20-September-2008 10:21:21 - Anxiety Anxiety Classification and external resources ICD-9 300 This article is about state anxiety. For information on susceptibility to anxiety, see trait anxiety. Solicitude redirects here. For the crime, see solicitation. Anxiety also called solicitude is a psychological and physiological state characterized by cognitive, somatic, emotional, and behavioral components1. These components combine to create the painful feelings that we typically recognize as anger, fear, apprehension, or worry. Anxiety is often accompanied by physical sensations such as heart palpitations, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, stomach aches, or headache. The cognitive component entails expectation of a diffuse and certain danger. Somatically the body prepares the organism to deal with threat known as an emergency reaction: blood pressure and heart rate are increased, sweating is increased, bloodflow to the major muscle groups is increased, and immune and digestive system functions are inhibited the 'fight or flight' response. Externally, somatic signs of anxiety may include pale skin, sweating, trembling, and pupillary dilation. Emotionally, anxiety causes a sense of dread or panic and physically causes nausea, diarrhea, and chills. Behaviorally, both voluntary and involuntary behaviors may arise directed at escaping or avoiding the source of anxiety and often maladaptive, being most extreme in anxiety disorders. However, anxiety is not always pathological or maladaptive: it is a common emotion along with fear, anger, sadness, and happiness, and it has a very important function in relation to survival. Neural circuitry involving the amygdala and hippocampus is thought to underlie anxiety2. When confronted with unpleasant and potentially harmful stimuli such as foul odors or tastes, PET-scans show increased bloodflow in the amygdala.34 In these studies, the participants also reported moderate anxiety. This might indicate that anxiety is a protective mechanism designed to prevent the organism from engaging in potentially harmful behaviors. Contents 1 Symptoms 2 Types of anxiety 2.1 Existential anxiety 2.2 Test anxiety 2.3 Stranger and social anxiety 3 Anxiety in palliative care 4 See also 5 References Symptoms Although panic attacks are not experienced by every anxiety sufferer, they are a common symptom. Panic attacks usually come without warning, and although the fear is generally irrational, the perceived danger is very real. A person experiencing a panic attack will often feel as if he or she is about to die or pass out. Emotional symptoms of anxiety include a fear such as a fear of an illness, or the need to avoid certain stressful situations or social situations due to fear of embarrassment. There may be considerable confusion and irritability when the anxiety is taking place. Physical symptoms include hot flashes, chest pain, sudden tiredness, headaches, shortness of breath, problems digesting and nausea.

Theologian Paul Tillich characterized existential anxiety5 as the state in which a being is aware of its possible nonbeing and he listed three categories for the nonbeing and resulting anxiety: ontic fate and death, moral guilt and condemnation, and spiritual emptiness and meaninglessness. According to Tillich, the last of these three types of existential anxiety is predominant in modern times while the others were predominant in earlier periods. Tillich argues that this anxiety can be accepted as part of the human condition or it can be resisted but with negative consequences. In its pathological form, spiritual anxiety may tend to drive the person toward the creation of certitude in systems of meaning which are supported by tradition and authority even though such undoubted certitude is not built on the rock of reality. According to Viktor Frankl, author of Man's Search for Meaning, when faced with extreme mortal dangers the very basic of all human wishes is to find a meaning of life to combat this trauma of nonbeing as death is near and succumbing to it even by suicide seems attractive. The father of existentialism, Søren Kierkegaard, regarded all humans to be born into despair by default in The Sickness Unto Death. Such despair was created by having a false conception of the self. He regarded the mortal self which can exist relatively, and therefore be born or die, as the false self. The true self was the relationship of self to God, rather than to any relative object. Test anxiety Main article: Test anxiety Test anxiety is the uneasiness, apprehension, or nervousness felt by students who have a fear of failing an exam. Students suffering from test anxiety may experience any of the following: the association of grades with personal worth, fear of embarrassment by a teacher, fear of alienation from parents or friends, time pressures, or feeling a loss of control. Emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and physical components can all be present in test anxiety. Sweating, dizziness, headaches, racing heartbeats, nausea, fidgeting, and drumming on a desk are all common. An optimal level of arousal is necessary to best complete a task such as an exam; however, when the anxiety or level of arousal exceeds that optimum, it results in a decline in performance. Because test anxiety hinges on fear of negative evaluation, debate exists as to whether test anxiety is itself a unique anxiety disorder or whether it is a specific type of social phobia. In 2006, approximately 49% of high school students were reportedly experiencing this condition. While the term test anxiety refers specifically to students, many adults share the same experience with regard to their career or profession. The fear of failing a task and being negatively evaluated for it can have a similarly negative effect on the adult. Stranger and social anxiety Main articles: Stranger anxiety, Socialisation, and Social anxiety Anxiety when meeting or interacting with unknown people is a common stage of development in young people. So-called stranger anxiety in younger people is not a phobia in the classic sense; rather it is a developmentally appropriate fear by young children of those who do not share a loved-one, caretaker or parenting role. In adults, an excessive fear of other people is not a developmentally common stage; it is called social anxiety. A more common social anxiety in adults, though, is the stress and anxiousness that occurs when one of any age-group fears he will be separated from a group or other emotionally close person/object. This is known as separation anxiety, and occurs more frequently in adults 7% than in children 5%. Anxiety in palliative care Some research has strongly suggested that treating anxiety in cancer patients improves their quality of life.citation needed The treatment generally consists of counseling, relaxation techniques or the administration of benzodiazepines.citation needed See also Wikiquote has a collection of quotations related to: Anxiety Look up anxiety in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
