Anxiety disorders are predominently female problems (with women twice as likely to be diagnosed with most of the anxiety disorders than men)*. I'm not sure if it is some psychiatric bias or what, as I hate to call the tendency biological, but thats how it is for now at least.
There are many things though I hear, even from other women, about anxiety in general. They are stereotypical and completely incorrect. In general, many of them are used as stereotypes against women as ways to dismiss them.
1. She is only anxious/stressed/bitchy/etc because she is menstrual.
2. It's just PMS/hormones.
3. They're just being over-emotional.
4. She just wants attention.
5. She just needs someone to talk to.
All of them get to me, but that last one really makes me angry because many doctors believe this. I've heard plenty of times that someone with anxiety just needs to talk it out and it will all be better. I'm not dissing going and talking with a psychologist if one feels it helps you, sometimes it does. But if just 'talking it out' really worked as well as everyone says it does, there wouldn't be 40 million adults in the US suffering from some form of anxiety disorder. Trust me, many are pretty damn talkative (myself included).
What major anxiety isn't:
1. It isn't a cry for attention; many times attention makes it worse.
2. It isn't lonliness; though many with anxiety end up lonely because of the disorder.
3. It has little/nothing to do with hormones, menstration, or any other female 'ailment'.
4. It isn't PMS. PMS may be its own disorder (it is officially recognized by the APA, though only around 3-9% of women meet the diagnosis requirements**), but it is temporary, anxiety disorders don't go away.
5. It is not just being emotional, there are physiological aspects as well.

ReplyDeleteIrrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
