Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Case Study 1: Amy, age 38, is a worrier. She is restless, irritable and has difficulty concentrating. She worries that she worries so much and isn’t always sure what it is that she is worried about. She can’t let her husband or children leave the house without making them call her regularly to reassure her that they are ok. Her husband is growing weary of her fretting. Her children can’t understand what all the fuss is about. Their impatience with her only makes her worry more.





I think that Amy has Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Generalized Anxiety Disorder is when a person has excessive and hard to control worry and anxiety occurring persistently(may be associated tension, fatigue, insomnia, and impaired concentration). Amy matches the description of having excessive worries for over 6 months about small things, such as her family leaving the house. As far as I can tell, there was nothing to trigger her worry about her family leaving such as a car accident. She also worries that she worries too much about things she cant remember why she worries. Her anxiety is frustraing her faimly and probally exahsuting her. Her condition may lead to a panic attack or a deep depression. I would definately recommend thearapy before this goes any further. I do not believe that her taking meds or pills of any kind would help her situation becasue the taking of the pills maybe could lead to even more stress and worries. Just intense therapy. If she doesn't get help, it could possibly cost her her family.

Winston Churchill

“There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.”- WinstonChurchill

Winston Churchill was a A noted statesman and orator, an officer in the British Army, a historian, a Nobel Prize-winning writer, and an artist. He is probally best known as the British Prime minister. He was a strong political leader from who many famous quotes are taken from today. In the midst of all this, he also had to cope with a bipolar disorder.

Biopolar disorder, also called manic depression, is when a person goes from super overjoyed, to dangerously depressed or angry in a matter of seconds. Its like the crazyiest mood swings that happens through out the day.

This condition probally made him difficult to be around at times and I think that it also influences some of the outbursts he was known to have and also contritubted to some of his passion during his high points and ecelerated them when he began to go to an angry low point.

I feel that it would be terrible to have this disorder. You never know if today your going to be overjoyed or on the brink of a break down in a split second. Its got to be a wild internal battle.
