Anxiety Disorder

Results of a new study make us think that specific genes may be taking a part in the susceptibility to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study, which was managed by the researchers at the Mclean Hospital, published in the journal named Cell Reports, and conducted by an international team, may provide information about the prevention and treatment of PTSD.

Anxiety disorders (AD), such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder (PD) or phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are psychiatric disorders that affect functionality in every part of the society and require treatment.

Both awareness and self-compassion help us alleviate stress and fear in daily life. Let’s apply these practices on our current reactions of apprehension, fear and stress regarding the Covid-19 virus.

A little stress is a normal part of our daily lives, which can even be a good thing. Overcoming stressful events can make us more emotionally enduring. Nevertheless, when stress becomes severe or chronic due to marital deterioration, death of a family member, or bullying, etc., it should immediately be taken into consideration. Because recurrent stress can have a monumental impact on our brain and cause a series of physical and psychological problems in people.

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder are prevalent comorbidities observed in soldiers. PTSD and mTBI have a high rate of prevalence as comorbidities particularly in soldiers. Furthermore, mTBI has been shown to increase the risk of occurrence of PTSD.

We all are feeling a massive stress and fear due to the novel Coronavirus. This stress and fear may cause us to panic, to become obsessed, or to start developing adverse habits, such as overeating or eating unhealthy food. Nevertheless, there are two practices that would help us remain calm and acquire a new perspective. These two practices are awareness and self-compassion.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Tourette’s Disorder (TD) are neuropsychiatric disorders, in which genetic factors play a significant part in both.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition that is related to significant disruptions in the functioning of many fields (work, home and social life), and this condition causes serious deteriorations in the significant parts of daily life. When the correlation between OCD and impaired functionality and quality of life (QL) is taken into consideration, it is important to analyze whether evidence-based treatments lead to recovery for OCD.

Studies show that the application of the Deep TMS treatment by focusing on a specific region of the brain works in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Functioning as a new dimension in the treatment of individuals that do not respond to conventional treatment, Deep TMS also paves the way for the treatment of a great majority of the patients.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common psychiatric disorder, in which recurrent thoughts and behaviors are observed that cause a specific anxiety in the person who has obsessions, compulsions or both.
