Herbs for anxiety

For centuries people around the globe have used herbs to reduce the apprehension and panic that is associated with anxiety problems. Regardless of whether you suffer from extreme panic attacks or just have occasional periods of disquiet the proper use of herbs as part of an ongoing treatment plan can reduce your attacks, help to remove precursors and allow you to enjoy your life more.

Self-treatment and diagnosis is never a good idea and if you find that your anxiety is causing problems in your daily life then I’ll strongly recommend that your first plan of action is to consult with a physician.

Often there are external issues, such as drug interactions or undisclosed physical illnesses, which are the main contributors to your anxiety.

Anxiety attacks, or panic attacks as some call them, will often mimic and be confused for a heart attack causing an emergency situation. Uncontrolled attacks usually mean an emergency room visit and a complete disruption of your daily routine as well as the routine of others around you.

A qualified Naturopath or natural healer can offer herbs for anxiety that may work alone or in conjunction with other more conventional therapies to control your symptoms. I’ve listed the most common herbs for anxiety below as a starting point for your research as these have proven to have the most effective calming effect on people suffering from anxiety disorders.

Herbs for Anxiety: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Kava is plant that is indigenous to the Western Pacific region and is often touted as the most effective herb for treating anxiety. While Kava is known for its ability to relax and sedate you without interfering with your mental acuity it has been known to cause liver toxicity because of poor technique and manufacturing processes.

Traditional herbal preparations have been used for centuries but modern needs have ruined this process causing government organizations like the FDA in the United States to issue warnings about its use. Some countries have completely banned its use. Traditional use requires preparations made only from the root of the plant and then not used for long uninterrupted periods of time. Because exacerbates liver conditions if you have any hepatic conditions you should avoid this herb as well as avoiding alcohol consumption when taking it. In some other countries it is banned.

If it is available in your country and you decide to take it, do not exceed the recommended dose and do not take it for more than six months. You should not take it at all if you have any liver disease or condition.

Valerian an Herb for Rest and Relaxation

This herb has been a mainstay for those suffering from insomnia and other types of sleep disorders for centuries. It is often recommended for people who have trouble sleeping. Migraine sufferers, those with mild anxiety issues and other nervous system disruptions are often able to find relief from Valerian.

Many people have reverse reactions to valerian causing them to become more restless and agitated due to their inability to metabolize the herb. However, this is only becomes apparent when you have taken the herb and noticed the symptoms. For this reason alone, valerian is not recommended for those who suffer from severe anxiety symptoms as it may trigger an incident.

Releasing Your Life with Passionflower

Passa Flora or passionflower as it is more commonly known continues to be one of the most researched herbs for anxiety because of its proven effects in a number of studies around the world. While stomach irritation remains a concern with doses of this herb, it allows people to relax and sleep better at night without causing undue drowsiness during waking hours.

Finding these preparations is relatively simple as most are available in health food stores, natural healers or online. Choosing a traditional preparation of tea, while more palatable for many, may not allow you to control the dosage for the herb you are taking. This is why I’ve chosen to recommend that those taking herbs for anxiety take them in pill or capsule forms.

Herbal preparations affect people in different ways and when starting a new treatment it is important to monitor its effect on your personal life. As with any treatment, pregnant women and nursing mothers should not take these preparations. Also since many of these herbs for anxiety are metabolized in the liver, alcohol, and other sedatives should be avoided during treatment with them.

Also make sure that you consult with your physician about any herbs you take since they may interfere with other medications he has prescribed.

Panic Attack Treatment

Finding the right panic attack treatment requires a thorough knowledge of your symptoms and the triggers that cause you to have an attack. Many frontline attempts at treating the symptoms of the attacks rely on the patient or those around them to institute behavior and environmental controls. While these simple methods are often effective, advanced or more pronounced attacks can require administering medications either on the spot or in a professional setting.

