Free Video: ANXIETY DISORDERS a Good General Talk

I am a fellow patient advocate and know well about anxiety disorders, having experienced them myself. Do I still suffer from this emotional neurosis today? Yes, but to a much lesser degree than when I was younger (now age-59, this year of 2022). Anxiety, whether chronic (generalized but strong) or acute (panic attacks), can always be diminished in an individual, through counseling and or medications. In spite of what some individuals might say about these methods of treatment, they are absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about or to be ashamed of. Many celebrities and sports figures have suffered chronic anxiety and panic attacks and in fact, it has been shown that anxiety sufferers are some of our most creative and greatest self-achievers in society.

Unfortunately, until one gets help for anxiety neurosis, they can also have feelings of being stressed-out, plus depression will also develop to some extent until coping skills are achieved. Do people suffering a chronic anxiety disorder go insane or become psychotic from the condition? This is literally unheard of because "psychosis" and "neurosis" are not the same and do not crossover into one another in the true sense of one transitioning into the other. They can co-exist (medical term - "comorbid") but even this is rare in regard to people with anxiety-neurosis. If literally defined, it is psychosis that is a "mental illness" and chronic anxiety, with or without panic attacks is an "emotional disorder" (imbalanced emotions).

In this video, I also talk about chronic anxiety "unreality symptoms" (depersonalization and derealization). Meaning the anxiety sufferer at times feels unreal or their surroundings can at times feel unreal, which is not the same as losing touch with reality in the true sense. Other things covered can help give those seeking an initial understanding of severe and/or ongoing anxiousness conditions, a general insight (by an anxiety disorder patient).
