Here\u2019s what you should know"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research from the National Institute of Mental Health suggests that an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nimh.nih.gov\/health\/statistics\/generalized-anxiety-disorder\">estimated 5.7 % of American adults<\/a> experience generalized anxiety disorder at some time in their lives. When comparing the numbers of adults who have experienced anxiety in the past year, there is a higher prevalence in women (2.7%) than in men (1.9%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research has known for a long time that the <a href=\"https:\/\/nortonhealthcare.com\/news\/physical-pain-from-depression\/\">mind-body connection is powerful<\/a>: What you think and feel can result in physical sensations in the body, including pain. We are only now beginning to understand how emotional health affects our long-term physical health and longevity. Taking care of your mental health is a form of self-care. Here are some things to know and do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-anxiety-can-cause-physical-pain\">Anxiety can cause physical pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMost people experience the symptoms of anxiety at some point in their lives,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/providers.nortonhealthcare.com\/provider\/Crystal+D+Narcisse\/507739\">Crystal D. Narcisse, M.D<\/a>., internal medicine\/pediatrics physician with Norton Community Medical Associates. \u201cBut if you have these feelings for a long period of time, or your daily life is affected, you may have a generalized anxiety condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Symptoms of anxiety in women include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Feeling nervous, restless or tense<\/li><li>Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom<\/li><li>Having an increased heart rate<\/li><li>Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation)<\/li><li>Sweating<\/li><li>Shaking<\/li><li>Feeling weak or tired<\/li><li>Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry<\/li><li>Having trouble sleeping<\/li><li>Experiencing gastrointestinal (GI) issues<\/li><li>Having the urge to avoid things that trigger anxiety<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You probably know about the fight-or-flight responses \u2013 when you are confronted with danger (whether real or perceived) your body responds in one of these ways. Flight means you run from the danger. Fight means you go toward the source of danger and confront it. When you are in one of these modes, your body releases hormones: adrenaline (uh-DREN\u2019-uh-lin) and cortisol (COR\u2019-tiz-all). These hormones help us exert a lot of energy quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"card card-callout float-xl-end ms-xl-3  w-xl-35 \">\n\t<div class=\"card-body\">\n\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Health care is self-care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best decisions you can make for yourself is to take a moment to set important appointments to ensure your healthiest year possible.

They also will ask questions about changes in your health history and medications. Many people can feel embarrassed about <a href=\"https:\/\/nortonhealthcare.com\/news\/how-to-talk-to-your-doctor-about-embarrassing-topics\/\">talking with their doctors about sensitive subjects<\/a>, such as mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe understand that it can feel awkward to talk to us about these issues,\u201d Dr. Narcisse said. \u201cBut we are here to help you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mental health screening may include questions about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your family history with mental health, since depression and anxiety can run in families<\/li><li>Your sleep, exercise and dietary habits<\/li><li>How you cope with stress<\/li><li>Your general health history \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/nortonhealthcare.com\/news\/physical-pain-from-depression\/\">pain can cause depression<\/a>, and vice versa<\/li><li>How often and how severe your symptoms are<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your answers to these questions and others like them, your doctor may have some recommendations for things you can try at home, such as meditation or yoga. Or they may <a href=\"https:\/\/nortonhealthcare.com\/services-and-conditions\/behavioral-health\/\">prescribe medication<\/a>. You may be referred to a specialist who can work with your primary care team to address your mental health needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you are prescribed medication, it is very important to follow the doctor\u2019s orders. Never stop taking a medicine unless you are told to,\u201d said Dr. Narcisse. \u201cBe sure to follow up with the prescriber.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-to-see-a-doctor\">When to see a doctor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou should see a doctor sooner rather than later if you have symptoms of anxiety or depression,\u201d Dr. Narcisse said. \u201cIt\u2019s also very important that you are honest about your health, lifestyle habits and symptoms, so that we can help you start to feel better as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are needing more specialized care, Norton Community Medical Associates patients may be referred to a Norton Behavioral Medicine provider. Because your mental and physical health can be deeply connected, our team of primary care and behavioral health providers works together with you and your support network to deliver care that addresses mental health, substance abuse and other medical needs.
