Recent studies show that there are other natural approaches in treating anxiety. Persons who are having frustrating bouts to fight off anxiety have the tendency to find relief with prescription drugs without realizing that these drugs may cause more harm than good when they become habitual and uncontrolled. Those who are having anxiety attacks experience a reduced production of brain neurotransmitters that control s its ability to produce calming effects such as the Glutamic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). By taking foods and supplements rich in glutamine anxiety attacks can be reduced to a minimal. It helps in the relaxation of the mind, enabling the person to think more clearly and concentrate on his present situation.
When under treatment with glutamine anxiety incidents have proven to decrease as patients experience a sense of relief from physical and emotional stress that may also be a result of taking prescription drugs but does not have the same side effects. Glutamine greatly increases one’s mental abilities. It can be produced naturally by the brain. But since those experiencing anxiety attacks have reduced capabilities to produce glutamine, it is advisable that they take glutamine supplements, and have a diet that is rich in glutamine such as meat, poultry, eggs and fish. They can also be found in protein rich vegetables such as broccoli and spinach.
But as always, medication, even for alternative medicines, has to be supported by psychiatric therapy. Therapies will guide the person in controlling his intake and get him into a specific program designed to address the underlying problem. It may be noticeable that in some persons taking glutamine anxiety attacks are lessened, the aid of a support group is elemental in controlling and managing depression. Support group programs offer a variety of approach to deal with the causes of anxiety with very minimal or even no, dependence on prescription drugs.
