiety Disorders

Causes of anxiety disorder vary from person to person. It is generally caused by something stressful in a person’s life. Anxiety is triggered by a single event that is stressful but an anxiety disorder is caused by a series of stressful events that affect the mental health of a person. People generally respond well to therapy treatments while utilizing a medication for the same simultaneously.

Types of Anxiety Disorders

There are six major types of anxiety disorders and all show different symptoms. My Fit Brain Therapists provide treatment for all anxiety disorders via online counseling through Skype or Voice chat. The six anxiety disorders are discussed as under:

Panic Disorder

People suffering from panic disorder display sudden and unexpected attacks of fear accompanied by chest pain, sweating and choking. The patient feels that he/she is going to die or lose control over his/her body. They start avoiding social gatherings or places to avoid the display of another panic attack. Such individuals must take immediate counseling at My Fit Brain to avoid situations of repeated panic attacks again.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Patients suffering from obsessive compulsory disorder indulge in some compulsive behavior or activity or thoughts. They feel unable to resist doing such activities. In some cases, it is normal to double-check the things for your safety like turning the gas stove or checking your car lock at parking or calling your dear ones at night when they are traveling. But when such activities become so excessive that they interfere in your normal routine and make you unable to lead your normal life, then, it becomes necessary to consult a therapist.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

People suffering from PTSD develop a feeling that some life-threatening event is going to happen. For instance, they fear about war, death, assault, rape, natural disaster, or plane crash. In normal life, such fears come under normal stress but in PTSD, they lead to a state of shock and start causing many problems at home, office, and other important places.

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)

It is quite normal to have stage fright or to get conscious during an interview or debate or group discussion. But SAD gives overwhelming nervousness and makes the patient too shy to be at social gatherings. They fear being judged by others and become unable to lead a normal life as a result. Thus, SAD makes their fears unreasonable and over-excessive at times.

Specific Phobias

Specific phobia relates to fear of a specific situation or thing or animal etc. For instance, people have a phobia for water, height, snakes etc. This anxiety disorder forces a person to go beyond limits to avoid situations or things that give a feeling of phobia.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is worrying about daily activities. People suffering from this disorder spend their whole day worrying about one thing or another. They anticipate danger in everything and stay over-concerned about money, health, safety, work, or other issues. This condition affects the health of the brain gradually and leads to other problems like body pain, headache, diabetes, insomnia, etc.

Treatment of Anxiety Disorder

My Fit Brain therapists provide following treatment for anxiety disorder

• Cognitive behavior therapy identifies the thoughts of patients suffering from an anxiety disorder. They aim at correcting the thought process and leading such a person towards a positive attitude towards life.

• Exposure therapy

This therapy makes the patient confront his fears as per the advice of the therapist. It involves the active participation of a family member or friend to make such a person feel safe. Through repeated exposure, the fear reduces over time, and then, with counseling, the patient is made to believe that he can face such situations strongly without any help.
