2. Common anxiety disorders

1- Generalized anxiety disorders (GAD)
Generalized anxiety disorder is a syndrome of ongoing anxiety and worry about many
events or feelings that the patient generally recognizes as extreme and inappropriate. Individuals manifest both physical and psychological symptoms leading to
significant distress or impairment.

2- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
People suffering from OCD tend to have bothersome and intrusive thoughts that generate
anxiety (obsession) and perform repetitive actions (compulsion). Obsessions include
unwanted thoughts, impulses, or images that cause great anxiety. Compulsions include
repetitive behaviors or mental acts that those affected feel driven to perform.

3- Panic disorder
People suffering from panic disorders often have panic attacks, defined as discrete periods
of sudden symptom onset usually peaking in 10 minutes and can occur with most anxiety
disorders.

4- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Anxiety and other psychiatric conditions are one of the most frequent conditions seen by
clinicians and often require long-term treatment with medications. Selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and benzodiazepines are important class of drugs used to treat
generalized anxiety disorder

5 best herbs for anexity

1-Passion flower

he leaves and roots of many passion flower varieties contain compounds called beta-carboline harmala alkaloids. These alkaloids act as natural MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitors. MAO inhibitors aid in the metabolism of feel-good neurotransmitters serotonin and norephinephrine.

This produces a calm state of being as well as a sense of well being. It helps reduce feelings of anexity and lessen the symptoms of stress by elevating the circulation of happiness-promoting chemicals. Passion flower has very few known side-effects which makes it a desirable, natural remedy for anxiety and occasional nervousness. It can also help induce and improve the quality of sleep.

2-Kava kava (Piper methysticum)

The main active components in kava root are called kavalactones. Specific types of kavalactones include dihydrokavain, methysticin, kavain, dihydromethysticin, dihydrokawain, yangonin and desmethoxyyangonin.

Although it’s not clear exactly how kava works, kavalactones may affect the levels of neurotransmitters (chemicals that carry messages from nerve cells to other cells) in the blood. Kava has been found to affect the levels of specific neurotransmitters, including norepinephrine, gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and dopamine.

3-St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum)

  St John’s wort for anxiety works by enhancing your brain’s natural neurotransmitters, dopamine, seratonin and norepinephrine.  Adding a small amount of the herb to your diet mimics the effects of a mild MEO inhibitor and relief lasts for up to three weeks.

4-Valeriana officinalis

Valerian is also used as a mild tranquilizer for people experiencing emotional stress, much as anti-anxiety drugs are prescribed and has been prescribed for exhaustion. Valerian has occasionally been tried as part of a program to take a patient off antidepressants or benzodiazepines, and is sometimes used as a muscle relaxant to treat pain.

Valerian does not impair driving ability and produces no morning hangover effect. It is a gentle relaxant and an effective sleep aid.

5-Matricaria recutita (chamomile)

While traditional healers have long recommended chamomile for anxiety, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania were some of the first to examine this relationship scientifically. In a 2009 study, the authors compared scores from standardized tests designed to measure generalized anxiety disorder or GAD. Over a period of eight weeks, one group received a placebo while the other took pharmaceutical grade chamomile capsules. Subjects were then tested to measure changes in symptoms of anxiety during this time. Those who took chamomile enjoyed a reduction in anxiety symptoms and the changes were termed "clinically meaningful and statistically significant.
