Dr. Ouyang Guoliang said that the most typical anxiety disorder is that patients will have some physical reactions due to tension. Common symptoms are fast heartbeat, high blood pressure, dizziness and headache, chest discomfort, gastrointestinal discomfort, frequent urination, shaking hands, sweating, and even hair loss. , feeling like something is pressing once morest my throat, etc.
He pointed out that the patient may only have mild symptoms at first, but because he studies these symptoms too much and even imagines them too much, he develops anxiety attacks. He bluntly said that most of the causes of anxiety disorders originate from the Internet.
If he hadn’t been constantly searching online to find out what ailed him, he wouldn’t have so many anxiety attacks. People with anxious personalities will research heart disease, cancer, stroke, etc. Symptoms that do not exist but are very close to them will be regarded as diseases they suffer from.
So he went to many different doctors and had many different tests with no results, and when he was still convinced that he had these diseases, the stress made him more anxious and reactive, creating a vicious cycle.
4 common personalities prone to anxiety disorders
Dr. Ouyang pointed out that personality is the main problem causing anxiety disorders. He divided the factors that cause anxiety disorders into “9:1”, 90% of which are due to personality problems; and the other 10% are studies on how to induce personality problems and amplify them into anxiety disorders, such as stress and mutual intimidation among family members. . He emphasized that this 10% of the reasons are not important, and the most difficult to deal with are the 90% of personality problems, and proposed that there are 4 common personalities that can easily lead to anxiety disorders.
1. More impatient personality
Dr. Ouyang said that people who speak very quickly are most likely to cause anxiety. Such people usually have immediate results and rush to do whatever they do. Therefore, he reminded such people to do things more slowly, speak more slowly, try not to run when walking, and do not rush to the road when the traffic light is red.
2.Perfectionism
Perfectionism refers to people who have very high demands on themselves. Dr. Ouyang reminded that such people need to give themselves a buffer and learn how to encourage themselves, smile more at the people around them, and maintain a cheerful attitude, so that they can deal with many anxious personalities.
He will ask for 100 points for things that are 80 points. After achieving 100 points, he will ask for 120 points. After 120 points, he will ask for 150 points… The result of endless additions must be done. Otherwise, if you put too much pressure on yourself, it will definitely lead to anxiety.
3. Mind the opinions of others
Most young people have this kind of personality. “When others criticize him, he seems to need to do a lot of things to satisfy others’ opinions.” Dr. Ouyang pointed out that the reason may be that the living circle of these people is relatively small. As a result, if one or two people talk regarding something important, they will be very nervous regarding whether they can do it.
In this regard, Dr. Ouyang encourages such people to expand their life circles, meet more different people, and try more different things, so that they will not be too big for one or two people or one or two sentences. reaction.
4. “One Hundred Thousand Whys”
Dr. Ouyang pointed out that almost 9 out of 10 people with anxiety disorders have this problem, and they tend to often ask for “explanations.”
“Why is my heart beating?”, “Why is my blood pressure high?”, and then I come up with 10 to 20 possibilities, and I have to keep researching.
But he emphasized that “problems are meant to be solved. We ask how to solve them, not why.” Only when the problem is solved will there be no need to study it anymore, and there will be no need to “get into trouble.”
Treat and prevent anxiety disorders
When patients have obvious physical symptoms, they need to take medication. If patients are afraid of taking medicines due to side effects, they should use drugs that are safe, have no side effects, and will not cause dependence. Otherwise, the patient’s anxiety disorder will remain uncured because of concerns regarding medication.
Doctors point out that what is needed to treat anxiety disorders is actually to deal with the patient’s psychological problems, shift the patient’s attention away from being afraid of something, and adjust back to normal life. You can also reduce the number of medications you take, or even stop taking them. He also mentioned that the more important thing for anxiety disorders is to prevent recurrence, so it is necessary to deal with the “90%” personality problems.
Don’t think regarding how you can change yourself, as your own words will only make things worse. You must first recognize what problems you have. At this time, you generally need to be informed by professionals, and then you can make changes to your own problems.
He suggested that if you belong to the above four personalities, you can listen more to criticisms from people around you and discuss them more with those around you. If these four types of personality problems are solved, many anxiety disorders can actually be terminated.
