It isn't simple to identify who suffers from anxiousness and who does not. The fact of the matter is that lots of people who endure anxiety do it in silence and would not readily admit towards the reality.
Those who suffer from anxiety usually maintain silence about it since it appears to be shameful to admit to suffering from something like anxiousness. The trouble is that most people who don't endure it themselves find it tough to believe that nervousness is really a 'real' disorder. After all – if you're experiencing panic and anxiousness for no apparent reason you are either slightly insane or are addicted to getting attention!
Sadly this makes it hard for people who experience anxiousness to come forward and admit to it, something which will make it simpler for them to obtain assistance in the long run.
This also means that a surprising number and type of people suffer from nervousness; people which you may never suspect! This could possibly be a family member or a popular celebrity. Some popular people in history apparently suffered from nervousness – people such as Sir Isaac Newton, Abraham Lincoln and even Sigmund Freud. All of these people were examined by the doctors of their time but nothing physically could be found wrong with them and most of their afflictions remained undiagnosed until today, a time were we are a lot more open to, and knowledgeable of the disorder.
But even today we find it hard to comprehend anxiety disorders– is it genetic in nature? Is it 'all in the mind', can it be treated by medication or should alternative techniques be employed?
What looks to be clear is that anxiety disorders do have a genetic basis - in other words, a predisposition for general anxiousness could possibly be inherited from parents, but it the environment plays a considerable role – to put it differently, the circumstances surrounding upbringing, as well as the circumstances in which individuals would find themselves. For instance, people with a high exposure to the public eye as well as pressure to achieve, such as celebrities, or political figures, could very easily develop anxiety symptoms if they were genetically predisposed to it.
Needless to say within the contemporary age that we live in there is a pill for everything, and anxiety disorders may be treated with medication – with the negative aspect being the hazards of addiction and the medicine losing its effectiveness through increased tolerance to the medication.
With that in mind, natural solutions to treating anxiety must always be researched. These include relaxation techniques, some natural plant based medication and other methods such as cognitive-behavioral techniques or other treatment aimed towards working with the individual on a spiritual or psychological level.
Luckily our contemporary procedures of treatment are usually very much a lot more effective than those suffered by people in days gone by. Alfred Lord Tennyson underwent Hydropathic therapy which was dependent on the principle of utilizing water to treat health conditions and included among other things, continual wet sheets and hot and cold baths.
Today the individual who suffers from anxiety has a much wider range of alternatives to choose from and must investigate the sort of therapy that will suit his personality and his requirements.
