What Is an Anxiety Disorder, and How Can It Be Managed Naturally? - #15338
I recently started experiencing frequent worry, racing thoughts, and physical tension, and my doctor mentioned that it could be a sign of an anxiety disorder. I know that occasional stress is normal, but when does anxiety become a serious mental health condition that requires treatment? I read that anxiety disorders can include conditions like Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, and OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder). How do doctors differentiate between normal anxiety and a clinical disorder, and what tests are used for diagnosis? One thing that concerns me is that long-term anxiety can lead to high blood pressure, digestive issues, sleep problems, and even heart disease. What are the best non-medication approaches to managing anxiety symptoms naturally? Are there any Ayurvedic treatments, herbal supplements, or relaxation techniques that help with anxiety relief? I’ve heard that Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Chamomile can help calm the nervous system and reduce stress hormones—do these actually work? If anyone has struggled with anxiety disorders, what treatments or lifestyle changes helped you manage your symptoms? Did therapy, meditation, or herbal supplements make a noticeable difference?
