Anxiety states are commonly encountered, especially in general practice. Some endocrine disorders have features in common with anxiety states, especially thyrotoxicosis and idiopathic hypoglycemia. Functional cardiovascular disorders merge into anxiety states and include a large number of ill-differentiated syndromes. Other causes of anxiety are the drug-associated conditions, such as amphetamine overdose and barbiturate withdrawal. Among neuropsychiatric illnesses, temporal lobe epilepsy and the postconcussional state commonly have anxiety as a prominent syndrome. Psychophysiological technique can be used to assess anxiety levels in a variety of clinical contexts but need cautious interpretation. Anxiety is most easily assessed using rating scales but potential users must be clear as to what they are trying to measure. For clinical anxiety assessed by the physician, the Hamilton Scale is appropriate; for self-assessments linear scales can be adapted. | Among the studies of systemic hormonal and physiological abnormalities associated with anxiety disorders, the most consistent and extensive findings suggest (a) peripheral adrenergic hyperactivity (including increases in norepinephrine but not epinephrine) and functional dysregulation, (b) increased incidence of mitral valve prolapse in panic patients, and (c) normal suppressibility of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal cortical endocrine system with dexamethasone in panic patients. Other less-certain findings include (a) increased circulating concentrations of plasma ACTH and/or cortisol, and prolactin, in panic patients, (b) increased platelet monoamine oxidase activity in generalized anxiety and/or panic patients, (c) decreased gonadal axis activity in some anxious individuals, (d) decreased nighttime melatonin plasma concentrations in panic patients, and (e) peripheral α 2 and β-adrenoreceptor down-regulation, with normal serotonin binding parameters. These findings, taken together, provide tentative support for dysfunction in adrenergic and GABAergic central nervous system mechanisms in people with anxiety disorders. Abnormal anxiety and normal stress both show evidence of adrenergic hyperactivity; however, there appear to be differences in hormonal profiles, especially the apparent lack of increase of epinephrine during panic attacks, as well as differences in the reactivity of the system, and in the “trigger” mechanisms which determine when the response occurs. | Summary ::: Although depression has been associated to worst bone physical properties in adulthood, this study showed that depressive symptoms were not significantly associated to bone mineral density measured at the forearm during adolescence. | eng_Latn | 2,414 |
This study was designed to assess two aspects of behavioural relaxation training with subjects who have severe mental retardation. The first was whether or not cue words could be linked effectively to training so that they would eventually produce a relaxation effect in the absence of a full relaxation procedure. The second was to determine the effects of relaxation training and subsequent cue control on concentration and attention to an occupational task. Five subjects participated, and individual case designs were used. Cue Control, behavioural relaxation training (BRT), and new therapists were introduced at different times for each subject to ascertain the effects of each variable. Subjects were assessed at baseline and following each training session on a behavioural relaxation scale to judge the direct effects of relaxation training and on the amount of time spent concentrating on an occupational task. BRT produced reductions in rated anxiety and improvements in concentration for all subjects. The cue control words were effective only after they had been linked to BRT. In most cases, the introduction of a new therapist had no appreciable effect on anxiety or concentration. There was some suggestion that in the final cue only phases concentration was better and more consistent than during the BRT phases of the study. | Anxiety disorders are common in individuals with developmental disabilities (DDs), although they may not be diagnosed and treated as often as they are in patients without DDs. Patients with mental retardation, autism, and other pervasive developmental disorders may exhibit comorbid anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, and other anxiety symptoms at much higher rates than in the general population, but identification of these comorbid anxiety disorders may be made more difficult by the presence of the DD and concurrent difficulties with communication, other behavior problems, the lack of standardized assessments specific to diagnosing patients with DDs and psychiatric comorbidities, and the need for greater collateral sources of assessment information. In addition, systematic study of the treatment of anxiety in patients with DD is limited to a relatively small number of empirical studies done specifically in these patients along with case reports and theoretical reviews on the extension and modification of more well-studied treatments used for anxiety in patients without DDs. The present article reviews the literature on the prevalence, features, assessment and diagnosis of anxiety disorders in individuals with DDs, and also reviews empirical studies of pharmacological and psychological treatment of patients with comorbid anxiety and DD and summarizes the findings.

Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent mental disorders, but the subcategory of specific phobias has not been well studied. Phobias involve both fear and avoidance. For people who have specific phobias, avoidance can reduce the constancy and severity of distress and impairment. However, these phobias are important because of their early onset and strong persistence over time. Studies indicate that the lifetime prevalence of specific phobias around the world ranges from 3% to 15%, with fears and phobias concerning heights and animals being the most common. The developmental course of phobias, which progress from fear to avoidance and then to diagnosis, suggests the possibility that interrupting the course of phobias could reduce their prevalence. Although specific phobias often begin in childhood, their incidence peaks during midlife and old age. Phobias persist for several years or even decades in 10-30% of cases, and are strongly predictive of onset of other anxiety, mood, and substance-use disorders. Their high comorbidity with other mental disorders, especially after onset of the phobia, suggests that early treatment of phobias could also alter the risk of other disorders. Exposure therapy remains the treatment of choice, although this approach might be less effective in the long term than previously believed. This Review discusses the literature regarding the prevalence, incidence, course, risk factors, and treatment of specific phobias, and presents epidemiological data from several population-based surveys. | This paper continues our previous study in which we examined the respondents’ reaction to two morphologically different snake stimuli categories – one evoking exclusively fear and another evoking exclusively disgust. Here we acquired Likert-type scale scores of fear and disgust evoked by the same snake stimuli by a total of 330 respondents. Moreover, we collected data about the respondents’ age, gender, education, snake fear (Snake Questionnaire, SNAQ), and disgust propensity (Disgust Scale-Revised, DS-R), and we analyzed the effect of these variables on the emotional scores (with special focus on snake-fearful respondents). In addition to this, we collected the SNAQ and DS-R scores from the respondents tested in the previous study using the rank-ordering method to directly compare the results of these two approaches. The results showed that non-fearful respondents give high scores of fear to the fear-eliciting snakes and high scores of disgust to the disgust-eliciting snakes, but they give low scores of the other emotional dimension (disgust/fear) to each. In contrast, snake-fearful respondents not only give higher fear and disgust scores to the respective snake stimuli, but they also give high scores of fear to the disgust-eliciting snakes and high scores of disgust to the fear-eliciting snakes. Both Likert-scale scores and rank-ordering data show that the clear border dividing both snake stimuli categories dissolves when evaluated by the snake-fearful respondents. | The increasing frequency of pet ownership (especially cats) in many industrialized countries has raised the level of exposure to the allergens produced by these animals.

The 'Pathétique' is one of the defining sounds of the romantic period, but the story behind it is just as intriguing. Was it due to cholera-infected water? Could it have been suicide? Or was it, quite simply, the result of a broken heart? All sorts of theories, both credible and anything but, have been espoused when it comes to the reason for Tchaikovsky ’s death in November 1893. The premiere of his Symphony No. 6 took place in October 1893, just over a week before the composer’s death. Of all Tchaikovsky’s works, this is arguably the one that spans both extremes of the emotional spectrum to the greatest extent. One moment you’re enjoying a graceful dance; the next, sombre moods dominate. The symphony’s nickname, 'Pathétique', was added by Tchaikovsky’s brother, with the blessing of the composer. It suggests pathos in the music – something that is undoubtedly there in spades, but not at the expense of a lightness of touch and, at times, a sense of frivolity. In those moments, at least, the music seems far from autobiographical: if Tchaikovsky was struggling with suicidal thoughts, they’re by no means evident throughout. Tchaikovsky was more than satisfied with this four-movement symphony – but, as was so often and so cruelly the case, the critical reception it received was decidedly muted. Described by some as his farewell to life, in reality we shall never know exactly what inspired the work. What we can be sure of, though, is that it lives on as one of the composer’s most adored creations. Illustration: Mark Millington | eng_Latn | 2,418 |
Ombrophobia is an irrational fear of which weather condition? | Ombrophobia – Symptoms and Causes of Ombrophobia – Treatment Share your stories and support others... Ombrophobia Tweet Most of us are familiar with the idea of a “rainy day.” Rain is usually seen as a threat to our entertainment, forcing us to stay indoors and away from the inclement weather. However, some people may have even more of an issue with the idea of a rainy day. Ombrophobia is an abnormal fear of rain that may cause a person to experience symptoms very similar to severe anxiety attacks . Symptoms of Ombrophobia Symptoms that are commonly associated with an immense fear of the rain usually run parallel to most panic attacks or anxiety disorders . When placed in a stressful situation, presented with rain or images of rain, a sufferer may experience one or more of the following: Inability to think or speak clearly Trembling or muscle tension Causes of Ombrophobia There are several reasons why a person may develop an irrational fear or rain. Ombrophobia is commonly associated with a fear with either disease or sickness. These people may have been told, at a young age, that going outside into the rain would make them sick. Later in life, this fear can manifest itself and turn into a complete phobia. Another common cause for ombrophobia is the feeling of depression most people associate with a cloudy day or a gray sky. In this case, the person usually fears the effects of depression and worry that rain will slowly deteriorate their mental balance. Ombrophobia can also be onset by a traumatic event experienced during their lifetime. In this case, the sight or idea of rain will trigger the repressed traumatic event and cause the person to relive the moment. Unfortunately, this phobia will likely worsen over time if it is not properly treated by either professional or self-help methods . If you allow ombrophobia to manifest itself, the fear may slowly become more intense and other severe symptoms, such as depression, may begin to appear. Treatment of Ombrophobia Professional methods may include exposure therapy, group therapy or the solution may be as simple as learning new breathing techniques to better manage your stress when presented with rain. The most important part of choosing a treatment method is finding one that you will be able to stick with and can easily adapt to your lifestyle. If you are tired of living with an irrational fear of rain and are looking for a way to overcome your ombrophobia, it may be time to start researching different treatment options available to you.

