HOW TO TREAT ANXIETY? Before we talk about treating anxiety, we need to remember what anxiety is. Anxiety can be defined as a feeling of insecurity, apprehension, and fear associated with excessive concern about something that has not yet happened, that is, a future danger, but that could occur, get out of control, and go wrong. The person has difficulty stopping worrying and relaxing. These sensations act as an “alert” that awakens the brain to situations interpreted as threatening. It is important to note that there are several types of anxiety disorders, as I mentioned in a previous video, but even if we took 10 people with the same type of anxiety, such as GAD, we would see that each of them reacts and has a different type of condition. Therefore, each anxiety condition has a specific treatment for that person. To understand how to treat anxiety disorders, we need to understand that these disorders arise when there is a chemical imbalance in the brain. We have a small region in our brain that looks like a lump and is called the amygdala (it is not the amygdala that is in our throat). It is the cerebral amygdala. When we are faced with danger, it becomes hyperactivated and releases chemicals that will communicate with other areas of the brain, triggering the body's reaction of fear.
