Discussion 

What are positive side effects of anxiety ?

Definition of Anxiety.

Anxiety from its definition according to Dictionary is (a) "state of uneasiness or tension caused by apprehension of possible future misfortune, danger, etc; worry" ; (b) "a state of intense apprehension or worry often accompanied by physical symptoms such as shaking, intense feelings in the gut, etc, common in mental illness or after a very distressing experience" common mental illness characterized by feelings of nervousness worry and fear. However anxiety can  also conveys positive effects that help people deal with inevitable negative issues that happen in everyday life. These factors will be the topic of this discussion. 


II Benefits of Anxiety


 Positive effects of anxiety include alerting people to impending danger, according to the Anxiety Support Network. " Its distressing for people when a certain things can prevent negative costs for anxiety. Anxiety can warn them to leave or ignore conditions that cause tempers to flare and result in arguments or physical conflict. People also might realize they should avoid walking down a street or near a location where trouble might await them, such as an area where criminal activity might take place. Bothersome thoughts create the anxiety that helps people steer clear of potential harmful situations"

For a deeper understanding, People might feel uncomfortable when certain situations be a result and can take avoiding action and negative concerns because of anxiety. People can prepared for certain situations such as danger. it can protect them for a harmful things and be alert of what anything can happen. 

A. Motivation 

People are motivated to do things not just because they want to. Hence there are reasons why people do certain things. Some people use motivation as an anxiety treatment. And some people define Anxiety is motivational if it is sculpted towards a constructive and positive outcome

In the article entitled "Positive effects of Anxiety" written by Jerry Shaw. This articles tells that "Anxiety produces motivation". People are motivated to do things to resolve the problem quickly. But many people use their anxiety as an advantage to protect themselves.  

According to Jerry Shaw "anxiety develops and people act quickly to reach safety" 
(http://www.livestrong.com/article/228293-positive-effects-of-anxiety/).

Anxiety is not just a disorder, sometimes its a part of a person's personality that serves a treatment that can develop things and be alert to have safety. 

B. Associates with some wonderfully adaptive stuff.

There are some things that people cant learn or cannot explain if its natural or not. But it  measure adaptive behavior that people can notice from time to time. There are several adaptive stuff that a person may have. Qualities we never know when having an anxiety. 

In the article entitled "Positive traits seen in anxiety disorders" by Tracy Foose. Tells that  Highly conscientious, honest, detail oriented, performance driven, socially responsible, self-controlled is the qualities that the patients have. 

According to Tracy Foose "It behooves us to think better of our anxiety" 
(http://www.sfgate.com/health/article/Positive-traits-seen-in-anxiety-disorders-4291474.php).

Means that, Its a call for people s not to look anxiety in a bad way, but to look anxiety in a better way. Because not all things are made to think negative. There are things that people don't know. its up to them if they will believe at common things or research more to know more. 

C. Physiological Arousal 

Physiological Arousal is a type of  physical and psychological excitation  its one of the effects that people with anxiety have. based on its definition, it not good. but if you will look further at the end, there is an advantage why people are having this.


In the article entitled "Positive Effects of Anxiety" by Anonymous author. It tells that, when a person is having an Physiological Arousal "typically this means that the anxious person is shaking in his or her arms or legs, sweating, breathing heavily, and perhaps experiencing a rapid heartbeat, among many other anxiety effects" its a symptom that runs out of control. but in the end, people experiencing it may lead to physically emotional and a stronger person 

In the article, it says that "it becomes intimidated and leaves that person to be" 

(http://www.anxietysupportnetwork.com/articles/positive_anxiety_effects.php).

People become overwhelmed at things and it leaves a good side that a person has to be.

Background of the Study.

Anxiety is an emotion considered as pressure. It is a part of every day life. As people live in the world outside, it is what people experience from time to time. Because people already adopt this kind of feeling as they grow up. Most would recognize feelings of tension and fear. A lot of situations like public speaking in the class, often usually get nervous because of pressure. It’s hard to calm down when  in front of a crowd where everybody gets their attention.

In this article entitled “Social Anxiety Disorder”  by Jo. It states that, Anxiety is something that people usually encounter in our everyday activities. It affects their natural routine.  It usually begin when men and women starts their adolescence stage.

According to Jo “Many people with social anxiety disorder will also have another mental health problem” means that social anxiety may cause a health problem
(http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-anxiety/Pages/Social-anxiety.aspx).

Anxiety plays a big part of every human condition as some people think. They have their own definition on what anxiety is. In different field of study such as science, dictionary, psychology and even in theology. 

Another article, entitled “The Prisoner of Stress” by Louis Menand. Its stated that In related with theology, their own perception of anxiety is conscience, guilt and original sin. In some school anxiety known as the reaction of stress. And even in the modern life it can lead to a bad direction.