Causes of Ornithophobia There may be different causes or reasons behind the excessive fear of birds: Young children can develop Ornithophobia if they have felt threatened by aggressive birds like vultures, hawks or geese. In some cases, the birds might not have shown any violence, but their mere presence at traumatic events such as funerals or accidents can be enough to trigger a phobia in a young child. Birds flying inside the homes through an open window and causing upheaval might have made the parents nervous and this can trigger anxiety attack in the child. Ornithophobia can also be instigated by folklore or movies. Alfred Hitchcock’s film The Birds, or Edgar Allan Poe’s poem ‘The Raven’ also portray birds in negative light or as killing machines. Images of carnivorous birds attacking small prey like rabbits seen on TV shows can sometimes develop a fear of birds in young minds. Most cases of childhood Ornithophobia go away on their own while others may persist even in adulthood. Symptoms of Ornithophobia The symptoms of this phobia vary based on the severity of the condition. As with any other type of phobia, Ornithophobia symptoms can be categorized broadly as mental, physical or emotional. Some people refuse to eat in places where birds may be present from the fear of having their food stolen by the birds. Ornithophobic individuals are afraid of birds preserved by taxidermists and present in museums etc. Still others are afraid of all images, photos or even the feathers of birds. Physical symptoms of this phobia typically include breaking in cold sweat, trembling or shaking, screaming or crying, having an increased heart rate, freezing in place or attempting to flee at the sight of birds. Some individuals are known to experience such anxiety attacks days before an actual confrontation with the birds. Like many other types of phobias, the fear of birds can sometimes be severely debilitating in that; the individual might refuse to leave his home entirely, thereby affecting the day-to-day life. Treatment for fear of birds Overcoming Ornithophobia is essential specially if it causing one to be anxious or depressed all the time. A severely crippling phobia needs professional treatment. In milder cases, one can develop and stick to some self help routines such as positive reaffirmations and visualizations, meditation, or controlled deep breathing and so on. For people with severe anxiety, doctors might prescribe tranquilizers and other medicines to reduce the severity of the symptoms. However, care must be taken when using them. Weaning off such medications can cause withdrawal symptoms and they do not do much for the fear itself rather than providing symptomatic relief. Since most phobias are defined as “a conditional reflex or learning gone wrong”, psychotherapists also recommend behavior therapy to help the phobic individual unlearn these reflexes. Behavior therapy is known to be effective in nearly 9 out of 10 cases of Ornithophobia. Gradual desensitization is another effective method of treating the fear of birds or fear of feathers. Ten to thirty sessions (depending on individual cases) may be used for exposing the person to his/her objects of fears. The patient is shown slides or images of birds or their feathers, taught to imagine approaching the birds until s/he gradually learns to cope without distress.

King’s evil and the royal touch Charles II touching a patient for the King's evil. Add image to my collection In the Middle Ages it was believed in England and France that a touch from royalty could heal skin disease known as scrofula or the ‘king's evil’. Scrofula was usually a swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck caused by tuberculosis . The practice began with King Edward the Confessor in England (1003/4-1066) and Philip I (1052-1108) in France. Subsequent English and French kings were thought to have inherited this ‘royal touch’, which was supposed to show that their right to rule was God-given. In grand ceremonies, kings touched hundreds of people afflicted by scrofula. They received special gold coins called 'touchpieces' which they often treated as amulets . By the late 1400s it was believed that you could also be cured by touching a type of coin called an angel, which had been touched by the monarch. After angels ceased to be minted in the 1620s the same effect was said to be achieved by touching a gold medallion embossed much like the old coin. Some monarchs touched many people. King Henry IV of France touched up to 1500 victims at one time. The last English monarch to carry out this practice was Queen Anne, who died in 1714, but it continued in France. Louis XV touched more than 2000 scrofula victims and the last French monarch to do this was Charles X in 1825. | eng_Latn | 2,424 |
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is the fear of which number? | Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is Fear of the Number 666 By Lisa Fritscher Updated September 09, 2016 Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is the fear of the number "666." Related to triskaidekaphobia , or fear of the number 13, this phobia has its origins in both religious belief and superstition. Some experts question whether hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia should be classified as a specific phobia and view it as a fear based on superstition. Most people find their fear does not significantly impact their lives, which is a necessary component of a phobia diagnosis. Origins of Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia The number 666 appears in the Bible, in the Book of Revelation. Revelation 13:17-18, in the King James version, states the “number of the beast” is “six hundred threescore and six” or 666. This reference appears to be the origin of the fear for some people. As written, the events depicted in Revelation are extremely frightening. When viewed as a literal transcription of what is to come, it is easy to see how a serious fear or phobia could develop. Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia in Pop Culture The prevalence of the number 666 in pop culture represents another trigger for this fear . Many horror movies use this number as a premise and tend to be supernatural thrillers that play on the association between the number and the Antichrist. Some films use doomsday scenarios , drawing on the number’s apocalyptic connotations. Symptoms of Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia Fear of the number 666 can manifest in many different ways, depending on the severity of the phobia and include: Refusing to live in a home that bears this street number. For example, former President Ronald Reagan and wife, Nancy, moved to Bel-Air, Los Angeles, following his presidency. They changed the street number of their house from 666 to 668. Finding yourself making compulsive decisions to consciously avoid having the number occur in your daily life. For example, if a grocery total is $6.66, you may feel compelled to add or subtract an item. Driving around your neighborhood to change your odometer reading from 666 to 667 before you park your car. Becoming particularly nervous or uncomfortable if 666 appears frequently, drawing connections between coincidental events. Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia and Route 666 One of the most famous examples of the fear of the number 666 is the renaming of a famous highway in the American Southwest. U.S. Highway 666 was so-named by the American Association of State Highway Officials in 1926 according to official naming guidelines, as it was the sixth spur off U.S. Highway 66 (the infamous Route 66). Over time, the New Mexico section of Highway 666 proved to be statistically dangerous. Skeptics believe that this was due to the road being improperly designed or maintained for increasing traffic loads. However, many believed that it was actually the road’s name that caused accidents and fatalities. Soon Highway 666 became known as the Devil’s Highway. Treating Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia The fear of the number 666 is surprisingly common, although a true phobia is relatively rare. The course of treatment for hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia will largely depend on your goals for treatment. Are you trying to resolve conflicted religious views? Do you simply want to stop compulsive phobia-induced behaviors? For many clients, cognitive-behavioral therapy is an effective and highly successful treatment. This is true for most cases of specific phobia. Source | Funny random facts for you...: 172 - U.S. $5 dollar bill Funny random facts for you... Funny random facts to add to your life knowledge...

'Astraphobia' is the fear of what? | What Is Astraphobia? - Astraphobia Guide Astraphobia Guide Why You Fear Thunder And Lightening What Is Astraphobia? Astraphobia is the irrational fear of thunder and lightening. This is a specific phobia that tops the list of the most common phobias that people have. You may also hear it referred to as Astrapophobia, Brontophobia, Keraunophobia, and Tonitrophobia. It’s estimated that about ten percent of the American population suffers from this specific weather phobia. Animals, like dogs and cats, typically experience this phobia also. Symptoms A person suffering from Astraphobia will experience a high level of anxiety when it is storming outside. Some may even experience a full blown panic attacks. These symptoms include: Trembling Difficulty Breathing Impeding Sense of Doom or Death For most sufferers this condition is worse when they are left alone. Typically in the presence of other people sufferers are able to find reassurance in the stormy situation. But when left alone sufferers tend to panic. Staying inside of your house or under a roof is not enough cover form most people with this condition. They tend to seek extra security hiding under a bed, in a closet, the basement, or any other space where they feel safer. As an extra measure many sufferers will turn up the radio, put on headphones, or blare the television to drown out the noise created by thunder and lightening. Sufferers tend to pay very close attention to the weather forecast. They constantly look at the weather channel and updates. Some severe sufferers will actually avoid going outside until they check the forecast to ensure there is no possibility of a storm coming so they don’t get stuck outside in it. Causes There are a couple of different reasons you may have developed this fear of stormy weather. Let’s take a closer look at each. Traumatic Situation Many people that suffer from this fear of thunder and lightening have experienced a traumatic event in the past that involved the rain, lightening, or thunder. Each person’s experience varies greatly. It could be that lightening struck something that was important to the person. A car accident in the storm that killed a family member. Or anything alike. Informational Experience For some sufferers their fear of stormy weather may be due to what they have been told, and not anything specific they experienced with the weather. Reading informative books about traumatic events that happened due to thunder and lightening, watching films that depict this type of weather as scary or bad, and even parental cues of parents having Astraphobia and passing on the fear to their children. All of these informational stimuli can cause a person to develop this fear of thunder and lightening, even though the fear has not personally affected them. Treatment There are a few common means to dealing with phobias . Let’s take a look at your different options. In Vivo Therapy This is one of the most effective forms of treatment performed by a therapist. In dealing with Astraphobia your licensed therapist will expose you to images and videos of thunder and lightening. This method uses repeat exposure to desensitize your anxiety towards your fear. They typically do exposure in steps. For example, your therapist may show you images of lightening. Next they may play the noise of thunder and lightening. Last, they may bring in a video or expose you to a storm going on outside. With every different level of exposure you become more familiar with your fear as your therapists shows you that there is nothing to fear. This helps to reprogram the way your brain reacts to this fear. Systematic Desensitization Therapy In this type of desensitization your therapist will teach you relaxation techniques to deal with your phobia. This session typically starts out with your therapists having you imagine the situation of lightening and thunder. They will ask you questions and take notes as what where your phobia developed from. When your anxiety level starts to get high, they will coach you through relaxing and deep breathing.

