YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN"T HIDE

WHEN THE ANXIETY STARTS YOU WANT TO RUN,BUT WHERE CAN YOU GO? YOU HAVE TO STOP SOMETIME AND FACE IT.

ANXIETY IS AS MUCH A PART OF LIFE AS EATING AND SLEEPING.UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES,ANXIETY IS BENEFICIAL IT HEIGHTENS ALERTNESS AND READIES THE BODY FOR ACTION. FEARS ARE NOT NORMAL,HOWEVER WHEN THEY BECOME OVERWHELMING AND INTERFERE WITH DAILY LIVING.THEY ARE SYMPTOMS OF AN ANXIETY DISORDER,THE MOST COMMON AND MOST SUCCESSFULLY TREATED FORM OF MENTAL ILLNESS.AS A GROUP,ANXIETY DISORDERS AFFLICT 8.3 PERCENT OF AMERICANS.SYMPTOMS CAN BE SO SEVERE THAT PATIENTS ARE ALMOST TOTALLY DISABLED--TOO TERRIFIED TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES,TO ENTER THE ELEVATOR THAT TAKES THEM TO THEIR OFFICES,TO ATTEND PARTIES OR TO SHOP FOR FOOD.

DO I PANIC? DO I HAVE ANXIETY? STRESS?

WELL JUST WAIT TILL
YOU HAVE A PANIC
ATTACK,YOU'LL SEE
WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!!!!

"ANXIETY DISORDERS" REFERS TO A GROUP OF ILNESSES: GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDERS,PHOBIAS,PANIC DISORDERS, OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDERS AND POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. WHEN PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM ANXIETY DISORDERS TALK ABOUT THEIR CONDITION, THEY OFTEN INCLUDE THESE DESCRIPTIONS:

ARE YOU LIKE ME,WORRY ALOT? THINKING
SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN? I'VE
ALWAYS HAD SO MUCH BAD LUCK. WORRY
WORRY WORRY,ALL THE TIME.

WORRY AND STRESS IS GOING TO PUT ME IN AN EARLY GRAVE. MY BAD LUCK. CLOUD
FOLLOWS ME AND WATCHES TO MAKE SURE
MY LUCK NEVER CHANGES.THAT IS VERY
DEPRESSING,BECAUSE IT NEVER DOES.

IN ADDITION,PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM ANXIETY DISORDERS ARE OFTEN APPREHENSIVE AND WORRY THAT SOMETHING BAD MAY HAPEN TO THEMSELVES OR LOVED ONES. THEY OFTEN FEEL IMPATIENT,IRRITABLE AND EASILY DISTRACTED.

WHAT IS ANXIETY

YOU REMEMBER WAITING
................................................
FOR THAT BIG SHOT?

LIKE THE ONE THERE ?

YOU CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF ANXIETY BY LOOKING BOTH AT WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT IS NOT.FOR EXAMPLE,ANXIETY CAN BE DISTINGUISHED FROM FEAR IN SEVERAL WAYS.WHEN YOU ARE AFRAID,YOUR FEAR IS USUALLY DIRECTED TOWARD SOME CONCRETE,EXTERNAL OBJECT OR SITUATION. THE EVENT THAT YOU FEAR USUALLY IS WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF POSSIBILITY. YOU MIGHT FEAR NOT MEETING A DEADLINE,FAILING AN EXAM, BEING UNABLE TO PAY YOUR BILLS,OR BEING REJECTED BY SOMEONE YOU WANT TO PLEASE. WHEN YOU EXPERIANCE ANXIETY,ON THE OTHER HAND,YOU OFTEN CAN'T SPECIFY WHAT IT IS YOUR ANXIOUS ABOUT. THE FOCUS OF ANXIETY IS MORE INTERNAL THAN EXTERNAL. IT SEEMS TO BE A RESPONSE TO A VAGUE,DISTANT,OR EVEN UNRECOGNIZED DANGER. YOU MIGHT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT "LOSING CONTROL" OF YOURSELF OR SOME SITUATION. OR YOU MIGHT FEEL A VAGUE ANXIETY ABOUT "SOMETHING BAD HAPPENING" ANXIETY AFFECTS YOUR WHOLE BEING. IT IS A PHYSIOLOGICAL,BEHAVIORAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL REACTION ALL AT ONCE. ON A PHYSIOLOGICAL LEVEL,ANXIETY MAY INCLUDE BODILY REACTIONS SUCH AS RAPID HEARTBEAT,MUSCLE TENSION,QUEASINESS,DRY MOUTH,OR SWEATING. ON A BEHAVIORAL LEVEL,IT CAN SABOTAGE YOUR ABILITY TO ACT,EXPRESS YOURSELF,OR DEAL WITH CERTAIN EVERY DAY SITUATIONS. PSYCHOLOGICALLY, ANXIETY IS A SUBJECTIVE STATE OF APPREHENSION AND UNEASINESS. IN ITS MOST EXTREME FORM, IT CAN CAUSE YOU TO FEEL DETACHED FROM YOURSELF AND EVEN FEARFUL OF DYING OR GOING CRAZY.
