ANXIETY NEUROSIS
 

     Very often seen condition amongst the females specially the young mothers. Even men also have this but to a lesser extent almost half in number.
     Anxiety is a feeling of apprehension, worry or dread. It is normal for people to worry, but some people worry excessively and uncontrollably. It is considered a disorder if the anxiety has been going on for more then 6 months. Anxiety neurosis is a disorder where the patient is excessively and inappropriately anxious and often this state is associated with other symptoms such as Chest Pain, Constriction of the throat, or Cold, sweaty extremities.
     The anxiety and worry of anxiety neurosis disorder are so extreme that they become difficult to control. In addition, the person experiences three or more of the following symptoms: Restlessness, Easy fatigue, Difficulty in Concentrating, Irritability, Muscle Tension, and Disturbed Sleep. Worries are general in nature; common worries include work responsibilities, money, health, safety, car repairs, and chores. The severity, frequency, or duration of the worries is disproportionately greater than the situation calls for. It also has an impact on the physical well being of the sufferer. Symptoms include Palpitaions or Increased Heartbeat, Muscular Pain and Tension, Frequent Urination, Cold Clammy Sweat ,Chills or Hot Flushes, Epigastric Discomfort, Flatulance, Loud Belching, Nausea Vomiting & Dizziness.
     The precise reason for this disorder is not fully understood. However there is strong link of this disorder with heredity and genetic predispositions. This genetic proneness when topped with faulty upbringing and education or stresses at work place or home can trigger the disease. The course of this condition is variable but tends to be fluctuating and chronic.
     Homoeopathy has an edge over treating such cases as it deals with the sensitivity of the nature of the person concerned.
     Homoeopathic medicines working at root level, can counter the genetic proneness to the condition. Homoeopathy has very effective medicines to deal with all the emotional and bodily symptoms associated with disorder. The point that should be emphasized is that the benefits of homoeopathy are devoid of any side-effects in contrast to conventional anti-depressants and anxiolytics prescribed for the condition. Homoeopathy is very strongly recommended for anxiety neurosis for better results.