Triskaidekaphobia is the irrational fear of which number? | Fear of The Number 13 Phobia – Triskaidekaphobia You are here: Home / Phobias / Fear of The Number 13 Phobia – Triskaidekaphobia Fear of The Number 13 Phobia – Triskaidekaphobia Triskaidekaphobia is persistent, irrational and unwarranted fear of the number 13. This number has always been associated with something negative or evil: Jesus’ famous Last supper had 13 guests, the 13th being the same one who betrayed Him. People with Triskaidekaphobia are called Triskaidekaphobes. They tend to experience severe anxiety at the thought or sight of this number. As a result, they might refuse to step out of their homes on the 13th day of each month or avoid anything that has to do with it. In many cases, this fear can be deeply debilitating. Even more common is the fear of number 13 that arrives on a Friday. This fear or phobia associated with Friday the 13th is termed as Paraskevidekatriaphobia. . In France, King Philip IV was known to have conducted raids, arrested and tried the templar knights on charges of blasphemy, homosexuality etc on October 13th 1307, which happened to be a Friday. Friday the 13th has hence been known to be associated with many urban legends. There are many superstitious beliefs associated with Friday as well: it is believed that evil arises on this day, especially because Lord Jesus’ crucifixion took place on a Friday. People are hence known to avoid gambling or buying lottery tickets on this day. (However, contrary evidence has actually shown that many lucky winners have won millions of dollars playing the lottery on Friday the 13th and children born on Friday the 13th are actually considered blessed in some cultures). Hence, in many cultures, people host Friday the 13th parties to celebrate the day. In Brazil however, Friday the 13th in August is considered very ‘harmful or dangerous’ since August rhymes with ‘desgosto’ or sorrow. Thus, across the world, there are many beliefs and associations with the number 13 and Friday, and not all of them are good or positive. Causes of Triskaidekaphobia Whatever is the source or trigger of fear of the number 13, it is now known that logical and systematic thought has limits. The phobic often knows his fear is irrational and unwarranted, yet he is powerless to control it. As stated above, the fear of the number 13 is deeply rooted in humans due to traditions as well as its Biblical association. Judas, who betrayed Jesus ultimately and led to His subsequent death, was believed to have been the 13th Apostle present at the Last Supper. In modern culture, the fear of the number 13 might be instigated further by airlines and hotels since many refuse to use this number while numbering their aisles, floors, rooms etc. A negative or traumatic event occurring in someone’s life on the 13th day of the month might also trigger Triskaidekaphobia. Movies, news reports, and books on this topic can all enhance this fear. The phobia might also be associated with other phobias like Thanatophobia, Agoraphobia etc. People already suffering from anxiety or panic disorders are more likely to experience Triskaidekaphobia Symptoms of fear of the number 13 phobia Symptoms of this phobia may be emotional, mental or physical. There is a constant movie or negative stills playing in the phobic’s mind. The Triskaidekaphobe will try to avoid anything that has to do with this number. S/he experiences deep anxiety or dread at the thought or sight of number 13 Often, one is unable to function normally due to the fear. S/he might experience one or more of the following: rapid heart rate, shallow breathing, chest pains, fainting spells, shaking, trembling, urge to cry or scream or hide etc. The phobic is scared of having a panic attack that may cause him/her to lose control and embarrass oneself. Treatment for Triskaidekaphobia To overcome any phobia, it is important to find out how the mind creates the fear of a certain object or situation. Hypnosis is a great way of finding the root of the fear. Once the phobic understands the roots, s/he is in a better position to overcome it.

Nineteen panic disorder and twenty nonclinical subjects participated in a word association task followed by direct and indirect tests of memory. Subjects were presented with three types of words in random order (physical threat, social threat, and matched neutral words), and were asked to state the first word that came to mind. They were then, unexpectedly, asked to perform a free recall task (direct) or word completion task (indirect). Panic disorder subjects reported a greater number of threat associates to all types of words. However, they did not show a memory bias toward physical threat on either the direct on indirect task. | Background: Cognitive models of panic disorder are becoming more and more influential.

Although individual cognitive biases toward threat in social anxiety are well established, few studies have examined the manner in which cognitive biases work in conjunction. In the present study, socially anxious ( n =54) and nonanxious ( n =58) individuals read 10 passages consisting of positive social or evaluative, negative social or evaluative, and neutral content and completed two cognitive tasks assessing memory of factual details and interpretation immediately and after 48 h. Socially anxious and nonanxious individuals did not differ in their memory for details presented in the passages. However, they made less positive and more negative interpretations of details included in the passages, particularly in positive passages that were self-relevant and particularly in positive passages after the delay. After including depression, state anxiety, and trait anxiety as covariates, biased interpretation of positive passages after the time delay remained significant, but biased interpretation of the self-relevant, positive passages did not. It is concluded that socially anxious individuals are characterized by accurate memory of threatening, factual material, but that they impose a biased interpretation upon that material, especially after some time has passed. | Previous studies failed to show clear differences between people with social phobia and non-anxious individuals regarding the specificity and affective intensity of their autobiographical memories for social events. However, these studies did not assess the subjective experience associated with remembering. In this study, people with social phobia and non-anxious control participants recalled social and non-social events, and rated the phenomenal characteristics of their memories. The memories of people with social phobia for social events contained fewer sensorial details but more self-referential information than controls’ memories. In addition, people with social phobia remembered social situations from an observer perspective, viewing themselves as if from outside, to a greater extent than controls. By contrast, the two groups did not differ concerning their memories for non-social events. These findings are discussed in relation to cognitive models of social phobia. | We prove that groups acting geometrically on delta-quasiconvex spaces contain no essential Baumslag-Solitar quotients as subgroups.

This study compared the effectiveness of two group treatment procedures in reducing adolescent anxiety in a school setting. The interventions included group cognitive-behavioral treatment, group relaxation training, and study skills (control group). Participants were students in Grades 5-12 who were parent, teacher, or school personnel nominated. The adolescents had to exhibit T scores of > 60 on an anxiety scale of the Youth Self Report for ages 11-18 or Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC), self-report rating scales, a parent rating scale or teacher report form for ages 618 of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Measurements were collected at preintervention, postintervention, and a 6-week follow up for the treatment groups. The control group was assessed at preintervention and postintervention only. The data gathered consisted of an overall student anxiety scale score from the MASC, and anxious/ depressed, anxiety problems, and internalizing problems scale scores from the student, teacher, and parent CBCL rating scales. All three groups exhibited lower scores from preintervention to postintervention on the student self-reported MASC. No differences were found among the groups in the reduction of teacher or parent reported anxiety levels from preintervention to postintervention except on the parent ratings of the CBCL anxious/depressed scale. A statistically significant group by time interaction indicated that the students in the CBT group showed significantly lower posttest scores than the relaxation and study skills groups.