Panic Attack Treatment: Catching the Early Signs

Usually hyperventilation is one of the earliest signs of an approaching attack or event and if you catch it early it can often be controlled very simply and slow down and even stop the onset of a panic attack. Controlling this symptom requires slowing the breathing and allowing the body balance the oxygen/carbon dioxide ratio. Hyperventilating makes one feel they are out of oxygen when in reality the opposite is true. This is one of the reasons a simple treatment is to breathe into a paper bag or to put your shirt over your face and breathe back the air you are expelling. This increases the carbon dioxide and helps to restore the proper balance and relieves the anxious feeling.

However, just slowing down your breathing by slowly counting as you inhale and exhale can work just as well. This takes a calm head on the patient and is often only accomplished with the help of someone who recognizes what is happening and can guide them through the process. This is why, as embarrassing as admitting the problem may be, the most effective ways of combating these attacks may be to alert your family and friends so that they can assist you properly should the occasion arise. A good friend who understands what you are going through can guide you and help you to calm down with words and actions.

Panic attack treatment requires that you understand what is happening physically and that those around you are prepared for what may occur. Just this small amount of preparation can often reduce the frequency of attacks since you have shared fears. Shared fears are fears that can be released. It is the fears we don’t release that can strangle us and our lives.

Professional Assistance with Panic Attack Treatment

As with all forms of treatments, help from the professional community may include sessions including Cognitive Behavior Therapy and analysis sessions with a professional. CBT exercises are best performed and perfected under the guidance of a professional but once mastered can be employed at any time you feel the need. Specific exercises are usually prescribed based on your level of need, so just understanding a treatment modality does not make it appropriate for use by anyone.

Medications for panic attack treatment usually include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil, Benzodiazipines such as Xanax, Valium and Ativan may be used for immediate relief and antidepressants are usually prescribed for long term treatment. Medications are not always the answer and should never be taken without a thorough examination and work up by your treating physician.

Some of the medications used as a panic attack treatment have serious complications if not taken correctly and many are not designed for one time use but must build up a blood level of the chemicals in your body to be effective. Stopping or starting of these medications must only be done under the close supervision of a medical professional.

The best approach for finding a effective panic attack treatment is to discuss the problems you are having with your physician and make sure there are no other physical conditions and then to undergo counseling to determine effective method of treatment for your condition. Regardless of whether you are able to use simple techniques on your own or with guidance, require cognitive behavior training, or must take medication, your panic attack treatment plan must include a well-rounded approach to your situation.

Learning to beat social phobia

In a world filled with human interaction there are millions of people who suffer from different types of social phobia. These fears run the gamut, from fear of public speaking (the number 1 fear of all people in the world, even more than the fear of death) to fears of using public restrooms or even eating in public.

Sometimes the fears are so pronounced as to prevent you from having a “normal life,” but most of the time these social phobias produce a general anxiousness that causes discomfort and is often categorized as Generalized Social Anxiety Disorder.

What is a Social Phobia?

Phobias are basically fears that present themselves in such a way as to prevent you from completing a task that normally holds no danger in most circumstances. For instance, often people have a fear of walking into a room filled with people even when everyone in the room is known to them. It is this type of fear that can cause you to become reclusive and disrupt your life.

There are many specific fears that can be listed as a social phobia but the best definition is a “persistent and irrational fear of situations involving the scrutiny and judgment of others such as seen is social gatherings.

Diagnosing a social phobia can often be frustrating for the patient as well as the medical professional. Being nervous before making a speech in front of a class or group may give you a case of the butterflies but that is usually just pure performance anxiety that usually disappears the minute you begin to speak.

However, if that same situation causes you to be physically ill, lose fine motor control, black out and produce heart palpitations to the extreme then you may be suffering from a form of this disorder. If the mere thought of stepping onto a crowded street causes you these same types of feelings then it may be time to seek treatment.

Let’s Get Technical about our Social Phobia

Generalized Social Anxiety Disorder is characterized by extreme fear of any type of social situation and is accompanied by distress and the inability to function in some part of your daily life. It is often exacerbated by the actual or perceived scrutiny of others that leads to severe inhibition or complete avoidance of all social events. Fears of this type are most commonly, and wrongly, self-treated by sufferers with alcohol or other drugs that lead to additional problems.

