Emergency Anxiety Disorders
In clinical practice, there are certain presentations of anxiety disorders or other disorders with anxious expressions, or circumstances related to them, which raises the need for emergency treatment measures given their acute nature, the severity of the or disabling the character that they can have on the patient. To clarify this concept will offer some examples, but I do not believe that the listing of the data is fully comprehensive of the wide variety of events that offers the clinic.
They are:
1. Panic attacks, spontaneous or situational.
2. Social phobia performance (testing situations, job interviews, public performances, etc..
3. Specific phobias (air travel, potentially claustrophobic situations, medical or dental procedures, before or during the confrontation.)
4. Peaks exacerbations or anxious in generalized anxiety disorder, hypochondriasis, or OCD (OCD).
5. Crisis anxious or hyperarousal symptoms of acute stress disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder.
6. Anxious acute manifestations of adjustment disorders and somatoform.
7. Depersonalization and derealization symptoms related to panic or anxiety or acute stress.
8. Impossibility to perform behavioral tasks exhibit various phobias.
Preventing anxiety disorders
Regular physical activity may be treatments to help relieve symptoms of anxiety such as feelings of worry, fear and nervousness. Rethinking activities according to physical condition and age is a factor.
Feelings of anxiety , worry or nervousness can be a normal part of everyday life to a particular circumstance. These situations cause a person in a state of stress. That is why the discharge of tension in a physical activity is optimal for this type of physiological frames.
“When a person is subject, most times unconsciously and involuntarily to a state of tension, every muscle in your body are in a situation of greater contraction than usual,” explained Mr. Jorge Mastrangelo, Area Director of Athletic Training and Rehabilitation, Hospital Universitario Austral (HUA).
Consistently, in a study where 2914 people were analyzed, it was established that 90% of the studies, people assigned to an exercise program had fewer symptoms of anxiety.
If this is the case, the indication of a physical activity which has a high content of movement and motor wear where you feel free and fun at the same time is an option to take. The important thing is that the business carried out do it for pleasure rather than commitment. In this way, feel the fatigue of your muscles at a general level but also a relaxed mental stress.
When recommending a sporting activity is an important factor to take into account the age and physical condition of the person. From adolescence until age 30 can practice combat and contact (rugby, soccer, karate or basketball). After 30 you can continue to contact only and after 40 years those that do not require contact as tennis or volleyball. From the 50, you can continue with sports like tennis and golf. None of this is detrimental to the person’s attitude when performing physical activity, but rather it is to choose activities relevant to the interests of his age.

Panic attacks / anxiety are often symptoms of a large group of conditions known as Anxiety Disorders.
There are five disorders (or disorders) anxiety prevalent, that can (and are) made jointly or chains:
Panic Disorder is the fear of spontaneous panic attacks and continuously. You can have a severe intensity, and symptoms are often mistaken for a heart attack.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder: excessive concern is, at a time over months or about events that may not even have occurred. I feel like an idea that haunts you, marked by questions “and what if ….”
Psychosomatic Disorders
When the origin of a physical problem has its starting point in a psychological aspect, then we speak of psychosomatic disorders. In this blog we tell health details of a problem estimated to affect about 30% of patients who seek medical care.
Have physical symptoms and not knowing where they come from. Try everything to solve these problems but nothing that can not be solved. In many cases, when a patient has physical problems, often have a psychological origin and we are talking about a psychosomatic disorder.
Thus, it seems clear that the power of the mind is essential for the body is in optimal conditions. There are times when a psychological problem has a clear physical manifestation. Now, how difficult is to show that mind-body connection so that it is the mind that causes physical problems.
