Anxiety disorder is a mental health condition characterized by severe feelings of worry, nervousness and fear that are strong enough to interfere with a person’s daily life activities.
The five major types of anxiety disorders are:
Generalized Anxiety DisorderIt is characterized by chronic anxiety with constant tension and worry.
Obsessive Compulsive DisorderIt is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors.
Panic DisorderIt is characterized by unexpected and repeated intense episodes with physical symptoms like chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath etc.
Post Traumatic Stress DisorderIt can develop after exposure to a traumatic event.
Social Anxiety DisorderIt is characterized by overwhelming anxiety and excessive self-consciousness in everyday social situations.
Stress and anxiety are caused by an imbalance in vata dosha. Aggravation of vata afflicts the Mano vaha srotas which are the channels of the mind. Vata’s nature is dry, portable, and light which is why its aggravation contributes to the origin of erratic thoughts, concerns, obsessions, bewilderment, and difficulties focusing, signifying mental Vata imbalance.