“Anxiety is interpreted as a reaction to the stress and uncertainty of modern life” Some schools in sociology and cultural theory has their own interpretation of anxiety.

(http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/atlarge/2014/01/27/140127crat_atlarge_menand?currentPage=all).

Drugs affect most of the body which should be protected, because there are several things that drugs may cause. Not just physically but it can mentally and emotionally damage.Such as Anti-anxiety drugs may lead into an increased risk of death. Because the more drugs will be use, the more tension and pressure what a person feel as time pass. 

Last article entitled Anti-Anxiety Drugs Tied to Higher Mortality by Nicholas said that, for seven years, A research conducted that people who use drugs have the highest possibility may lead into death. Health and other behavioral characteristics such as smoking, alcohol use and socioeconomic status.

 “I prescribe these drugs, and they are difficult to come off. The less time you spend on them the better.”

Blogpost 8: Personality Disorder

Do ever feel like empty? A little voice inside your  head tells you what you should do or not? Getting high with no reason at all? Sometimes being paranoid or you always make out of control to yourself. Anxiety, Paranomias, Pathological Gambling. These are one of the  various kinds of a personality disorder. All of us has different aspects of personality disorders.  Most of this had a proven fact why people causes that kind of situation but not all had been proven what that causes of  had never been diagnosed. So as a student having this kind of research can expand my knowledge  regarding to the several personality disorders.

I found an article entitled "Overview of Personality Disorders" By Kendra Cherry According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, a personality disorder is an "Enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectation of the individual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible,has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment." Because these disorders are chronic and pervasive,they can lead to serious impairments in daily life and functioning”.

Kendra Cherry said that, "Personality disorders common cause is because of our life experiences that averted the growth of our normal thought and behavior pattern that starts from teenage years" I agree that as a teenager, I know that this is the stage where we develop our own thoughts, ideas, opinion and own point of view. Adolescence is a very crucial stage. And it is important that we would be guided and surrounded by the right person in this period of time to prevent thought that will definitely affect their feelings and lead to wrong judgment and influence their actions towards others. 

Another article entitled "Personality Disorders and Personality Traits" by John M. Grohol Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behavior. Personality disorders are seen by professionals and researchers as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.

As said by John M. Grohol, Psy.D “Personality disorders tend to be an integral part of a person, and therefore, are difficult to treat or cure.” It turns out to be part of person and believed to be tough to “cure”. In conclusion, what we can do is lessen their distress and impairment in personal and social situation by adjusting and understanding their condition because it is said that this symptoms typically get worse with stress. 

Our personality  portrays a large part of us. The way that we reflect to ourselves, feel and  behave that creates us all individuals. For the most part of the time, our personality allows us to get on soundly well with other people, but a few of us, this isn't real. If you have a personality disorder, parts of your personality make it hard for you to live with yourself and/or other people.

Blogpost 7: Pathological Gambling

Millions of people are suffering from various addictions. Such as, drugs, money, alcohol, cigarettes and even Gambling addiction. Sadly, many do not get ahead of something  because they don’t know where to find help, or someone who to support.  Or worse, they don’t know they have an addiction that’s diagnosable. Not all dont know that there are other people dealing with the same problems every day. Because there’s no study has been proven what causes this Gambling disorder. 

From the article that I've read, What is Gambling Disorder? by Elizabeth Hartney. Gambling Disorder is a recent behavioral addiction diagnosis included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Gambling is normally on the person's mind - both remembering   past gambling incidents, and intending   future gambling events. Sometimes people who have this  bipolar disorder who is the one  gamble a lot while they are having a manic episode. Another pattern of one-sided  thinking that may happen in gambling disorder includes "Chasing one's losses"Not only do some people who develop gambling disorder literally gamble away everything they own, and end up in crippling debt, but far more of them become suicidal than would be look forward  in the general population.

Elizabeth Hartney stated that “gambling behaviors can become compulsive” Or on the other hand it may lead into a several  complications. In that same way as major financial and emotional problems, and are treatable using similar approaches to the treatment of substance addictions.

Another articled that I've encountered is What are symptoms and signs of a gambling addiction? By Roxanne Dryden-Edwards. At times we tend to think why people gamble. Because it is significant to know that there is usually no one a specific cause for pathological gambling. There are Risk factors for developing pathological gambling that includes many personality disorder such as  schizophrenia, mood problems, antisocial , and alcohol or cocaine addiction. People who undergo  from compulsive gambling have a possibility  to be novelty seekers, feel disconnected, relaxed, or aroused while gambling or playing video games.

