We all experience worry from time to time, but rarely recognize that there are different types of worries that we have. This video discusses three different types of worries, including:
– Type I Worries: worry about actual, current real problems that are occurring right now.
– Type II Worries: worry about future or potential problems. Problems that have not happened yet and problems that may never happen.
– Mixed or Complex Worries: worry that involves both Type I and Type II worries. Mixed worries usually start out with a Type I worry that spirals into a Type II worry.
By understanding the different types of worry and being able to better recognize what type of worry you are engaging in when you are worrying can help distance you from your worry and give you a better sense of how to best manage or address the worry.

Dealing With Anxiety – Treatment Symptoms Types
If you are suffering from anxiety, you are not alone. It is easy to get stressed out and feel overwhelmed. However, there are ways to reduce anxiety and cope with life’s difficulties. Try socializing with friends and family, and engage in hobbies that help you release your tension. Take time to document the triggers of your anxiety, such as traumatic experiences and stressful situations. If you can identify these triggers, it is likely that you will be able to avoid them in the future.
The first step to managing your anxiety is to visit your primary care provider. They will examine your physical condition and identify possible underlying medical problems. Alternatively, you can seek out a mental health professional. These may be a psychologist or psychiatrist. While they can diagnose your condition and prescribe medication, these practitioners can also provide counseling for you. Some dietary supplements can interfere with prescription drugs, so make sure you discuss them with your doctor before using them. These supplements can cause harmful interactions.
Psychotherapy and medication can help you cope with anxiety. While these treatments can have side effects, they are effective for many people. But they do carry risks. You should discuss your treatment options with your doctor, as some drugs are more effective than others. If you’re not sure whether or not a particular medication will help you overcome anxiety, it’s important to discuss the issue with your doctor. Choosing the right medication for you is a complicated process. In general, you should consult a health care provider before beginning any treatment.
Psychotherapy and medications are two of the most popular methods for treating anxiety. Talk therapy is the most effective way to get relief from anxiety and other mental conditions. Talk therapy will help you identify and address your triggers. In addition to cognitive behavioral therapy, your provider may also recommend certain therapies such as exposure therapy. This therapy helps you confront the feelings that cause your anxiety and reduce its intensity. These therapies can also reduce your risk of future panic attacks. However, if you choose psychotherapy for anxiety, you should be aware that it may have negative side effects.
Anxiety disorders are common among women, and the reason for this is unclear. The female gender is more likely to develop anxiety than men, and hormone levels in women may play a role. Another factor could be the fact that women are less likely to seek help for their anxiety than men. Anxiety disorders have similarities with other mental health conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
While lab tests do not diagnose anxiety disorders, patients with symptoms of GAD may experience physical symptoms, such as restlessness or difficulty concentrating. People with GAD may also experience sleep disorders or intense panic attacks. While most anxiety disorders are treatable and reversible, some will require hospitalization. They should also consult a psychiatric manual to make a final diagnosis. It is important to remember that there is no single treatment for anxiety disorders.