Secondary objectives were to describe how anxiety changes over time and determine factors associated with anxiety. ::: ::: ::: METHODS ::: Participants were aged 8 to 18 and either receiving chemotherapy for cancer or undergoing HSCT for any indication. Respondents self-reported three anxiety measurement instruments at chemotherapy cycle or HSCT conditioning start and 3 weeks later. ::: ::: ::: RESULTS ::: The proportion of participants with severe anxiety ranged from 10/77 (13.0%) to 22/77 (28.6%) depending on instrument used. Change over time also varied across instruments, with significant improvement observed with PedsQL (procedural) (P = 0.037) and PROMIS (P = 0.013). Factors associated with anxiety similarly varied by instrument. Older age was associated with more anxiety on the PedsQL (worry) (P = 0.036), and higher household income was associated with less anxiety on the MASC-10 (P = 0.028). ::: ::: ::: CONCLUSIONS ::: While we found that a small proportion of patients met or exceeded thresholds for severe anxiety, we also noted that severity, change over time, and predictors of anxiety varied depending on instrument used. Future research should ensure that selected instruments measure the construct of interest and describe how anxiety is conceptualized in the study. | ABSTRACTUNC-45A is an ubiquitously expressed protein highly conserved throughout evolution.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a prevalent and disabling disorder characterised by persistent worrying, anxiety symptoms, and tension. General practitioners and mental healthcare professionals frequently misdiagnose the presenting symptoms. This article addresses the clinical presentation of GAD and provides guidelines for discriminating GAD from other disorders, based on theoretical considerations and clinical experience. Debate relating to the validity of the definition of GAD is discussed, and suggestions are made for improving the criteria for GAD, which may guide future versions of classification systems such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol 67:58-73, 2011. | Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a mental disorder of which the main feature is persistent and impairing worry. GAD symptoms are common for women during the postpartum period and GAD prevalence rates have been reported as higher in postpartum mothers than in the general population. Currently, little psychometric evidence exists for a screening measure to detect the possible presence of diagnosable GAD for postpartum women. The purpose of this investigation was to gather psychometric information for the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire-IV (GAD-Q-IV; Newman et al., 2002) with a sample of postpartum mothers. Factor analyses were conducted to determine the factor structure of the GAD-Q-IV in postpartum women. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to determine a range of potential GAD-Q-IV cut-off scores for detecting the likely presence of GAD in postpartum women. Results from this study provided evidence to justify a 1-factor structure for the GAD-Q-IV responses from postpartum women, which demonstrated structural, metric, and scalar invariance over time. Findings from these analyses provided evidence of incremental validity, as there was a significant increase in predicting GAD diagnoses when GAD-Q-IV responses were used compared with another measure of postpartum depression. Last, using ROC analysis, a range of GAD-Q-IV cut-off scores was determined, which can be applied to screening for the likely presence or absence of GAD in postpartum women. The evidence presented in this study suggests that the GAD-Q-IV could be a viable screening measure used to identify the likely presence of GAD in postpartum women so that further evaluations and treatments can be recommended. (PsycINFO Database Record | Worry is a normal part of child development. However, a significant proportion of young people experience excessive worry that causes distress and interference with daily functioning. Although worry is a common feature of all anxiety disorders, it is a defining feature of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Cognitive-behavioural therapy is an efficacious treatment for GAD and other anxiety disorders that in recent years has been successfully adapted into short, time-limited formats for other childhood anxiety disorders including Specific Phobia, Social Phobia, Panic, Separation Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. However, intensive treatments for GAD specifically have not been examined to date. This paper provides a brief overview of the characteristics of youth with GAD, followed by a review of current intensive treatments for other anxiety disorders and evidence suggesting these approaches are effective in treating comorbid GAD. Potential benefits of an intensive treatment for GAD are outlined, and directions for future research on intensive treatments for GAD are discussed. | eng_Latn | 2,436 |
Social anxiety disorder : Etiology and early clinical presentation. Discussion | Behavioral and biological theories addressing the etiology of social anxiety disorder are discussed. Although not often diagnosed until adolescence or adulthood, social anxiety disorder can have its onset during childhood. Early recognition and treatment of this condition may prevent both immediate and long-term detrimental outcomes and, possibly, the onset of comorbid conditions. However, special considerations are required for the diagnosis and treatment of childhood social anxiety disorder. Therapists face special challenges when treating youth with social anxiety disorder, including patient and parent considerations. Although not documented specifically for children with social anxiety disorders, data from families with anxious children suggest that familial factors may play a role in treatment outcome. | Based on the analysis of the causes of democratic socialism in western ethos,the basic course,claims,and nature are explored.

What is the mental disorder OCD? | NIMH » Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Definition Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common, chronic and long-lasting disorder in which a person has uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions) that he or she feels the urge to repeat over and over. Signs and Symptoms People with OCD may have symptoms of obsessions, compulsions, or both. These symptoms can interfere with all aspects of life, such as work, school, and personal relationships. Obsessions are repeated thoughts, urges, or mental images that cause anxiety. Common symptoms include: Fear of germs or contamination Unwanted forbidden or taboo thoughts involving sex, religion, and harm Aggressive thoughts towards others or self Having things symmetrical or in a perfect order Compulsions are repetitive behaviors that a person with OCD feels the urge to do in response to an obsessive thought. Common compulsions include: Excessive cleaning and/or handwashing Ordering and arranging things in a particular, precise way Repeatedly checking on things, such as repeatedly checking to see if the door is locked or that the oven is off Compulsive counting Not all rituals or habits are compulsions. Everyone double checks things sometimes. But a person with OCD generally: Can't control his or her thoughts or behaviors, even when those thoughts or behaviors are recognized as excessive Spends at least 1 hour a day on these thoughts or behaviors Doesn’t get pleasure when performing the behaviors or rituals, but may feel brief relief from the anxiety the thoughts cause Experiences significant problems in their daily life due to these thoughts or behaviors Some individuals with OCD also have a tic disorder. Motor tics are sudden, brief, repetitive movements, such as eye blinking and other eye movements, facial grimacing, shoulder shrugging, and head or shoulder jerking. Common vocal tics include repetitive throat-clearing, sniffing, or grunting sounds. Symptoms may come and go, ease over time, or worsen. People with OCD may try to help themselves by avoiding situations that trigger their obsessions, or they may use alcohol or drugs to calm themselves. Although most adults with OCD recognize that what they are doing doesn’t make sense, some adults and most children may not realize that their behavior is out of the ordinary. Parents or teachers typically recognize OCD symptoms in children. If you think you have OCD, talk to your doctor about your symptoms. If left untreated, OCD can interfere in all aspects of life. Note for Health Care Providers: There are comprehensive and validated screening instruments for quantifying and tracking signs and symptoms of OCD. One example is the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), which you can find on the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA)* website . Another example is the Florida Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, which is available online at http://www.ocdscales.org/ . This listing is not comprehensive and does not constitute an endorsement by NIMH. *ADAA is an NIMH National Partner . Risk Factors OCD is a common disorder that affects adults, adolescents, and children all over the world. Most people are diagnosed by about age 19, typically with an earlier age of onset in boys than in girls, but onset after age 35 does happen. For statistics on OCD in adults, please see the NIMH Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Among Adults webpage. The causes of OCD are unknown, but risk factors include: Genetics Twin and family studies have shown that people with first-degree relatives (such as a parent, sibling, or child) who have OCD are at a higher risk for developing OCD themselves. The risk is higher if the first-degree relative developed OCD as a child or teen. Ongoing research continues to explore the connection between genetics and OCD and may help improve OCD diagnosis and treatment.

What is gymnophobia the fear of? | Gymnophobia - Fear of Nudity Gymnophobia By Lisa Fritscher - Reviewed by a board-certified physician. Updated July 02, 2015 Gymnophobia, or the fear of nudity, is a highly personalized phobia. Some people with this fear are afraid only of being naked in public, as is the case in communal showers or changing rooms. However, some people also fear being naked while they're with their partner or even when they're on their own. Others fear being naked alone as well. Many people with gymnophobia are unable to participate in sexual activities, and may develop a more generalized fear of sex that stems from their gymnophobia. In extreme cases, this fear can even lead to a phobia of bathing or showering. Some people are comfortable with their own nakedness, but fear the nudity of others. What Causes Gymnophobia? Gymnophobia can have many different causes. Those who have been through a sexual trauma are certainly at increased risk for the phobia, partially because they feel especially vulnerable when naked or they experience nudity as a triggering event . A fear of nudity (or, more commonly, a fear of sex) can also be brought about by being raised in a conservative culture or religion that frowns on nudity and sexual expression. Children and young teens may also develop this fear if they are bullied or shamed for some reason related to their bodies, for example, if they are developing more or less rapidly than their peers. Gymnophobia is sometimes related to other anxieties as well, such as the fear of vulnerability or the fear of intimacy. It may also be linked to body dysmorphic disorder , social anxiety , and other conditions that cause people to be unusually critical of themselves. Lastly, having surgical scars or other disfigurements can cause increased shame of one's body that can easily develop into gymnophobia. Coping With Gymnophobia Many people with gymnophobia find that simple adjustments help them to keep their fears at bay. For example, they may refuse to shop in stores that have communal dressing rooms, they can skip the shower after a workout, and they may have sex with the lights off. For mild to moderate gymnophobia, this can be all that's required to keep the condition from disrupting their life. Over time, however, the fear can worsen, and gymnophobic persons can find themselves changing an increasingly long list of activities in order to prevent showing their bodies. It's when gymnophobia is having a profoundly disruptive effect on a person's life - for example, they cease to bathe - that it is necessary to take action. Gymnophobia, like all phobias, responds well to a variety of treatment methods. Depending on your therapist 's school of thought, you may be encouraged to probe your past to determine the root cause of your fear. Or you may simply learn techniques for overcoming your current fearful thoughts. Whichever path you take, overcoming gymnophobia takes time and effort, but the rewards are well worth the trouble.

