Psychologist & Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapist
Anxiety is part of our lives.
It is natural for certain things or situations to cause us to worry. It can become a problem when these thoughts take up a lot of time during the day (almost all day), when they impede functionality at work, at home, or in other contexts, and when associated somatic symptoms occur (e.g., muscle tension, fatigue, and so on). .
In short, "anxiety" involves the appearance of thoughts (worries, fears) about the future, in the absence of a real situation, now, to justify them; that is, a fear without object .
PHOBIAS manifests an intense, sudden fear when it comes in contact with a specific object or situation (such as fear of flying; height; snakes, spiders, dogs, rats, or other animals; injections or blood sight, and more ).
Events :
Sometimes it can be embarrassing to refuse to go on a trip because of the fear of going by plane or train, but it is not so important as long as it is not a job. And if you still can't escape this journey, you will surely find a solution! A bit expensive, which is true, but you got rid of the plane (or train): to go by car (gasoline, much more time on the road), to take a taxi or to ask a friend. What if you didn't have to do all this stuff?
To treat phobias, we talk about your fears so that we can discover those thoughts that transmit the “danger” signals (cognitive danger schemes), then we will do some imagination exercises (or some experiments) to test, in safe conditions, if those cognitive danger schemes they may or may not come true.
In children, fear can manifest itself through crying, agitation, fits of rage have clinging to parents in order to avoid the object or situation that triggered the anxiety.
The difference between fear and phobia lies in the intense and persistent fear in the presence of a stimulus.
Depression is a mental health condition.
It undermines people just as much rust gnaws on iron - gently puts control over the whole body, starting from the eyelids, to the muscles that hold the right spine, then it affects the heart and so on.
And for those around you, the mental suffering is too great, and the cause seems too small.
Depression is a disease which is NOT cured with motivational quotes and is NOT treated with lime and orange tea.
