Bouts of anxiety and tension

Bouts of anxiety and tension are hidden diseases

The first impressions of non-physical ills are mostly negative. Many associate the psychological disorder with what once classified as "madness" or "simplicity", which may lead patients to hide their disorders, which later aggravate them

I had started to read the novel "The Marriage Plo" by the American-Greek writer Jeffrey Eugenie's just because the hero is a university student who specializes in English literature. However, at the end I was surprised that what had caught my interest entirely was the basic personality suffering from a bipolar disorder, whose symptoms highlight mood swings and depression. Although I was somewhat familiar with the reality of psychological disorders from articles here and there, the novel led me to reflect on a painful and dangerous reality facing the world, hidden diseases. Since shaky and politically unstable societies are fertile environments for troubled psychological situations, it is worth starting - and from this fact - to make even the slightest effort to put the issue of mental health more seriously at the table of our Arab world

Ordinary human beings today rush to proclaim "heresy" for what they fail to understand or all that is out of the ordinary. Some may think that this description is directed exclusively at the Arab citizen, or those who may be classified as "orient lists" by evidence that "the East" - and here I emphasize the quotation marks - fear opening up to what is new, good or bad, His reality, though bitter, is to a future he does not know. However, the above description in the context of the discussion here applies to the "Western" as it applies to the "East". Fear of the unknown is a common factor among all human beings, regardless of race, language, culture and all that human beings can employ to differentiate between them

Mental health was not an ancient concern of scientists. It may said that the situation goes beyond whether it is of interest or not, since 100 years ago was not recognized and was punished patients "mental disorders" by various means of denial of their suffering to social ostracism. Today, there is little difference. Despite the remarkable progress in clinical psychiatry and the inclusion of WHO in mental health, communities continue to be ignorant of the types and causes of mental disorders, as well as their degrees and symptoms

Some believe that it is today's young generation, specifically Millennial (between the ages of 18 and 35), who make up the largest segment of the victims of mental disorders, many of whom suffer from stress and anxiety disorders. This is partly because of the social pressures and expectations that weigh not only on their families and on their own, but also on themselves. In a study published in the American Psychological Association, British researchers believe that today's young people are not only looking for perfection but also demanding the other

In addition, life has changed and the reality of things has changed. The effort that the young man may make today may not be enough to reach what the young man had reached with the same effort 50 years ago. The consequences of an unfair comparison with previous generations stem from feelings of inadequacy, helplessness and hopelessness, which may attributed to the escalation of tension and anxiety. What makes matters worse is the denial of the surroundings of the young man, where such cases not recognized as physical, despite the numbness and frustration of the patient

The first impressions that formed about non-physical ills are mostly negative. Many associate the psychological disorder with what once classified as "madness" or "simplicity", which may lead patients to hide their disorders, which later aggravate them. A large group of those who have these negative impressions is unaware that some of them may apply the clinical diagnosis of psychopathology to even the simplest degree. It is also clear to them that some of them may find themselves once victims of a bout of anxiety, for example, which resemble the symptoms - at some degrees - the heart attack from the acceleration of heartbeat and numbness in the arm, and will not dare to talk about it for fear of the reaction of the surrounding

The psychological disorders of anxiety and stress are not evidence of weakness of personality, although evidence of something is evidence of helpless societies, Arab or foreign, Eastern or Western. The fear of recognizing, recognizing and confronting their existence is a challenge that threatens the productivity of today's generation and of future generations. Ignoring it, society is like a sick body that feels pain and refuses to diagnose it just because it does not bleed