Chorophobia is the irrational fear of which activity? | Chorophobia: Fear of Dancing- Causes, Symptoms and Treatment | Healthtopia Blog Chorophobia: Fear of Dancing- Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Have you ever felt like a lump stuck in your throat when someone asked you for a dance? If you have, you’re not alone. In fact, many people commonly go through an unexplainable rush of fear whenever asked for a dance. Such kind of irrational and intense fear of dance is known as Chorophobia. Chorophobia is derived from Greek Word “Choro” meaning dance. A person having Chorophobia is fearful and extremely uncomfortable of dancing, and scared of getting excited or overjoyed. A chorophobic person is distressed of any situation, ceremony or people associated with dance. The person can be upset merely seeing other people dance in front of them. This kind of phobia is also related with another phobia of getting touched known as haphephobia or aphephobia. What Causes Chorophobia? Different factors seen to be likely causing Chorophobia in people are: A Distressful Event A phobia is always backed up by a related event which caused the distress at first place. In the case of Chorophobia too, a traumatic event can trigger this fear. A person is likely to get chorophobic if he/she had previously faced embarrassment while dancing, or faced through dress malfunctions during the performance. Any such upsetting situation can cause a person to get chorophobic. Other Phobias and Depression Chorophobia can be a spinoff of other specific phobias. One such phobia is the fear of getting touched known as haphephobia. Other phobias that may cause Chorophobia in a person are agoraphobia (fear of public places) and social phobia (fear of social situations). A person is also vulnerable to Chorophobia if he/she had or has suffered from depression and other mental health issues. This makes their mind weak and unable to cope up with sudden arousal and excitements. Upbringing The fear of dancing can also be reflected on the upbringing one has. If a child has been strictly brought up, and prohibited from dance and other such activities, he/she can be extremely fearful of dancing. In fact, he/she may see dance as a sin, and that conducting a dance act might get them punished. The Symptoms of Chorophobia Major symptoms of Chorophobia can be: Extremely fearful and conscious of dancing and places where dancing takes place Uncomfortable and distress by seeing other people dance as well Aggressive combat when asked or pressurized to dance Complete avoidance of places and events involving dance Isolation during such social situations Realizing that the fear is unreasonable ( except in children) Panic attacks with signs such as shivering, nausea and vomiting, dizziness and fainting, feeling confused, numb and getting fixed, heart palpitation, abdominal uneasiness, diarrhea, profuse breathing, sweating and clammy hands When to Visit A Doctor? Different social ceremonies and situations involve dancing and having fun. Chorophobic person can have extremely low self-esteem and low confidence level due to this fear. If the above symptoms have been seen for a long time, exceeding six months and have kept you from involving in social events, you need to consult a doctor. How Is Chorophobia Treated? Chorophobia can be treated using different psychotherapies. In severe cases of panicking, medications may also be used. Exposure therapy with Relaxation Exposure therapy is a very effective psychotherapy used to slowly reduce the fear and anxiety associated with dance. The therapist sets a scene where the person has to dance, or related pictures and movies, and studies how the person reacts. Then, the person is regularly exposed to such scenes and taught to relax oneself slowly. The therapist teaches various relaxation methods such as breathing control, muscle release exercise and mind visualizations which are to be used during the exposure sessions. Eventually, the person will be able to tolerate the fearful feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) CBT is another effective psychotherapy used for treating Chorophobia.

Carlos Magalhães Super Reviewer The very definition of a film noir. Robert Mitchum is spectacular as psychotic preacher and serial killer Harry Powell. Few films actually earn the title "edge of your seat" but this dark and incredibly well made film by first (and only) time director Charles Laughton will certainly have you gripping both seat handles in suspense. Edward Boxler Super Reviewer ½ A phony preacher infiltrates a family in order to find hidden money. I have trouble making sense of Charles Laughton's only directorial effort. On the one hand, the thrills - the film's construction as a suspense - is compelling and oftentimes frightening. The action sequences are well-choreographed, and the performance by Robert Mitchum makes the preacher seem like a predecessor of Hannibal Lector. On the other hand, there are clearly images of religious hypocrisy being deployed here, but there doesn't seem to be a coherent statement about faith's effects or faith as an affect. The foiling of Rachel Cooper and Harry Powell doesn't provide much insight about religion as a guise or a guide. Overall, as a surface thriller, this is quite good, but I think one of us - the film or me - is missing something deeper. Jim Hunter | eng_Latn | 2,440 |
Where on your body might you suffer from a whitlow? | Anxiety in Your Brain: What Happens When Anxiety Attacks? 0 By Dr. Mercola Anxiety is a natural, normal response to potential threats, which puts your body into a heightened state of awareness. When felt appropriately, anxiety is beneficial and can keep you out of harm's way… the anxiety you may feel while hiking near a steep drop-off, for instance, will cause you to be more careful and purposeful in your movements. For an estimated 40 million US adults, however, anxiety may occur even when there's no real threat, causing unnecessary stress and emotional pain. While many believe anxiety and stress to be the same, persistent anxiety actually evokes quite a different experience in your brain. Anxiety in Your Brain: What Happens When Anxiety Attacks? Anxiety does evoke the same "fight or flight" response that stress does, which means, like stress, anxiety will trigger a flood of stress hormones like cortisol designed to enhance your speed, reflexes, heart rate, and circulation. However, stress can occur with feelings of anger, sadness, or even happiness and excitement. Anxiety, on the other hand, virtually always involves a sense of fear, dread, or apprehension. And while stress may occur due to an external source (like an argument with your spouse), anxiety tends to be a more internal response. Further, brief anxiety may coincide with a stressful event (such as speaking in public), but an anxiety disorder will persist for months even when there's no clear reason to be anxious. While the exact causes for anxiety disorders are unknown, your brain is actively involved. The National Institute of Mental Health explains: 1 "Several parts of the brain are key actors in the production of fear and anxiety… scientists have discovered that the amygdala and the hippocampus play significant roles in most anxiety disorders. The amygdala is an almond-shaped structure deep in the brain that is believed to be a communications hub between the parts of the brain that process incoming sensory signals and the parts that interpret these signals. It can alert the rest of the brain that a threat is present and trigger a fear or anxiety response. The emotional memories stored in the central part of the amygdala may play a role in anxiety disorders involving very distinct fears, such as fears of dogs, spiders, or flying. The hippocampus is the part of the brain that encodes threatening events into memories." Your Brain May Become Wired for Anxiety It's thought that anxiety disorders may result from a combination of nature (your genetics) and nurture (your environment). For instance, if you grow up in an environment with frequent yelling or abuse. It might make you prone to looking out for potential threats, even when they're no longer there. In a sense, your brain becomes "wired" for anxiety, such that any potentially undesirable event or emotion becomes cause for alarm. 2 Worse yet, some people are so used to feelings of anxiety that they don't realize there's a problem and simply suffer in silence. As anxious feelings intensify, it can lead to social isolation, physical symptoms, and related mental health problems, like depression. Despite this, it's estimated that only one-third of people with anxiety disorders receive treatment, 3 which is highly recommended if you're struggling with anxiety -- but keep in mind "treatment" doesn't necessarily mean drugs. Unfortunately, most people who suffer with anxiety either do nothing or resort to pharmaceutical drugs – many of which are ineffective and capable of destroying your health and sanity further. Commonly prescribed drugs include benzodiazepine drugs like Ativan, Xanax, and Valium. They exert a calming effect by boosting the action of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the same way as opioids (heroin) and cannabinoids (cannabis) do. This in turn activates the gratification hormone, dopamine, in your brain. Since the identical brain "reward pathways" are used by both types of drugs, they can be equally addictive and also | SculptSite.com: Mark Wallinger Sculpture BD the Architects' Website By Will Hurst Plans for a giant horse intended to become a new landmark in Kent have been given planning permission. EBBSFLEET VALLEY, KENT THAMESIDE, UK - Artist Mark Wallinger's White Horse is 33 times life-size and, overlooking the A2 in the Ebbsfleet Valley, will be seen by up to 60 million people a year. The steel-frame scheme, selected following a competition, was unanimously approved yesterday by Gravesham Borough Council. The backers of the project, Eurostar, Land Securities and London & Continental Railways, have so far injected around £1 million of seed funding to get the project off the ground. Wallinger said: "This is a tremendously exciting project. I was honoured that my White Horse won the competition and I am delighted that Gravesham Borough Council has granted it planning permission. The team and I are very much looking forward to creating a new landmark for the area." Project Director Mark Davy said the sculpture would "act as an important catalyst for the cultural identity of the area". "Ebbsfleet Valley will be a major new mixed-use development, which is set to become a hub for an emerging new economy in the South-east," he added.