Self-destructive behavior is often the most telling problem that occurs from this type of social phobia. Overeating, drinking, illegal drugs are just some of the problems that severe sufferers encounter. Recognizing the need for treatment is easy but it is the social stigma of seeking treatment that compounds this fear and makes it grow into a true social disorder.

Treating a Social Phobia

Treatments for this type of disorder are currently very standard and include sessions with a therapist and medications to reduce the anxiety and depressing aspects of a social disorders. Behavioral therapy has also been utilized to treat both specific disorders as well as generalized issues.

Often treatment is the scariest part for patients as they know that in order to defeat a problem they must face the fear. Learning specific techniques for overcoming these issues is simple in the safety of your therapist’s office but when put into practice can often cause severe mental anguish. This makes it doubly important to seek treatment from a qualified professional who understands the needs to approach your social phobia treatment slowly and patiently.

 Baby steps usually do the trick but it still requires time to overcome the most severe social phobia.

Clinical Depressive Disorder.

A severe or long-lasting bout of depression is often called “clinical depressive disorder”, or clinical depression. It can only be diagnosed as such by a medical doctor.

Teenage Anger Management

Teenage Anger Management

As children move into the teen years, they experience many changes, both physically and mentally. These changes can cause confusion and stress, and without guidance can lead to anger.

It’s up to parents and educators to help teens through this chaotic transition, and to make sure they grow into healthy and happy young adults.

As children move into the teen years, they experience many changes, both physically and mentally. Some of these are hormonal changes brought on by puberty; others are societal changes that come with moving into junior high and high school, and being exposed to a growing environment.

These changes can cause confusion and stress, and without guidance, these stressed out teens can respond with anger. It’s up to parents and educators to help teens through this chaotic transition, and to make sure they grow into healthy and happy young adults.

Teenage anger management is an important aspect

of helping them through these turbulent times.

Teenagers respond to stress differently than adults. From ages twelve through sixteen, hormonal changes can cause a lack of control, meaning that teens will lash out in anger when they feel they are being controlled. It’s important during this age that teens are allowed to feel as if they have some control over the decision being made about their lives.

Today’s teens are also subject to much more pressure than teens of previous decades. Through television, movies, even the music they listen to, they are exposed to more hostility and violence than ever before. They might be exposed to violence in the home, or have a lack of support because of broken homes.

All of these stressors lead to teens that are out of control. Teenage anger management can help at risk teens to better channel their energies, preventing antisocial behavior and acting out.

A lack of teenage anger management and poor self-control can lead some teens to criminal activities, where they may be putting their future – or their life – at risk. Parents, teachers and law enforcement must work together to help these teens who are most at risk.

It’s important to teach troubled teens how to respond appropriately to stressors, as well as how to identify and deal with negative emotions.

Special educational programs that focus on teenage anger management can be of great assistance to those at risk teens. Through these programs, they can learn to modify their behavior, and respond to their stress and anger in more acceptable ways. Only by learning to respond appropriately to life’s stress and chaos can these youths make the transition into healthy and happy adults.

As most doctors will tell you, there are two things that disturb sleep: physical pain and worry.

It’s therefore understandable that many people with anxiety report frequent sleep disturbance as a major problem.

Not being able to sleep can actually be quite traumatic for many people.

The first thing you need to understand about sleep is this: it’s not the amount of sleep you get that’s important, but rather the quality of the sleep.

Quality over quantity.

How to get to sleep

I am going to give you some quick tips to help tackle any problems you are having with sleep. Firstly, to break the insomnia cycle, begin by not presuming you will sleep! That seems like the wrong attitude, but if you approach each night as just a possible opportunity to sleep, this helps remove the pressure you are placing yourself under.

In a way, some people have performance anxiety when they think about sleeping:

“Will I be able to make myself sleep tonight?”

