Feeling Anxious?
Anxiety
Research suggests that one in five Australians, suffering from chronic anxiety, wait longer than six years before they seek help.
As a result, sufferers often cope with it in ways of alcohol and drug use, extreme and involuntary dissociation responses, self-harm, eating disorders, violence, and other behaviour designed to avoid anxiety. Apparently, twice as many women as men report anxiety which may be related to men’s preference for certain of these other behaviors.
As you can imagine, a plethora of medications have been trialled and used to treat anxiety, yet only marginal relief has been observed.
According to a survey conducted by the non-profit organisation BeyondBlue, anxiety is the most common mental health condition in Australia, with an estimated two million sufferers. BeyondBlue’s Chief Executive suggests that one in four of Australians in any given year will experience some kind of anxiety condition, and 38 of those who sought professional support for anxiety have been experiencing symptoms for longer than 12 months before getting help.