What is claustrophobia the fear of? | Claustrophobia: Causes, Symptoms and Treatments - Medical News Today Claustrophobia: Causes, Symptoms and Treatments Written by Mike Paddock 4 83 Claustrophobia is an anxiety disorder in which the sufferer has an irrational fear of having no escape or being closed-in. It frequently results in a panic attack and can be triggered by certain stimuli or situations, such as being in a crowded elevator, a small room without any windows, or being in an airplane. Some patients with claustrophobia find their anxiety levels rise when they wear tight-necked clothing. Contents of this article: Treatments for claustrophobia What is claustrophobia? The word claustrophobia comes from the Latin word claustrum which means "a shut in place" and Greek phobos meaning "fear". Claustrophobia sufferers will commonly try to avoid being in enclosed spaces such as elevators. People with claustrophobia can find the disorder hard to live with, as they will go to great lengths to avoid small spaces and situations that trigger their panic and anxiety. They will avoid certain places like the subway/underground and will prefer to take the stairs over using a lift/elevator no matter how many floors they need to ascend/descend. According to the book "Phobias: A Handbook of Theory, Research and Treatment" 4, published by Wiley, between 15% and 37% of people worldwide are affected by claustrophobia. Even though many of them have severe symptoms, a very small percentage ever receive some kind of treatment for the disorder. The National Health Service 5, UK, says that claustrophobia affects about 10% of the UK population. Signs and symptoms of claustrophobia A symptom is something the patient feels or reports, while a sign is something that other people, including the doctor detects. A headache may be an example of a symptom, while a rash may be an example of a sign. According to the NYU Langone Medical Center 6, claustrophobia typically develops during the individual's childhood or teenage years. Claustrophobia is an anxiety disorder. An afflicted person has symptoms of anxiety that are triggered by being in a confined space, or the thought of it. The sufferer dreads not being able to breathe properly, running out of oxygen, along with distress at being restricted. When anxiety levels reach a certain level, the following physical signs of claustrophobia are possible: Sweating Hot flashes (UK: hot flushes) Shaking or trembling Fear of actual harm or illness Chocking sensation Tightness in the chest, sometimes chest pain An urge to go to the toilet Confusion and/or disorientation. It is not necessarily the small spaces that trigger the anxiety but the fear of what can happen to the person if confined to that area, hence the fear of running out of oxygen. Examples of small spaces that could trigger anxiety are: elevators/lifts subway trains (UK: tube/underground trains) small rooms hotel rooms with windows that do not open revolving doors cars - especially if they have central locking trains automatic car-washes some medical devices, such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanners. As claustrophobia is also defined by the phobia of being restricted, being confined to one area can also trigger the anxiety, for example, having to wait in line at a checkout/cash register). As the above situations can trigger severe anxiety and panic attacks in people with claustrophobia, they will try their best to avoid them. The Government of Victoria 1 in Australia gives the following examples how people with claustrophobia may behave or react: As soon as they enter a room they may urgently check out where the exits are and position themselves near them. When all the doors are closed they may feel more anxious. In a crowded party, even if the venue is a large and spacious room, they will try to position themselves near the door. Avoid driving during peak times, when traffic is likely to be congested Avoid traveling as a passenger in a car during the rush hour In severe cases, some individuals with claustrophobia may panic when a door is closed Avoid using elevators and use t | Eustachian Tube Function, Anatomy & Diagram | Body Maps Your message has been sent. OK We're sorry, an error occurred. We are unable to collect your feedback at this time. However, your feedback is important to us. Please try again later. Close Pharyngotympanic tube The eustachian tube is a canal that connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx, which consists of the upper throat and the back of the nasal cavity. It controls the pressure within the middle ear, making it equal with the air pressure outside the body. Most of the time the eustachian tube is closed, opening only during activities such as yawning, swallowing, and chewing, to allow air through the passage between the middle ear and nasopharynx. When atmospheric pressure changes rapidly, causing a sudden feeling of blockage in the ear (such as during airplane travel), these activities can be done on purpose to open the tube and equalize the pressure within the middle ear. When the eustachian tube will not open enough to equalize pressure, symptoms such as discomfort, dizziness, or ringing in the ear may result. Visual examination of the eardrum with a lighted scope helps to determine if the cause is inflammation, swelling, or fluid in the ear. Conditions such as nasal congestion, infection of the ear or sinus, or allergies may cause these symptoms and lead to eustachian tube problems. These causes can often be treated with decongestant medication or antibiotics, but in severe cases, surgery may be necessary. | eng_Latn | 2,442 |
What word is used to describe the fear of open spaces? | Agoraphobia | definition of agoraphobia by Medical dictionary Agoraphobia | definition of agoraphobia by Medical dictionary http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/agoraphobia Related to agoraphobia: social phobia Agoraphobia Definition The word agoraphobia is derived from Greek words literally meaning "fear of the marketplace." The term is used to describe an irrational and often disabling fear of being out in public. Description Agoraphobia is just one type of phobia, or irrational fear. People with phobias feel dread or panic when they face certain objects, situations, or activities. People with agoraphobia frequently also experience panic attacks, but panic attacks, or panic disorder, are not a requirement for a diagnosis of agoraphobia. The defining feature of agoraphobia is anxiety about being in places from which escape might be embarrasing or difficult, or in which help might be unavailable. The person suffering from agoraphobia usually avoids the anxiety-provoking situation and may become totally housebound. Causes and symptoms Agoraphobia is the most common type of phobia, and it is estimated to affect between 5-12% of Americans within their lifetime. Agoraphobia is twice as common in women as in men and usually strikes between the ages of 15-35. The symptoms of the panic attacks which may accompany agoraphobia vary from person to person, and may include trembling, sweating, heart palpitations (a feeling of the heart pounding against the chest), jitters, fatigue, tingling in the hands and feet, nausea, a rapid pulse or breathing rate, and a sense of impending doom. Key terms Benzodiazepines — A group of tranquilizers often used to treat anxiety. Desensitization — A treatment for phobias which involves exposing the phobic person to the feared situation. It is often used in conjunction with relaxation techniques. Phobia — An intense and irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation. Agoraphobia and other phobias are thought to be the result of a number of physical and environmental factors. For instance, they have been associated with biochemical imbalances, especially related to certain neurotransmitters (chemical nerve messengers) in the brain. People who have a panic attack in a given situation (e.g., a shopping mall) may begin to associate the panic with that situation and learn to avoid it. According to some theories, irrational anxiety results from unresolved emotional conflicts. All of these factors may play a role to varying extents in different cases of agoraphobia. Diagnosis People who suffer from panic attacks should discuss the problem with a physician. The doctor can diagnose the underlying panic or anxiety disorder and make sure the symptoms aren't related to some other underlying medical condition. The doctor makes the diagnosis of agoraphobia based primarily on the patient's description of his or her symptoms. The person with agoraphobia experiences anxiety in situations where escape is difficult or help is unavailable-or in certain situations, such as being alone. While many people are somewhat apprehensive in these situations, the hallmark of agoraphobia is that a person's active avoidance of the feared situation impairs his or her ability to work, socialize, or otherwise function. Treatment Treatment for agoraphobia usually consists of both medication and psychotherapy. Usually, patients can benefit from certain antidepressants, such as amitriptyline (Elavil), or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors , such as paroxetine (Paxil), fluoxetine (Prozac), or sertraline (Zoloft). In addition, patients may manage panic attacks in progress with certain tranquilizers called benzodiazepines , such as alprazolam (Xanax) or clonazepam (Klonipin). The mainstay of treatment for agoraphobia and other phobias is cognitive behavioral therapy. A specific technique that is often employed is called desensitization. The patient is gradually exposed to the situation that usually triggers fear and avoidance, and, with the help of breathing or relaxation techniques, learns to cope with the s | What was Scrabble’s Original Name? | Dictionary.com Blog Home » History » Language » What was Scrabble’s Original Name? What was Scrabble’s Original Name? March 26, 2011 by: Dictionary.com 54 Comments Great things can come out of hard times — take Scrabble . During the Great Depression, architect Alfred Mosher Butts couldn’t find work. So he decided to create a board game that required the vocabulary skills of anagrams and crossword puzzles but also had an element of chance. Butts hand-drew the original board with architectural drafting equipment. He also hand-lettered the tiles. He studied the front page of the New York Times, the New York Herald Tribune, and The Saturday Evening Post to calculate the frequency of each letter in the alphabet and then came up with a point value system. At first, the game was named Lexiko. Then he called it Criss-Cross Words. Butts’ story was not one of success from the start. He tried and failed to sell Criss-Cross Words to game manufacturers. Milton Bradley rejected the game in 1933. James Brunot came on board as a business partner, and renamed the game Scrabble, which means “to scratch or scrape” and “to scrawl.” (On the topic of game names, have you ever wondered what “sudoku” literally means? Here’s the answer .) Then Butts and Brunot set up a Scrabble factory in an abandoned schoolhouse in Connecticut. Times were tough until Macy’s began selling the game in the early 1950s. Soon people around the country were eager to test their vocabulary skills with the game. Do you consider yourself a Scrabble whiz? Test yourself with these Scrabble facts. What is the OSPD4?

