Anxiety disorders are diagnosed when people are constantly feel the fear and experience the excitement of abnormal sympathetic nervous system (aka fight or flight response), despite the fact that there is no real threat or a danger to everyone, and point it interferes day of their lives every day. We will examine each of the major anxiety disorders below, with films that show, some with more success than others, the symptoms. Specific phobia By definition, a phobia is the fear of something specific. The fear of this thing has become so common that the person may react with anxiety, to name the thing, the description, or even cartoons or caricatures. Phobias are divided into 5 categories: 1. Type of animals – snakes, spiders, dogs, rats, bats and other animals in this category. 2. Natural Art of the environment – these are caused by things found in nature: storms, fire, heights, darkness, high water, etc. 3. Type of situation – it is triggered by a particular situation, as with too much to do with bridges, elevators, flying, dentists, tunnels, etc. 4. Blood-injection-injury type – needles, wounds, blood and blood products are the most common types of injury phobias, and injected this kind is that people are different with this type of phobia is likely many more weak-to-face with the feared stimulus 5. Another way – fears that do not fit in four other categories go here, for example, the fear of choking, vomiting or clowns (well, as I collected what dignity?) Are available here. ** Show films that phobias: The Truman Show, Vertigo, Arachnophobia ** Note: While Indiana Jones is the favorite example of everyone to a person with a phobia-animal type, it is actually very little of the fear that snakes are diagnosed with a phobia. Remember in Raiders of the Lost Ark when Indy can down into the well of souls, the Ark? May He hates snakes, but it works very well around them. If he has a real phobia, he would be unable to think clearly, let alone help to improve the Ark. Sallah or on a loophole after Marion is closed to him. Generalized Anxiety Disorder Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a persistent problem of “floating” anxiety, with fears nothing is connected, as it could be “connected” dog person who has a phobia of dogs. People who suffer from anxiety often have very little stress, such as psychologists call it “chaos”, which together in their lives. ** Show films that GAD: Annie Hall, Blues Mafia, Manhattan, OCD Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by obsessions (thoughts and feelings of anxiety, which does not go away), the constraints of (ritual behavior, the anxiety that are relieved due to the obsession with magic). Psychologists once believed that OCD is an existential or symbolic nature. They believed, for example, that the germs were fears and compulsive washing because of, because the person felt somehow unclean, polluted or contaminated. Although some OCD May in fact, symbolic or existential, as most people seem to have a strong biological component. Drugs that increase serotonin in the brain appear to relieve the symptoms of OCD significantly for many patients. ** Show films that OCD: As Good As It Gets, Matchstick MenPANIC DISORDER Panic disorder is when people who are diagnosed have repeated panic attacks. The best way to imagine what a panic attack it as if you had ever imagined that the next door, whether it is your basement or your office has a rabid, hungry grizzly bear behind her. Your body is adrenaline in his veins, so your pupils dilate, your heart beats in order to speed up breathing and sweating palms. You may feel that the time had “slowed down” so that everything moves in slow motion. The bear may be grotesque, or you may feel as if you own a panic outside. (The last two sentences describing other forms of dissociation, derealization and depersonalization, respectively.) Now imagine the reaction, without moving from where you read these lines. You read right along, no rabid grizzly in sight, and the feeling hits you. Worse, there’s no obvious trigger, you worry that you are excited and if you run your instinct to scream, scream roll into a ball, or fighting, people will think you’re crazy. Well, it’s a panic attack. Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia Agoraphobia is the fear of escaping in a public place from which it would be embarrassing or difficult to capture. (People are often poorly taught that it is “the fear of open spaces, but it literally means” fear of the marketplace “and the concern with the potential of embarrassing to do in public.) Panic disorder with or without agoraphobia diagnosed. Maybe you can see why on the fear of behaving strangely in public, when a panic attack strikes, seemingly out of nowhere, a place where others can see how the person feels hectic. ** Show films that panic attacks: copycat, Benny and Joon (the character is schizophrenic, but experiences a panic attack on a bus at the end of the movie) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is caused by a test where you felt fear and helplessness, because your life, safety or physical – or someone you love – (they were great and imminent danger, or thought they were). Rape and war are two of the most common causes of PTSD to know something that another person is to be somewhat sadistic in you seem to “overload” of the brain permanently and turn into “fight or flight” mode. People with PTSD, feelings of constant anxiety as a feeling of danger and anxiety, panic attacks, nightmares, flashbacks and a hyperactive startle response. You can tell they feel like their skin crawl, or as if they were “on the” ceiling with fear. If you’ve already seen a really scary movie, nervousness that you later – when every little sound makes you think a serial killer is to come crashing through the window – is a very, very mild example of such a person is suffering from PTSD experience, almost always. ** Show films that PTSD: anxiety, Saving Private Ryan, No Escape, Born on the Fourth of July, The Deer Hunter
