Presentation transcript:

MENTAL HEALTH - ANXIETY Mental illnesses are health problems that affect the way we think about ourselves, relate to others, and interact with the world around us. They affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Anxiety disorders are all related to anxiety. They may include excessive and uncontrollable worry, strong fears around everyday things or situations, unwanted thoughts, panic attacks, or fears around a past scary situation. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses, and they can create barriers in people’s lives. Panic disorder and phobias are examples of anxiety disorders.

CAUSES OF ANXIETY Biological factors (genetics, neurotransmitters) Psychological factors (emotions, personalities) Sociological factors (family relationships/dynamics) Childhood experiences (traumatic experiences) Medical conditions (anemia and thyroid problems) Caffeine, alcohol and certain medications can create symptoms of anxiety

TYPES OF ANXIETY DISORDERS Phobias: fear of certain objects Panic attacks: repeated and unexpected panic Agoraphobia: fear of being in a situation where a person can’t escape Social anxiety disorder: intense fear of being embarrassed Generalized anxiety disorder: excessive worry about a number of everyday problems for more than six months