But even if you are affected by this phobia, not necessarily you will refuse to be seen naked by everyone and anyone. It is an uncomfortable fear that pushes the person into feelings of profound embarrassment and mental harassment. Gymnophobia From A Comprehensive Perspective At first instance, Gymnophobia may seem a very irrational fear, but those suffering from the phobia can explain that it rises from a feeling of physical inadequacy. The fear also stem from a certain incident where the victim was disclosed in front of the others that must have sparked a feeling of awkwardness in the mind. This leaves a persistent mark of stress and anxiety, which burgeon into phobia in the later stage. So, if you are suffering from this type of phobia, then it is best advised to seek help immediately to expel the gripping fear from the mind. However, some cases are exceptional where such fear arrives only in dreams. But dreams take a toll on the real lives, with its growing intensity. If you are gymnophobics, then it may so happen that you may fear a situation where you are amidst a public crowd, when you suddenly realize that that you are completely naked. It is not unnatural that you may be intensely anxious of sexuality and be reluctant to get into intimate situation with any one. Gymnophobics are sensitive about circumstances where they fear about negligible things like taking a shower in the bathroom or changing clothes in front of people. You will possibly live in a morbid fear throughout your life, unless you have the will power to overcome it. Reasons Giving Rise To Gymnophobia This type of phobia is basically caused by the unconscious mind as the protective mechanism. The present situation is always linked to some past event at some point in your life when you must have confronted an event linking to emotional trauma and nudity. Remember that, the original catalyst is a real-life scare and the fear haunts the rest of life. Some kind of movies and TV programs may also trigger this kind of situation. But at the end of it all, the phobia does not erupt abruptly but with reasons from the past. The Symptoms The symptoms include rapid breath, shortness of breath, nausea, sweating, feelings of dread and irregular heart beat. But different people feel the fear in their own way and this depends upon their past stories and happenings. How To Cure Gymnophobia NLP is a sure fire treatment for gymnophobia.

My present day cyberspace name of �Ironman� is actually an old college fraternity house nickname from back when athletes rarely saw the inside of a weight room. At best, one might be using some old Universal gym machines and doing free weight squats �back in the day�. Strength sport athletes did little lifting and only then in the off-season. I got the name because I loved to climb to the little weight room on the 3rd floor of a big old brick field house built in the 1800�s and throw the iron around. I owe a great deal of my success in athletics over the years to weightlifting in a classic old gym starting as a 5-foot 102 lb. 13 yr. old who wanted to play high school football. By my senior year, having gained 20 lb. a year, I was introduced to the Olympic lifts. I have always loved the lifting part of training or conditioning. However, I can also readily admit that strength training and especially the free weight lifting part of it is only one piece of learning to become a proficient hammer thrower, i.e., one who can throw far using good technique. While there are some good resistance training exercises that benefit all of the throws, I will focus specifically on what exercises and lifts are most beneficial for the hammer event.

Monophobia is a fear of what? | Monophobia - the Fear of Being Alone By Lisa Fritscher - Reviewed by a board-certified physician. Updated April 21, 2016 Question: What Is the Fear of Being Alone? Answer: Monophobia, or the fear of being alone, is a catch-all term for several discrete fears. Some people are afraid of being apart from a particular person. Some fear living alone or being in public alone. Still others are afraid of being alone at home. Nervousness while alone is surprisingly common, but a full-blown phobia is relatively rare. Fear of Being Apart from Someone Most people can identify one or a few people that act as a support system. Humans are social creatures, and we feel most comfortable when we can share our successes and challenges with someone we especially trust. Spouses often feel uncomfortable when a partner is on a business trip or otherwise away from home, children may have difficulty staying with extended family, and teens might panic when a best friend moves away. Most of the time, these feelings are mild and relatively short-lived. Talking on the phone or online is often enough to assuage the distress. Some families create rituals, such as having the same thing for dinner or sending special e-mails at the same time each night, to honor the relationship. These rituals take on particular importance when a family member is gone for more than a few days. For some people, however, panic sets in whenever a particular loved one leaves the house. If you have this fear, you might become anxious when your loved one goes to work, visits with friends or participates in a hobby. In extreme cases, some people are afraid for the loved one to be in a different room of the house. This fear is common in small children . It is generally considered a normal part of development, and is not diagnosed as a condition -- usually separation anxiety disorder -- unless it lasts six months or is unusually severe. Check with your pediatrician if your child appears to be in particular distress. Fear of Being Alone in Public The fear of being alone in public may be linked to conditions such as social phobia or agoraphobia. If you are uncomfortable being around strangers, a friend or family member is comforting. A companion is someone for you to focus on, as well as someone to divert the attention of strangers. Many people with this fear feel awkward and uncomfortable, as if they are in the spotlight, when dining or shopping alone. Fear of Being Alone at Home Fears of being alone at home often, though not always, revolve around fears of emergency situations arising. Burglaries, home repair problems, and personal injury are commonly-cited fears. These fears may be heightened in people who do not fully trust themselves and their own judgment. You might worry that you will react poorly should an emergency arise. Some people are afraid of being alone with their thoughts. If you suffer from depression or anxiety, you may try to combat your feelings by staying busy. You might fear that if you have no one to talk to, you will be unable to cope with your thoughts. Keep in mind that that this is a form of loneliness . Feeling truly "alone" may indicate a personality disorder , although the difference is subtle. Seek advice from a trained professional if you are unsure what you are feeling. Of course, in some situations, fear may be prudent. Phobias are never diagnosed when the fear is reasonable and in proportion to the situation. If you suffer from certain medical conditions or live in a dangerous neighborhood, your concern might be entirely reasonable. Many people in these situations find ways of minimizing risk, such as getting a dog or a medical alert system. Fear of Living Alone The fear of living alone is often an extension of the fear of being alone at home. Some people are comfortable staying at home for an afternoon or even a couple of days, but are uncomfortable with the idea of spending protracted time periods living alone. Like the fear of being home alone, this fear is commonly rooted in a lack of self-confidence. You may worry that you will be unable to t | Mockingbird Heights | Headhunter's Horror House Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Headhunter's Horror House Wiki Mockingbird Heights is a fictional town featured in the popular comedy television program The Munsters .

What is the cause of Panic attacks and is there remedy? | Panic attack\n\nA panic attack is a period of intense fear or psychological distress, typically of abrupt onset and lasting no more than thirty minutes. Symptoms may include trembling, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sweating, nausea, dizziness, hyperventilation, paresthesias (tingling sensations), and sensations of choking or smothering. Repeated and apparently unprovoked panic attacks may be a sign of panic disorder, but panic attacks are associated with other anxiety disorders as well. For example, people who suffer from phobias may experience panic attacks upon exposure to certain triggers.\n\nIntroduction\n\nMost sufferers of panic attacks report a fear of dying, "going crazy", or losing control of emotions or behavior. These feelings generally provoke a strong urge to escape or flee the place where the attack began ("fight or flight" reaction) and, when associated with chest pain or shortness of breath, a feeling of impending doom and/or tunnel vision, frequently result in the sufferer seeking medical attention.\n\nThe panic attack is distinguished from other forms of anxiety by its intensity and its sudden, episodic nature. Panic attacks are often experienced by sufferers of anxiety disorders and other psychological conditions involving anxiety, though panic attacks are not always indicative of a mental disorder, nor are they uncommon. Up to 10 percent of otherwise healthy people experience an isolated panic attack per year, and 1 in 60 people in the U.S. will suffer from a panic disorder at some point in their lifetime.\n\nPeople with phobias will often experience panic attacks as a direct result of exposure to their trigger. These panic attacks are usually short-lived and self-limiting, as they will subside once the trigger no longer present.\n\nIn conditions of chronic anxiety, one panic attack can roll into another, leading to nervous exhaustion over a period of days.\n\nSymptoms\n\nThe symptoms of a panic attack appear suddenly, without any apparent cause. They may include:\n\nRacing or pounding heartbeat or palpitations \nSweating \nChest pain/PVCs \nDizziness, lightheadedness, nausea \nDifficulty breathing (dyspnea) \nTingling or numbness in the hands, face, feet or mouth \nA sudden feeling that everything around the person represents a threat. This can cause a person to either behave extremely defensively (perhaps even assuming the fetal position), or to become enraged and lash out violently. \nThe loss of the ability to react logically to oncoming stimuli, and the loss of cognitive ability in general. One suffering from a panic attack will often only feel the attack and will be unable to assess why they are feeling the attack or what they can do to stop the sensation. \nFlushed face and chest \nChills \nDream-like sensation or perceptual distortion (derealization) \nDissociation, or the perception that one is not connected to the body or is disconnected from space and time (depersonalization) \nTerror, or a sense that something unimaginably horrible is about to occur and one is powerless to prevent it \nVomiting \nTunnel vision \nFear of losing control and doing something embarrassing or going crazy \nFear of dying \nFeeling of impending doom \nTrembling or "shivering" \nCrying \nHeightened senses \nLoud internal dialogue \nExhaustion \nVertigo \n\nA panic attack typically lasts from 2 to 8 minutes. More severe panic attacks may form a series of episodes waxing and waning every few minutes, only to be ended by physical exhaustion and sleep.\n\nThe various symptoms of a panic attack can be understood as follows. First, there is the sudden onset of fear with little or no provoking stimulus. This leads to a release of adrenaline (epinephrine) which brings about the so-called fight-or-flight response where the person's body prepares for major physical activity. This leads to an increased heart rate (tachycardia), rapid breathing (hyperventilation), and sweating (which incr | * get a massage\n* Go for walks alone\n* go swimming or do laps at a pool\n* meditate\n* get a hobby\n* jump off a bridge (only a safe one.

