ANXIETY AND MAGNOTHERAPY
By Rosemary Skinner S.R.N.
For the past two years anxiety disorders have been discussed more than ever before. Anxiety covers a broad range of illnesses from Panic disorders to Post Traumatic Stress to Phobias. With six or more anxiety disorders, each with different symptoms, they share the common symptom of excessive fear.
A little anxiety is a good thing; it helps you to be become aware of your surroundings and motivates you to take action. Problems occur when problems spin out of control.
Have you met someone who always seems to worry over almost nothing? They may be suffering from what is described as Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Symptoms include restlessness, sleeping disorders and the feeling of being unable to relax.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is probably the most discussed anxiety disorder. Called “Shell shock” during the early part of the 20th. Century. The illness was not recognized at the time. Caused by a traumatic event, war, disaster, and serious accident. Symptoms range from aggression, insomnia, to depression. Many sufferers do not suffer symptoms until several months later. Reminders of the event often act as a trigger to the illness. Meeting people who shared the experience, anniversaries, and even watching a recording of the event on television can trigger the disorder.
Panic Disorder. A panic attack can take place at any time without warning. To the sufferer an attack may show similar symptoms to that of a heart attack. Shallow breathing, increased pulse rate, loss of balance, and feelings of great fear. Untreated panic disorder can lead to Phobias.
I must point out that the above disorders only represent a small example of anxiety conditions. Your doctor should be consulted should you feel that your symptoms, if any, are disruptive to your day-to-day life.
Conventional Treatment Drug therapy may include tranquillizers. Tricyclic Antidepressants and Prozac for panic disorders. Psychotherapy and behavior therapy.
The Alternative. Neuro Linguistic Programming (N.L.P.) Hypnotherapy.
Transcendental Meditation ( TM )
Details of how to treat these individual and other complaints using Magnotherapy are contained in my book Magnet Therapy-A Powerful Healing Force
