Track 5: Stress and Insomnia

Stress can be explained as an individual’s body’s way of responding to any kind of threat or demand or Stress is a reaction to a stimulus that disturbs our physical and mental equilibrium. . When an individual feel threatened, nervous system responds by releasing a number of stress hormones including adrenaline and cortisol, which rouse the body for emergency reaction. In such cases heart pounds faster, blood pressure rises, muscles tighten, senses become sharper and breath quickens. These physical changes can increase an individual’s strength and stamina, speed their reaction time, and enhance their focus. This is even known as the “fight or flight” response or mobilization stress response and it is yours body’s way of protecting you.

Insomnia is also known as sleeplessness, it is a sleep disorder where people have trouble in sleeping.  They may have difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep as long as they desire.  Insomnia is followed by daytime sleepiness, irritability, low energy and depressive mood.

Track 8: Personality Disorder

The word ‘personality’ is referred to the pattern of thoughts, behavior and feelings and that makes each of us individuals that we are. These affect the way we feel, think and behave towards others and ourselves. We do not always feel, think and behave in exactly the same way; it depends on the situation we are, the people with us and many other things. But we tend to behave in fairly predictable ways. Personality disorders are a type of mental health problem where an individual’s beliefs, attitudes and behaviours cause longstanding problems in life. An individual’s experience of personality disorder is unique to you. However, people may often experience difficulties in how to think about themselves and others. Personality disorder can show itself in many different ways.

Track 13: Phobia and its Treatment

Phobia is an irrational fear and avoidance of any situation or object even when there is no danger. Phobias are different from generalized anxiety disorders, because a phobia has a fear response which is identified with a specific cause. The fear may be irrational or unnecessary, but the person is unable to control the anxiety. Stimuli for phobia may be as varied as situations or everyday objects. To treat phobia the first preference is to consult a psychiatrist. Simple or specific phobias can be quite effectively treated with behaviour therapy.

Track 14: Work Stress

Workplace stress is the harmful emotional and physical responses that can happen when there is a conflict between job demands on employee and the amount of control that an employee has over meeting those demands. Generally the combination of high demands in job and low amount of control over the situation can lead to stress. Stress in the workplace may have many origins or come from one single event. But, it can have impact on both employees and employers alike. Fear of job redundancy, increased demands for overtime due to staff cutbacks and layoffs due to an uncertain economy act as negative stressors. The relentless requirement to work at optimum performance results in job dissatisfaction, reduced efficiency, employee turnover, illness and even death.

Track 15: Stress Medication and Management

The number of health problems related to stress might be alarming, don't despair. Several studies suggest that stress management techniques will not only make feel better, but they might have many health benefits. For instance, one study of heart attack survivors found that taking a stress management class reduced their risks of second cardiac event by 74%. There's even some evidence that stress management will improve immunity. Still, many of us remain unaware about stress management. Stress management might seem likely to be a nice idea, but completely impossible. Though you may not be able to remove all stressful things from life, but an individual can change based on how he respond to them. That is what stress management is all about. To relieve stress medications like sedatives, antidepressants, beta blockers and nutrient supplements can be used.

Track 16: Depression Treatment

Depression is a state of mind where a person feels discouraged, hopeless, unmotivated or uninterested in life. If these feelings last for more than two – three weeks then these feelings interfere with daily activities like caring for family, spending time with family and friends, going to office or school, then it is considered as a major depressive episode. Depression can be treated by Psychotherapy whereas Talk therapy is an extremely effective treatment for depression. Mostly three common methods are used in the treatment of depression which includes Interpersonal therapy, Cognitive behavioural therapy and Psychodynamic therapy. Depression medication may be most advertised treatment, but that doesn’t mean it is the most effective treatment because Antidepressant medications come with side effects and safety concerns and withdrawal can be very difficult.

Track 18: Psychopharmacology

Psychopharmacology is the branch of psychology that deals with the effects of drugs on the mind and behavior. Psychopharmacologists need to understand the clinically relevant principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Psychopharmacology treatment for stress is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are only moderately effective as a first line treatment. Psychoactive drugs exhibit their sensory and behavioral effects almost entirely by acting on neurotransmitters and by modifying one or more aspects of synaptic transmission.

Depression, Anxiety and Stress Management Market Analysis

Most of the people feel anxious or depressed at some times like Losing a loved one, getting fired from a job, going through a divorce, and other difficult situations may lead a person to feel sadness, loneliness, scared, nervous, or anxious. These feelings are normal reactions to life's stressors.

But some people may experience these feelings nearly daily for no particular reasons, making it difficult for them to carry on with normal everyday functioning. Such people may have an anxiety disorder, depression or both.

