Mental health is an important aspect for every individual. although there are apparent degrees of difficulty for each type of mental illness, each has its own hardships. One common mental illness is anxiety which proves to be a challenging stone to overturn.
A recent study has revealed that science can be used to cope with signs of anxiety, preventing a person from possibly falling into depression.
Restlessness, fear, and the inability to focus on the task at hand are the usual ways that anxiety presents itself. Most of the time, people who are easily irritated or find it hard to sleep at night could be having an anxiety attack. In most social situations, people dealing with anxiety find it hard to get through a conversation. They constantly feel like they are being judged making it very difficult for them to strike a conversation or make it last. Stuttering, blushing, and sweating is three symptoms that someone is having an anxiety attack.
A person's way of dealing with life or handling things on their own shows a direct impact with the level of anxiety that one can feel. Self-help books and programs encourage people with anxiety to tweak the way they deal with everyday issues, which can manage the anxiety they are feeling. However, this is easier said than done.
In scientific research conducted by the University of Cambridge, scientists report that when it seems as if life is out of control, the best thing for a person to do is to let go. The study was presented at the 30th European Congress of Neuropsychopharmacology in Paris. The researchers explained that whenever people are feeling anxiety over doing something new, the best way to deal with fear is to reassure themselves that it is alright to do new activities badly. The reason behind this is that when people don't have to worry about how something is done, they can decide fast which then catapults them from going right through with the activity.
People often wonder how they could do something "perfectly" and then they wait for the "perfect" time to get it done. This kind of mindset leads to procrastination, delays and even cause people to not do it altogether. All of which leads to anxiety.
Battling mental illnesses could be difficult as it requires a strong will. Luckily, science and professionals are great backups that people can count on.