The answer is maybe yes, maybe no. If you’re going through a period of sleeplessness, a good night’s sleep isn’t guaranteed, for whatever reason, so you have to accept that for the moment. If you get one or two hours’ sleep, that’s well and good, and if you get nothing, then accept it and move on. Each night, as you retire, say to yourself:

“I’m preparing for bed, but I won’t try to force sleep. If it comes, it comes. If not, I won’t beat myself up over it. This is a period I’m going through, but I’ll soon return to normal sleep patterns.”

Every person goes through periods of sleeplessness from time to time. It’s very natural. You may not be aware of why you experience sleeplessness, but at the very least, you can accept it.

Let me emphasize the importance of surrendering to your inability to sleep. Surrender to whatever may or may not happen during the course of a night, and you’ll put your mind under less pressure. After a certain point, it’s really the anger and frustration that keep you awake most of the night.

Naturally the best way to get a good night’s sleep is a good physical workout each evening in the outdoors. This is very effective because the mind may try to keep you awake, but the sheer physical exhaustion brings on sleep quicker. Couple that with a willingness to accept sleeplessness, and you’ll find yourself sleeping much easier.

Remember that alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine should be avoided several hours before sleep. You may be the type who finds it initially hard to get to sleep as your mind races with anxious thoughts. Should you find your mind racing and you simply can’t achieve sleep, keep a journal beside your bed. Sit upright and start to write down how you feel:

“I’m feeling quite restless. I keep turning over and over, trying to sleep, but I have worries on my mind.” Now write down all of your worries, for example:

“Tomorrow I have to do X, and I’m afraid I won’t be well rested, etc.”

Continue to write down your worries until the exercise actually becomes quite boring. Then your body and mind will slowly want to return to sleep. Writing like this is a simple tool for preparing your mind in a linear way to wind down and return to sleep (an advanced form of counting sheep).

Don’t be afraid of writing pages and pages of nothing in particular. What you’re doing is helping the conscious mind release whatever is keeping it awake so it can stop obsessing and return to sleep.

You see, one of the reasons we can’t fall asleep is that our mind feels these worries (whatever they are) are important to analyze over and over; they need urgent attention and therefore should be thought about all night long.

The more worked up you get by the worries, the more your body gets stimulated and the harder sleep is to achieve. Writing down all your worries on paper has the effect of saying to your mind:

“Okay, mind, you think these are important. I’ve written them all down in detail. They won’t be forgotten, I promise. I can come back to them tomorrow and deal with them then-but RIGHT NOW, let’s sleep.”

The mind can be like a small child who just needs reassurance that things will be dealt with and looked after. That’s all it needs to let go of these mental worries. You then discover, in the morning, that almost all of the worries or concerns aren’t big issues. Many of our worries are the workings or an overactive imagination.

Dr. Dennis Gersten of San Diego suggests an approach that is effective for particularly restless nights. You may want to experiment with it the next time you are very restless in bed.

Try the following:

-As you lie there in bed, start by remembering a time in your life when you absolutely had to stay awake! Maybe it was an important exam you were studying for and you had to keep cramming through the night.

Maybe it was staying up all night nursing your baby to sleep. Maybe it was when you were traveling through the night on a bus and needed to stay awake in case you missed your stop.

I am sure there have been many different occasions in your life where you had to force yourself to stay awake.

-Remember the weariness and the effort just to keep your eyes open. Remember how your eyelids felt like lead weights and you wished you could close them, even just for a minute. At that time, you could not give in to your urge to fall asleep; you had to fight hard to stay awake. Relive those memories and really try and remember exactly what that felt like.

-Now think about right now, and how good it feels to actually be in bed with no pressing need to stay awake. Think how much you would have given to be where you are now, lying in your bed with your head resting on the pillow and the complete freedom you have to fall asleep. It feels really good to actually have full permission to fall asleep right now.

There are no demands on you to stay awake. With your eyes closed spend a few more minutes remembering that time.

-End of exercise.

