Many people around the world live under the yoke of anxiety and angst.
Between worry, despair and loss of desire to live, this disorder abuses those who are affected.
These disorders are rooted in the frequency of questions of a philosophical nature asked by those affected; the daily life of the individual revolves around these questions.
Over time, they turn into real poisons.
The consequences of these troubles are colossal.
It is therefore necessary to be cured, to live a fulfilling existence.
In this article, we’ll comb through anxiety-related disorders and existential panic attacks.
Also, we will take a closer look at the different treatments to be followed to completely cure it.
Anxiety and existential panic attack: What should you know?
Anxiety and existential anxiety attack: different concepts of stress
Indeed, stress generally results in simple fear.
When faced with an ambiguous situation, the pressure mounts and stress inevitably arises.
It manifests as a fast heartbeat and difficult or suffocating breathing.
As a result, the body sweats enough and vomiting can accompany it.
On the other hand, existential anxiety differs from simple stress.
Indeed, even if existential anxiety disorder contains strands of stress, stress does not necessarily come with an existential anxiety attack.
Existential anxiety is a psychological and behavioral disorder that goes beyond a simple state of stress.
Indeed, it results in fear and deep concerns.
The individual suffering from existential anxiety is exposed to mental ruminations on the meaning of his life, his being and his future.
All his reflections are oriented towards his past or towards his failures.
The patient is therefore flooded with negative thoughts.
The causes and manifestations of anxiety and existential anguish
The origin and provenance of existential angst are very unclear.
However, the occurrence of this disorder is justified by a lack of response.
Given their inability to find possible solutions, the individual gets used to thinking excessively.
This abuse of the reflexive function has the immediate corollary of the appearance of an emotional blockage.
The signs of anxiety and existential angst don’t fool you.
The affected individual has many questions.
The patient’s hobby is indeed self-questioning.
These questions generally have philosophical connotations.
Also, it is not uncommon for the patient to experience regular panic attacks.
Anxiety and existential panic attack are very harmful.
It is common to see scenes of self-violence.
The affected individual can self-mutilate.
Also, the relationships he maintains at work, at school or with family are deeply damaged.
Isolation, shyness, anger and fear of being in contact with the outside world take place.
In addition, existential anxiety breeds demons linked to various types of addiction.
Thus, dependence on alcohol, tobacco and the taking of prohibited substances are proven consequences of existential anxiety.
The risk of overdosing or attempting suicide is also high.
The individual with anxiety and existential disorders is constantly exposed to recklessness or recklessness.
In fact, he takes fewer precautions and regularly puts his life and the lives of others in danger.
The best is to find solutions there in order to avoid the worst.
Fortunately, alternatives exist to correct these disorders.
If they are followed rigorously, the patient can recover quite quickly.
