Causes of Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety doesn’t really have a direct cause, like many other mental health disorders. However, researchers believe that anxiety disorders stem from environmental and genetic factors and brain chemistry.
Genetic Causes
You’re at greater risk of having anxiety disorders if you have a family history of these disorders. Besides, individuals with traits of shyness tend to be more prone to anxiety disorders.
Environmental Causes
Adults who experience a traumatic event are prone to anxiety. Likewise, children who grow up experiencing abuse or trauma are likely to develop anxiety disorders.
Brain Chemistry
Researchers continue to reveal the connection between anxiety and brain chemistry. Neurotransmitters are chemicals found in the brain that allows nerve cells to communicate. When these chemicals are imbalanced, they can cause anxiety and depression.
Treatment for Anxiety
Anxiety disorders are treatable. Many people experience relief and improvement in their quality of life with the help of professional care like the team at Omega Recovery. The main treatments for anxiety disorders include:
Medication
Medication can ease the signs and symptoms of anxiety disorders but does not “cure” them. While a particular drug might work for one person, it may have little to no effect on another person. That’s why you require the assistance of medical providers or licensed professionals. Medical providers can diagnose your problem and recommend the right medication for you.
Therapy
There are several evidence-based therapies used for treating anxiety disorders. These therapies are tailored to the individual’s unique symptoms and treatment needs. Therapies can vary from Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to group counseling.
