HEALTH It’s January and the stress of the Christmas season is over. However, Joanna 40*, just can’t ward off the racing thoughts that plague her day. “It starts early in the morning as I prepare the kids for school; then I am off to work, where concentration doesn’t always come easy. My thoughts begin to race as I struggle to see how I’ll manage all the tasks before night time; the cooking, the cleaning and the drives to extracurricular activities. Sometimes, it all becomes too much.” Everyday, numerous people suffer from overwhelming anxiety disorders that affect their daily lives. It is a condition that affects around 25 per cent of the population, adults and children alike. Psychiatrist Anton Grech explains that anxiety is one of the most common mental disorders. “Anxiety can strike at any age. However, its severity varies according to the individual and certain stressors that may affect one’s life.” Avoidant type personalities, the kind of people who tend to be worriers, tend to suffer greatly from this condition and causes may be externally or internally derived. “With anxiety, there are often external factors that bring on the stress, like problems at work, conflict with loved ones or illness within the family. In these situations, some people cope better than others.” However, other causes are internal, for instance in the case of perfectionism, where those affected place themselves in situations where everything must be in order. Although many believe that anxiety has a genetic predisposition, there are no accurate scientific studies to back up this theory. The psychiatrist says that anxiety has more to do with one’s upbringing Although many believe that anxiety has a genetic pre-disposition, there are no accurate scientific studies to back up this theory.
