Symptoms of anxiety
Du har også helt sikkert opplevelser med at det knyter seg i magen under en
ubehagelig konflikt med kjæresten, eller at du kan bli litt småkvalm før en viktig eksamen.
Noen ganger er angstresponsen i kroppen også helt nødvendig for at vi skal prestere
optimalt, for eksempel før en idrettskonkurranse
When does anxiety become problematic?
We can say that anxiety begins to become problematic when it prevents you from living the way you want.
If the anxiety you feel before giving a speech prevents you from giving a speech, we start talking about a problematic anxiety. When the anxiety you feel in connection with conflicts means that you avoid conflicts at all costs, we can talk about problematic anxiety. Or if anxiety becomes such a big part of your daily routine that you spend a lot of your time trying to
avoid it, it has become problematic
Panic attack
Anxiety is about getting so scared or worried that it starts to go beyond how you feel. It can be specific things, such as phobias or social anxiety, a more general anxiety and uncontrollable worry, or frightening panic attacks.
Social Anxiety
Depression is a condition characterized by low mood, hopelessness, loss of energy and loss of joy. When you are depressed, you may feel empty, or feel sad and self-loathing, and you typically have negative thoughts about yourself. Anxiety and depression can also affect sleep, relationships and how things go with work and studies.
Treatment of anxiety
Heldigvis finnes det god behandling mot angst. Vanligvis starter vi med en innledende kartlegging av hvordan angst påvirker deg og ditt liv, slik at vi kan forstå deg og din angst.
Etter kartleggingen er det vanlig å starte behandlingen med en eller annen form for eksponering - hvor vi utsetter deg for angsten under kontrollerte rammer som du er med på å bestemme.
Behandling for angst kan noen ganger også innebære en utforskning av
underliggende følelser eller tidligere opplevelser som kan bidra til angsten. Det vil uansett alltid være et samarbeid mellom deg og psykologen som gjør at behandlingen blir tilpasset deg og dine behov.
Det viktigste utfallet av behandling vil alltid være at du kan leve livet slik
du ønsker det, uten å være hindret av angst.
