Everything You Wanted to Know About ANXIETY

Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) is when you feel anxious and worried most of the time. These worries are intense, persistent and interfere with your everyday life.
Most people feel anxious and worried from time to time, especially when faced with stressful situations. You might feel anxious about taking an exam, speaking in public, playing competitive sport or going for a job interview. This sort of anxiety can make you feel alert and focused, helping you get things done faster or perform at your best.
If you have generalised anxiety you feel anxious and worried most of the time, not just in stressful situations. You don’t worry about one specific thing. You worry about work, health, family, financial issues and more.
In this video Dr Syl Explains what Generalised anxiety disorder is, how common is Generalised anxiety disorder, the causes of it and the treatments too. He also discusses the common co-morbidities you get with generalised anxiety disorder.

Yep. 40 years plus of dealing with this amongst other diagnoses. People don’t understand until they have lived it.

This was a great video! One video I would be interested in is looking at the study about adverse childhood experiences and having poorer health later in life. Or even several videos about it haha. Either way though, I appreciate your channel!

The part about what to say to your doctor was very helpful, because I think I have anxiety, and I've been to a doctor, but I have never been able to express exactly what happens to me, I don't know how to ask for help. Thank you

[@carenxatu5962]

So… I suspected I might have anxiety for a while but I just brushed it off cause I didn’t think I was ever feeling anxious. For example if I voiced my worries to my friends they’d tell me to “calm down”, but I wasn’t freaking out or anything, I was just talking about what I was worried about. That being said… near the beginning of Covid, I felt a sharp pain in my chest that I never experienced before, and I knew it was advised to call the health hotline about any sudden symptoms. When I called them they said I should go to the hospital. After tests were done the doctor came to me and said they were all clear, and then asked me about my mental health. After talking for a bit he concluded I likely had anxiety. But I’m not sure yet what type of anxiety I have exactly… i have ADHD and depression as well… I do get paranoid about every pain or abnormal reaction my body has and I think something’s wrong with me… I find myself avoiding things that scare me whenever I think I can get away with it. I sometimes get panic attacks when troubling thoughts don’t leave my head. and I used to self harm when I felt the beginnings of a panic attack. So… I don’t know… (Im gonna see my psychiatrist in November, so I’m hoping to get some answers. Though I’d like to know what you think as well.) I only just started watching your videos but I think they’re great. Thank you for uploading them.

I saw your post and wanted to comment. I have diagnosed PTSD, MDD, and GAD. I have been in the hospital over anxiety attacks. It's frightening and frustrating. I am doing better with medication and therapy. It didn't go away, but I am able to manage it better. I hope you saw your psychiatrist and were able to figure something out. May God bless you and comfort you. (If you don't believe in a Christian God, I stop hope for you to find strength in your own belief system. )

Hi! Thank you so much for this video. I'm a Colombia's doctor. I graduated in May 2020. My girlfriend is a doctor too, and we are both leaving for Melbourne in May 2023. First, we are going to study English, and then we will approve medicine. I'm scared, because many colleagues are already specializing here in Colombia, instead my partner and I are saving to leave. I'm scared, because I want to be a neurosurgeon, but lately I've seen that is very difficult for a Latino to access a specialization in Australia. I don't know, I wouldn't want to do everything and realize that I will not be able to be a neurosurgeon. I saw your video where you were talking with Dr. Kaishin Tanaka, but I would like you answer about that question for me, please. Thank you very much again for this video, it was great. Sorry for my english, I am learning.

[@courtneyobermayer-kj2is]

Would love more videos like this! About ways we can care for our mental health better! 🙂

Been having anxiety since 11 and depression

[@chelsea196]

I don't remember about growing up but one thing i remember is being riddled with worry and anxious feelings about my environment and growing older. Etc. Id lay in bed kost night and not able to stop the toughts and worry. At 8 i started playing music and noise in the background to shut up the thoughts or voices...

[@JeffKelly03]

Really appreciate this video. I was diagnosed with this about a year and a half ago; it's manageable, of course, but sure isn't pleasant on a day to day basis.

[@suddenlyautistic]

Thanks for your Dr Syl. Yup, I got this in my lucky bag along with CPTSD, ASD & ADHD. Something from each category 😊. As I'm learning more about myself, I'm finding it easier to keep myself safe and relaxed. That said, as I my anxiety is triggered my my lumpy mental capacity I'm not confident I'll be able to move past it completely. Btw- I'm very low in neuroticism.

[@throwabone9005]

I booked an appointment with my doctor but I’m so anxious to talk to her and what to say so this helped me a lot thank you so much!!!

[@PirateWW]

Thanks Dr Syl! You way of explaining things is very easy to understand!

[@TheJoya1234]

Thank you Dr. Syl.

[@iRECKONER]

This was great! Thanks for all the insight.

[@tictactoedias1908]

Thank you , you explained this beautifully 👍

[@lauranoponen6285]

Thanks for the good video. It was titled "everything you wanted to know about anxiety" but you were talking about generalized anxiety disorder. According to my own experience, there is also another kind of anxiety that is often associated with depression. Could you make another video about it?

[@Jane2856]

I was diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder, and told that I also happen to fit the description of SAD and GAD.

[@natalies3032]

Going to a psychologist for GAD lead me to getting diagnosed with a commorbidity of Autism spectrum disorder. Gad is apparently very common in people who have ASD.

[@OzJohnMayerFan]

Me to a T… thanks again Dr Syl …

[@Brodiesmh]

I’m afraid Of going to sleep. Ima talk to my gp about it and others

[@pam164]

This is me been this way since a child, worry worry is my friend lol

[@sarajseiberthesavannahdarter]

Thanks @Dr.Syl can you explain how fibromyalgia affects mental health? Does it exasperate certain symptoms or certain disorders?

[@michaelthau1007]

Thank you Dr for a wonderful video! Im 53 and have had GAD for 3 years. I feel like im always on edge, insomnia, constant worry. My Dr wants me to give Buspirone a try. Any thoughts on this medication? My Dr says its the safest anxiety medication to take, with few side effects God Bless

[@lesfibresfantastiques7265]

Funny that I started to show symptoms at exactly 30!

[@thisismyname007]

I’ve got an incurable blood cancer. Is it OK for me to be anxious??😮😮😮

[@meganwaters7772]

eeeGAD I've had GAD for years! Haha. I worry about worry!

[@bzzwiebel963]

What about bipolar disorder

[@sebastianliwinski222]

GAD is not a mental illness!. There must be a reason you're experiencing anxiety which is often a trauma of any kind, you don't have to be Army vet to get it. I wonder what impact does psychiatric medications have on long term use on humans.
