There are several different types of anxiety, but they all fall into one of three categories.
The first category is called situational anxiety. This type of anxiety occurs when you're in a new or unfamiliar situation and experience a rush of adrenaline and tension. The more familiar you are with the situation, the less likely it is to cause you stress; for example, if you're visiting your friend's house for the first time, you may feel some situational anxiety about meeting their family or getting lost on their street. But if you go there often, those same things will probably make you feel more relaxed.
The second category is called social anxiety. This type of anxiety typically occurs when people are afraid that others will judge them negatively or put them down because of something they do or say. It can also include fear of being rejected by other people or fear that others won't like them because they don't live up to certain expectations set by society (or by themselves).
The third category is called generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), which is an ongoing feeling of worry and fear that persists even after an event has passed.
It's important to figure out what's wrong and treat it accordingly. This is the part that we feel where most go wrong. The very beginning when they're prescribed the medications not taking consideration of the persons total health and environment.
For some people, their medication may allow them to stay stable and in control temporarily. However, it doesn't change the fact that when the time comes to stop you'll experience withdrawal symptoms that are difficult to bare. This can make it impossible to think clearly about what you need to do next and how to really effectively quit the drug. Many if not most people get to a point where they're unable to stop no matter how hard they try. While back on the drug those effects are very harmful so you're left literally damned if you do take them and damned if you don't stop... but you can't.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety affects 40 million American adults. WOW! 40 million.... think about that number. And we commonly prescribe pharmaceuticals that can both cause and increase this condition.
If you've been on any kind of anxiety medication for any length of time, you know how it feels—the zaps, the zings, the bad dreams, the racing thoughts, and all of the other unpleasant side effects.
Another problem is that when we're dealing with an overactive mind and body, we often don't realize that our gut is having an issue too. Our digestive system is incredibly sensitive to stress—and when we're dealing with anxiety, our bodies are flooded with stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.
The gut-brain connection is a two-way street: what happens in your brain affects your gut, and what happens in your gut affects your brain. When you're feeling anxious, it isn't solely because of the chemicals in your brain—it's also because of how they're interacting with the bacteria in your gut.
When you take medications, it affects both sides of this process. First, it changes how certain neurotransmitters are released in your brain. Second, it influences the bacteria that live in your gut by making them more susceptible to antibiotics. These two changes can have an impact on each other: for example, if you take an antibiotic after taking a benzodiazepine for several months, it can kill off some of those healthy bacteria that helped regulate your moods.
