Anxiety: Hope and solution

Anxiety: Hope and solution
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Anxiety disorders are mostly treated as outpatients and receive less attention from clinical psychiatrists than patients with disorders requiring inpatient treatment

BY DR JEYARAJAH SIVALINGAM

Anxiety is often looked upon as a stepchild of most psychiatric disorders, although it possibly is the most prevalent and treatable. It now has its official designation ICD-10-CM version of F41.1, this too mainly being to qualify for billing purposes.

Among mental diseases, anxiety disorders, including panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), specific phobias and separation anxiety disorder, are the most frequent. Because patients with anxiety disorders are mostly treated as outpatients, they probably receive less attention from clinical psychiatrists than patients with other disorders that require inpatient treatment but are less frequent, such as schizophrenia or bipolar affective disorders.

 Although the numbers differ, the prevalence of at least 30 per cent of the general population has felt its scars in one way or another.

This is my small contribution to understanding this malady and perhaps offers a glimpse of hope and a solution.

You worry in your thoughts, does the road wind up the hill? All the way?

Would you also worry knowing there is a resting place for the night?

For what is anxiety but the postponing of life, the living in the fear of tomorrow

And if it is for your tomorrows to fret and frown, it is also for your thoughts to delight and rejoice in todays

And if you cannot but rejoice your todays, and insist on life in tomorrows, be prepared to be skinned down to your bones

You are at your best when you rise to meet the peaceful vibrations of life in the moment

Therefore, let your visit to mother earth be that of dancing in the moments

For if you learn the dance called now, anxiety would be a foreign stranger to you

And if you should make a habit of dwelling on tomorrow, then anxiety would be your loyal companion

It is suffice that life is not a bed of roses

I cannot but imagine the scars of this many-headed anxiety, the missed possibilities

Anxiety enslaved people you, save when you stare it in the eye and her fire can not burn louder, with the awareness,

That it is just a thought of tomorrow

But you who are made of flesh, bone and blood is, unfortunately, controlled by your thoughts

And if you but listen in the stillness of the night, you will hear the whispers of wisdom

Your lives, your thoughts, and your will, is present and real only in the now

It is a painful delusion to live in the anxious tomorrow.