It is common that if a person is suffering with an anxiety disorder he may also suffer from depression. It was observed that nearly one half of people those who are diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder due to stress. It will be a relief to know that these disorders can be treatable either separately or together.

Depression

Depression is a state of mind where a person feels discouraged, hopeless, unmotivated or uninterested in life. If these feelings last for more than two – three weeks then these feelings interfere with daily activities like caring for family, spending time with family and friends, going to office or school, then it is considered as a major depressive episode.

Types of Depression

There are three main types of depressive disorders

·         Major Depression

·         Persistent depressive disorder

·         Bipolar disorder

Major depression disorder: It mainly involves at least five symptoms for a period of two weeks

·         Pessimism

·         Feelings of hopelessness

·         Difficulty in concentrating

·         Loss of interest in pleasure, hobbies and activities

·         Restlessness and irritability

This type of depressive episode may occur once or twice in a life time, or they may even occur frequently. There is even some spontaneous depressive episode like, after death of a loved one, medical illness or other events that occur in life. People with this type of disorder feel that life is not worth living and some will attempt to end their lives.

Persistent depressive disorder (Dysthymia): This type of depression will last for at least two years. But, it is little less severe than major depression. It involves similar symptoms such as major depression.

Bipolar disorder: It is also called as manic depression. It is characterizes as a mood cycle from severe highs (mania) to severe lows (depression), or mild highs (hypomania). During this phase an individual may experience irritation, grandiose notions, talking continuously, racing thoughts, increased energy, inappropriate social behavior and poor judgment.

In this case also an individual experience the same symptoms such as major depression.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a combination of several disorders that includes nervousness, fear, apprehension and worrying. These disorders affect our feelings and behavior.

Mild anxiety is uncertain and unsetting, were as severe anxiety can be extremely debilitating, it shows a serious impact on daily life. Anxiety is considered as a problem when symptoms interfere with a person's ability to sleep or otherwise function.

Classification of anxiety disorders

Generalized Anxiety Disorder: It is a chronic disorder which is characterized by excessive, long-lasting anxiety and worry about nonspecific life events, objects, and situations.

GAD sufferers usually feel afraid and worried about health, family, finance, office or school, but they have a problem in identifying the specific fear and controlling the worries. Sufferers expect disaster and failure such that it interferes with their daily normal life, activities and relationships.

Panic Disorder: It is a type of anxiety which is characterized by brief or sudden attacks of intense terror that leads to shaking, confusion, dizziness, nausea, and difficulty in breathing. Panic attacks tend to arise abruptly and peak after 10 minutes, but they may last for hours. Panic disorders usually occur after frightening experiences or prolonged stress, but they can be spontaneous as well.

A panic attack may lead an individual to hypervigiliance followed by hypochondriasis.  Panic attacks lead a sufferer to expect future attacks, which may cause drastic behavioral changes.

Phobias: It is an irrational fear and avoidance of any situation or object. Phobias are different from generalized anxiety disorders, because a phobia has a fear response which is identified with a specific cause. The fear may be irrational or unnecessary, but the person is unable to control the anxiety. Stimuli for phobia may be as varied as situations or everyday objects.

Social Anxiety Disorder: It is a type of social phobia which is characterized by a fear of being negatively judged by others or a fear of public embarrassment. This includes feelings such as stage fear, a fear of intimacy, and a fear of humiliation. This disorder can cause people to avoid public situations and human contact to the point that normal life is rendered impossible.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): It is an anxiety disorder which is characterized by thoughts or actions that are repetitive in nature, distressing, and intrusive. OCD suffers usually know that their compulsions are unreasonable or irrational. OCD sufferers may obsessively clean personal items or hands or constantly check locks, stoves, or light switches.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): It is an anxiety that results from previous trauma like military combat, rape, hostage situations, or a serious accident. PTSD often leads to flashbacks and behavioral changes in order to avoid certain stimuli.

Separation Anxiety Disorder: It is characterized by high levels of anxiety when separated from a person or place those provides feelings of security or safety. Sometimes separation results in panic and it were considered as a disorder when the response is excessive or inappropriate.

Causes of anxiety

·         Environmental factors

·         Medical Factors

·         Substance use and abuse

·         Anxiety caused by genetics and brain chemistry

Treatment for anxiety

·         Self-treatment

·         Counseling

Stress

Stress can be described as a negative condition that can affect a person's mental and physical well-being. Physiological stress or biological stress is an organism's response to a stressor such as environmental condition. Stress is a body's method of reacting to a task. According to the stressful event, the body's way to respond to stress is by sympathetic nervous system activation. As the body cannot keep this state for long periods of time, the parasympathetic system returns the body's physiological conditions to normal (homeostasis).