Roxanne Dryden-Edwards said that  “When contemplating why people gamble, it is important to understand that there is usually no one specific cause for pathological gambling.” As each and everyone says, there is no study why people causes that kind of disorder maybe it part of they nature, its how the way people live. 

Addiction is a obsessive need. It leads as a satisfying experience that turns into an overpowering condition . Certain people become addicted to drugs, drugs, sex, alcohol and gambling. When the excitement of the game be greater than everything else, the player has cross over over the line from player to addict. Gambling, like all addictions can be harmful for the every human beings. 

Blogpost 6: Night Eating Disorder

Eating is one of our favorite talents we are good with. Eating has many advantages. It help us to release our stress mainly when we are wretched at some things, having a breakdown, or when we are happy. Being a teenager, I know most of us love eating different food.  At times, we even travel at every place as long as various foods are serving and suit our taste. However we need to limit ourselves in eating for the reason that there are also some disadvantages that cause it. Or even, it may lead to a “Disorder”


Based on the article i researched, “Night EatingSyndrome” by LyndeI Costain found out that The eating disorder Night Time Spree influences up to 2% of people and for them, it is a nightmare. Looking for  professional help from a doctor is important - they can also suggest people for more specialist help if needed. If you feel you have problems with night eating/night time binge eating and want to found a more regular eating pattern, it is best to make changes one step at a time and start with a calorie level that allows you to maintain your weight. Once you feel more in control of your eating, and have a regular eating rhythm, then calculate your calorie level for gradual and healthy weight loss and make the most of what WLR has to offer.

“While it is more common among  people who are overweight, it also affects people in the healthy weight range” I think that it is most usual for us people who are more overweight leads to a  major health problems.

Another article that I researched also entitled “Night Eating Syndrome” by Susan Cowden. Night eating syndrome is a term used to describe a type of disordered eatingthat is described by uncontrolled or compulsive eating especially at night. This type of eating was first described in 1955 and was described as eating a division of your daily calories after the evening meal and experiencing sleeplessness. Although some people with night eating syndrome also experience weight gain and/or obesity as a result of their eating, this is not common. Because night eating syndrome is not known as a specific eating disorder, it is typically identified as "Eating disorder: not otherwise specified" when people look for treatment.    

In the stated article “Eating a quarter of your daily calories after the evening meal and experiencing sleeplessness” consuming a meal four times or more in night can affect your sleeping behavior or can cause insomnia which is not good for us to deal with.

Eating a lot can cause a various kinds or disorders. No matter how eating taste good, people should always limit their selves.  Especially behavioral changes that affect what we eat and why we eat. This leads to collecting information about what is healthy, what is not, what Is good or bad. and how to break the freedom to emotional eating. To begin with,  this can be hard on the person who will do this. But if they follow a well-thought-out plan, they can learn to add in a different change one choice at a time. 

Blogpost 5: Childhood Amnesia

When I was a kid, I love going to supermarket together with my mom. What I love about it, is that I used ride at that mini cart and it serves as a cart wheel where my mom puts on the foods, things and every other house expenses. Childhood is the best thing ever that we all encountered in every step of our life.  No struggles at all, live through playing, fun, happiness and freedom. The world seemed to be a place of joy and happiness to me. There was nothing worth worrying about.

I found a interesting article entitled New insights intothe perplexing puzzle of childhood amnesia by Susan Perry before the age of 3.  Few of us can recall the events/happening in our lives that happened. Sigmund Freud called this “black hole” in autobiographical memory infantile amnesia, but nowadays scientist called this as childhood amnesia. Yet, parents do know that their child can still remember autobiographical memories. It concludes that how a parents communicate to their preschoolers might influence how many facts their children will shortly recall about quick happenings in their lives

This articles says that “Memory offers some new insight into this perplexing phenomenon” Our brain attempts to accept the error that’s trigger us to have a feeling of awareness although at the same time realizing the familiar feeling can’t be actual.

On the other article I found. Remember When?: Infantile Amnesia by DUJS These large memory gaps of stories are hard to seal, thereby constructing a disconnect among one stage of life and another. For example, how does autobiographical memory shape infantile amnesia? Autobiographical memory or own memory is a type of memory that is established for encoding, storing, and retrieving events and practices to build one’s individual past. Psychologists have proven that autobiographical memory lessens the restraints of this specific amnesia

 This article tells that “Memory is a difficult term to define”  it’s mostly outer of our understanding, but can be called into working memory to be spent when taken. Certain of this data is quite easy to remember, while further memories are much more difficult to gain.

As our life goes on, we tend to recall our episodic childhood days. Even if its embarrassing, worst or a happy one, Always remember that a memory may always be obtainable, Nevertheless a person may perhaps not be able to access the memory for various reasons.