Night Panic Attacks

People with anxiety disorders can sometimes be awakened at night by panic attacks. We know that most nighttime panic attacks aren’t caused by dreams. Records of sleep polysomnographia show that most panic attacks take place during the early sleep phase (phase II), not during the REM phase associated with dreams. This is different from nightmares. Nightmares happen during the second half of the night, so we’re often able to remember the content of these dreams.

It’s important not to go to bed fearing you might have a panic attack. Go to bed confident that if one should arise, you’ll successfully deal with it. That way, you don’t put yourself under pressure to NOT have a panic attack. Many panic attacks are experienced at the very moment of falling asleep.

If you wake with a panic attack, implement the One Move Technique as outlined in my course Panic Away. (See end of email)

Here’s a description a woman recently gave of her experience:

“Getting to sleep is a real problem. Just as I’m about to drop off to sleep, my body seems to jolt awake, like an electric shock, which then frightens me and keeps me awake for hours.”

This jolt is called a hypnic jerk, or hypnagogic massive jerk. A hypnic jerk usually occurs just as the person enters sleep. People often describe it as a falling sensation or an electric shock, and it’s a completely normal experience. It’s most common when we’re sleeping uncomfortably or overtired.

There’s been little research on the subject, but there are some theories as to why hypnic jerks occur. When we drift off into sleep, the body undergoes changes in temperature, breathing, and muscle relaxation. The hypnic jerk may be a result of the muscles relaxing. The brain misinterprets this as a sign of falling, and it signals our limbs to wake up, hence the jerking legs or arms.

People turn hypnic jerks into panic attacks because they already feel nervous about their condition and the jolt scares them into thinking something bad is happening. Again, it’s a fearful reaction to a sensation.

Usually when these people wake up, they gasp for air, and this can also turn into a fear of a breathing problem while sleeping. If you jolt awake with panic, then simply understanding the nature of a hypnic jerk can strip away the anxiety from the experience.

Reassure yourself that you’re safe and that the jerk isn’t something to worry about. It doesn’t disrupt your bodily functions, and it doesn’t put you in any danger.

I want to leave you with a few last comments. All too often people with anxiety are pressurized to end their anxiety. People pass remarks like:

“I wish you could just snap out of your anxiety”.

Although people mean well, these type of comments are not helpful. People don’t just think one thought and snap out of anxiety. There is a step by step process of removing the illusion that anxiety creates and for some this can take time where the anxiety has been present for many years.

I really want to impress upon you that anxiety is curable. What you must never stop doing is searching for the right approach for you. By the way I hope I have not come across too strong in pushing my course Panic Away. I am excited by the results it gets and that is why I talked about it frequently.

After many years working in this area I am now more convinced than ever that every single person, regardless of how severe, can end their anxiety problem. If you have a thought that is telling you different then you need to lose that thought.

Never stop trying, never give up. That is the best you can do.

Best Wishes

Depression in the elderly

Many people look forward to their golden years as a chance to retire and spend time with other pursuits like travel or hobbies. But when they enter this new phase of their lives, they can find life to actually be more challenging. The best laid plans can be disrupted by unplanned for events, bringing on sadness that with time can deepen into full blown depression.

What are some of the causes of depression in the elderly?

1. The loss of friends and loved ones – It can be very difficult for the elderly to lose loved ones. As friends their own age die, they not only feel the loss of the friend, they are also reminded of their own mortality. It’s a reminder of the possibly short time they have left of their own life. Additionally, losing a spouse of many years can leave an elder widow or widower feeling they have no reason to continue living themselves.

2. Losing their independence – Becoming dependent on other people is a big fear of many elderly. While family members are often able to step in and help, it can be difficult for the elderly to relinquish the control over their life that they’ve always held dear. They may need help with making decisions that before they handled on their own – or they may need help with day to day activities like dressing and eating. For a person who has successfully raised a family of their own, worked all their life, perhaps even run their own business, it can be very difficult to realize that they can no longer do everything. Depression in elderly people can begin as their independent lifestyle is lost.