I have been on klonophoin,lexapro,and buspar. Buspar did nothing for me because it really did not target aniexty but depression which I do not have. Klonophin and lexapro made me sick to my stomach so now I'm on Zoloft for generalized anxiety. I just moved back home to Illinois from Arizona and there is alot of stress moving back home when you have been on your own for four years. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. | I am currently taking Zoloft and have been on it about a year now. I have found it to be helpful with my depression. Some others have mentioned difficulties with the drug, and I wanted to note that the reason there are so many anti-depressant/anti-anxiety drugs available is that people react in many different ways to different chemical combinations. Trying different drugs is an unfortunate, but necessary, part of relieving some of these symptoms. Another note: Many anti-depressants have been known to result in suicidal/homicidal ideation and actions in teenagers. Teenagers seem to have a different brain chemistry than adults and react very differently to these meds. Final note: The reason I chose Zoloft (and I chose it -- my psychiatrist is an idiot) is because it is one of the safest medications to use while nursing. Good luck with Zoloft -- hopefully you will settle in at home and life will get better! | >Anxiety attacks or panic attacks:\nPanic disorder is real and potentially disabling, but it can be controlled with specific treatments. Because of the disturbing symptoms that accompany panic disorder, it may be mistaken for heart disease or some other life-threatening medical illness. This misconception often aggravates or triggers future attacks in the uninformed. People frequently go to hospital emergency rooms when they are having a panic attack, and extensive medical tests may be performed to rule out these other conditions.\n\nTreatment for panic disorder includes medications and a type of psychotherapy known as cognitive-behavioral therapy, which teaches people about the nature of panic attacks, the cycles of negative thoughts, and demonstrated ways to interrupt the panic process.\n\nMedications can be used to break the psychological connection between a specific phobia and panic attacks, reducing future panic attacks. Medications can include antidepressants (SSRI's, MAOI's, etc.) taken every day, or anti-anxiety drugs (benzodiazepines, e.g. -- Valium, Ativan, Xanax, etc.) during or in anticipation of panic attacks. Exposure to the phobia trigger multiple times without a resulting panic attack (due to medication) can often break the phobia-panic pattern, allowing people to function around their phobia without the help of medications. However, for minor phobias that develop as a result of the panic attack, with early detection these can be eliminated without medication through monitored cognitive-behavioral therapy or simply by reinserting oneself into the phobic activity. The decision to participate in this therapy personally or through a registered practitioner should always be left to a medical professional.\n\nOften, a combination of psychotherapy and medications produces good results. Some improvement may be noticed in a fairly short period of time--about 6 to 8 weeks. Thus appropriate treatment by an experienced professional can prevent panic attacks or at least substantially reduce their severity and frequency--bringing significant relief to 70 to 90 percent of people with panic disorder. [2] Relapses may occur, but they can often be effectively treated just like the initial episode.\n\nIn addition, people with panic disorder may need treatment for other emotional problems. Clinical depression has often been associated with panic disorder, as have alcoholism and drug addiction. About 30% of people with panic disorder use alcohol and 17% use drugs such as cocaine or marijuana to alleviate the anguish and distress caused by their condition. Research has also suggested that suicide attempts are more frequent in people with panic disorder, although this research remains controversial.\n\nAs with many disorders, having a support structure of family and friends who understand the condition can help increase the rate of recovery. During an attack, it is not uncommon for the sufferer to develop irrational, immediate fear, which can often be dispelled by a supporter who is familiar with the condition. For more serious or active treatment, there are support groups for anxiety sufferers which can help people understand and deal with the disorder.\n\nOther forms of treatment include journalling, in which a patient records their day-to-day activities and emotions in a log to find and deal with their personal stresses, and breathing exercises, such as diaphragmatic breathing. Stress-relieving activities such as tai-chi, yoga, and physical exercise can also help ameliorate the causes of panic disorder. Many physicians will recommend stress-management, time-management, and emotion-balancing classes and seminars to help patients avoid anxiety in the future. | eng_Latn | 2,466 |

I would really have to look at your skin to have enough information, but there is one possibility that occurs to me, and that is vitiligo. If that is the case, then the condition is really harmless, and all that you have to do is be careful of sun exposure. My mom has it, and she has never had any real problems except that she burns easily on those areas. See the link for more information.\n\nVitiligo would appear as patches of skin (the size of the patches varies) that have lost their pigment - like small areas of albino skin. However, you do need to have a diagnosis and make sure that there is nothing else that is going on. \n\nBest of luck.\n\nIf you would like to research the condition more, simply do a search for "vitiligo" in the Yahoo search engine. There are many sites, and there are also sites with pictures, FAQs, and treatment details. | Don't listen to that guy, you are not going crazy.\n\nI have panic attacks it varies from person to person but usually the symptoms are sweating, heart racing, shallow breathing, feeling unable to breath, caulstrphobic, wanting to get away in a hurry, feeling like your going crazy, or feeling very anxoius and nervous all of a sudden.\n\nThere are lots of website that are great for panic attacks and the more you read about them the less frightning they are just type panic attacks into a search.\n\nJust remeber that it may feel uncomfortable but it will end, it usually cos up and up and up (anxiety), but eventually it will go down and go away.\n\nPractice breathing in for 5 sec through your nose, holding it for five seconds, then breathing out either nose or mouth for five seconds, this should make the panic attack shorter or do when you feel anxious, or distact yourself whenever it happens, read something start up a converstaion or sing a song (if your alone or driving) cos this too makes you breath as above! | eng_Latn | 2,468 |

Sometimes I have problems breathing for no reason, feel very hot for a few seconds, and pain in my breast.? | One of the most frightening things you may find yourself experiencing is a "Panic attack" and it is very difficult to fully explain how it feels unless you have experienced one. The very first Panic attack often seems to come completely "out of the blue" and occurs whilst you are doing something that you do every day like driving to work, shopping, walking the dog, watching TV, cooking etc. Suddenly you are struck by a barrage of frightening and uncomfortable symptoms and you are convinced that something terrible is going to happen to you there and then. \n\nPanic attacks can start for many reasons such as stress, overworking, bereavement, family, an accident, childbirth, following surgery and so on but at the time panic strikes for the first time you think you are doing fine and there seems to be no apparent reason at all. If you have subsequent panic attacks they too may seem to be unpredictable and random. There is now emerging evidence that anxiety and panic may have a genetic link.\n\nPeople that have never had a Panic attack assume that that it is just a feeling of nervousness or anxiety, but in reality the attacks are far more frightening and overwhelming. If nervousness is a 3 on a scale of 1-10, then a full blown panic attack is 11. \n\nWhat often happens next is that you begin to associate the Panic attack with the activity or place you were at the time so you start to avoid that situation. This is where the problems begin as each time you are forced into the situation that caused the attack, you automatically assume that it will happen again and start to re-live the feelings and this leads to agoraphobia and limiting of activities and leading a normal life.\n\n\nPanic disorder can be frightening, disabling, and frustrating both to recover from and to live with someone with it. \n\nGetting appropriate and quick medical help is not easy and the slide from anxiety to panic and then to agoraphobia can progress quickly without intervention and support.\n\nOften the sufferer will not go out as they say they 'know' they are going to faint or 'have a heart attack'. See the "Symptoms" section for explanations of these feelings and the reasons for them. Please read the "Help yourself" section for some really useful information on how to cope.\n\nAs Panic can strike very quickly and often the trigger is not apparant, there is usually little warning that it is about to happen. It is not surprising, therefore, that many sufferers avoid situations that they think or 'know' might cause the panic attacks to happen. This leads to fears of situations or places that last caused anxiety and so the sufferer avoids them at all costs! This is agoraphobia. The problem here is that it can take months, even years, to re-educate the individual that it is their thoughts and assumptions that are to blame for these attacks and not the place at all but it still takes a long time to return to such places.\n\nTalking from experience, I avoid public transport because of several incidents in taxis where I was terrified and therefore starting associating any Public Transport with 'fear' and 'panic'. The problem then 'spread' to include trains, buses and eventually I was unable to get in the car with someone else driving. This is still a problem today. I do drive myself but the problems do not stop there!\n\nI was once told that if you 'sit a Panic attack out' to see how bad it can actually get it will reach a point where it can't get any worse and you 'automatically' start to calm down. \n\nIf you suffer from severe anxiety or panic attacks, but don't know it, then you can end up going to numerous doctors/ A+E departments with a variety of symptoms and self diagnosis only to be told that there is nothing medically wrong with you and you are not given any help, information or solutions.
