Anxiety neurosis is a very common form of psychoneurosis. This form of anxiety can be caused by a variety of different factors such as an irrational fear, imagined danger and an inability to deal with the daily stress and strain of life. It is also a result of the mental system, the physical system and the behavioral system all working in conjunction. Anxiety neurosis is also known as neurotic disorder, and thus those suffering from it are said to be anxiety neurotic. It is different from other related states like panic disorder, agoraphobia, posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other related disorders.
Anxiety neurosis have a wide variety of symptoms. The most common symptoms are fear, panic, sweating, nausea, low self-esteem, racing heart, tension, mental unrest and fear of future anxiety episodes. These symptoms will vary from person-to-person and the severity of this disorder will range between patients. These symptoms often strike out of the blue and without warning. Some people even feel symptoms while relaxed or asleep.
Anxiety neurosis has no exact cause. Researchers and scientists are still trying to find out what really triggers the said disorder. Others have come up with conclusions that genetics, chemical imbalances, drugs and other substances and varying personality may have its contribution. Somehow, people that have low self-esteem and have trouble interacting with other people are more likely to develop anxiety neurosis.
There are a variety of treatments for people who suffer from anxiety neurosis. Some common treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, medication and homeopathic treatments. Some types of anxiety neurosis are sometimes treted using hypnosis or drugs to help the patient return to the original traumatic event that caused the neurosis. It may also be treated with prescription drugs or a combination of both drugs and therapy. These treatments will enable them to face their fears and overcome anxiety neurosis.