3. Poor Health – For the elderly, simple illnesses like the common cold can quickly turn more serious and recovery can take longer. The same is true for accidents; brittle bones are more easily fractured in a fall, and broken bones take much longer to heal. A fractured hip can lead to a stay in the nursing home or a rehabilitation center. Pain and lost mobility plus the possibility of long-time health problems can easily turn into sadness that can worsen into depression in the elderly.

Despite having such clear causes for depression in the elderly, the diagnosis is often missed. Part of this is because the elderly are often loath to discuss their feelings with a doctor. They may feel the doctor doesn’t want to hear them complain about their feelings, and doctors are often more focused on physical issues, leading them to miss the signs of depression.

There are other reasons depression in the elderly often goes unspotted. Seniors may be hesitant to bring up any problems because they fear becoming a burden to their family. They may hide their feelings because they are afraid of losing more independence. Sometimes they don’t mention it because their fixed income doesn’t allow them the luxury of therapy. And many depressed elderly try to keep it hidden because they feel it is a weakness.

So how can we help elderly friends or family who might be suffering from

depression?

First of all, communicate frequently with your elderly loved ones. Frequent conversation will give you a better opportunity to notice any change in mood or behavior. If you have suspicions, ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask outright if they are feeling sad or depressed. You can make suggestions to help alleviate concerns they may have. Help them get involved in activities, either with you or at a local senior center. While they may fear losing independence, getting treatment for depression can actually help seniors maintain their independence longer.
It’s important that we understand that any of the events mentioned earlier can lead to depression in the elderly. Seniors are more hesitant to discuss their feelings or concerns with family or medical professionals.

As a friend or family member, you can help by being aware of the root causes and symptoms of depression in the elderly so that you can help loved ones who may be in need.

Understanding your panic attack

Your heart starts to race, you begin to sweat, your breathing becomes labored and the room begins to close in; sound familiar, it may if you have ever suffered a panic attack. This extreme form of anxiety requires the help and diagnosis by a physician and today, I’ll be describing the common signs and symptoms that many people experience.

Classic Definition of a Panic Attack

Described as a brief period of intense fear and/or apprehension that starts quickly, reaches its peak within about 10 minutes and usually subsides over the course of several hours, a panic attack is often described by those experiencing it for the first time as a heart attack or nervous breakdown. Often people who suffer from these attacks find themselves caught in a kind of positive feedback loop where the anticipation of the next attack brings on a mini attack and making it hard for them to live and function normally.

Physical Symptoms

The sympathetic nervous system is often activated during a panic attack and the “fight or flight” sensations may become very prominent. At the onset of an attack, sufferers will begin to tremble, become short of breath and their heart will begin to beat rapidly causing chest pains. Hot flashes, cold flashes, facial flushing and burning, sweating, nausea, and tingling sensations in the arms, legs and hands often occur as well.

The sudden onset of symptoms often leads to people seeking treatment in the emergency room. Unable to control the physical responses, patient often feel embarrassed and unable to seek treatment for the underlying causes. A panic attack is a psychological condition and not a mental illness. There are many people who suffer from these attacks as a result of intense emotional stress but there are a number of predisposing long term causes such as heredity and certain illnesses.

Current Treatment Practices

Most treatment today includes psychological therapy and medication to reduce attacks and cognitive behavior therapy to produce the best results. Recognizing physical conditions that bring on attacks is the base of this type of therapy so that these type situations can be avoided. Psychological therapy has been proven time and again to provide the best treatment for this condition. Breathing exercises have also been used with some success to reduce the frequency of attacks and make them less debilitating when they do occur.

There are certain diagnostic criteria that must be noted by your physician in order to adequately diagnosis a panic attack and consulting your health professional is a requirement. As noted earlier, this disorder can often have an underlying physical cause that must be treated as well. Without treatment, some people come to fear leaving the safety of their home and the safe conditions that it presents and makes it hard for them to function in the world.

These situations can be extremely distressing when they occur and can lead to other types of problems; therefore, it is extremely important to seek treatment when they occur.

Help can come from a number of different places and you should continue your research so that eventually you can defeat the next panic attack.
