Not only will the thoughts and “Worries” go away, but more “Worries” will be created as time passes. Heredity and inculcation of Family moral values lead to Mental toughness.
A strong Mind can transform Anxiety into some useful Mental response. Failure to do so invites Physical or Mental ill health and Mental disorders. Sometimes the stress is so great that “Anxiety” is inevitable.
Excessive Anxiety or Chronic Anxiety causes many difficulties in daily life. That means it can be considered that he has been infected with Psychosis.
There are many misconceptions prevalent in society about Mental disorders. Therefore, the relatives of Mental Psychopaths are seen hiding such a disorder. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment of Mental disorder is not quick like other physical disorders. Due to delay in treatment, both patient and relatives suffer.
Major symptoms of Mental disorders may include the following.

harm you or is taking over your mind.

Padmatai was talkative, always smiling, energetic, enterprising, ready to help any social event or neighbor’s problem. The atmosphere and conditions in the house were good. The Son and Daughter lived outside the Town to study.
Everything has changed in the last six months. Gradually Anxiety started to increase. Then started feeling restless without any reason. The tension used to start from the moment of getting out of bed in the morning.
Thoughts of one or many things but all negative. There was trouble.
For example, if the lady-worker who used to come regularly was delayed by five to ten minutes, her Anxiety would increase.
- What will happen if she does not come ?
- Do I have to do everything ?
- When will all the work be done ?
- Thoughts like that made me restless.
Padmatai, who was never angry before, started to get irritated over minor things.
When the husband tried to explain, she got angry with him. Children’s health started to be worried for no reason.
- They were not paying attention to anything.
- Loud gasping at the slightest sound,
- Palpitation in the chest,
- Excessive Anxiety on hearing bad news about someone.
- Due to constant unexplained Anxiety, physical symptoms such as
- Disturbed night sleep,
- Loss of appetite for food,
- Dizziness,
- Tremors in hands and feet began to occur.
As the examination did not reveal any physical ailment, the family doctor referred me to “Chaitanya Homeopathic Clinic” for Homeopathic Treatment.
Padmatai’s physical examination, blood tests were completely normal. After discussing and questioning him, it was realized that he had no physical body. He was suffering from Anxiety Disorder.
There was no need to worry. But they couldn’t stop their thoughts, so they worried about everything, called “Generalized Anxiety Disorder”.
A major symptom of the disease is feeling unreasonably anxious about things that happen regularly around us. Despite understanding, the patient cannot control his thoughts. That means “knows but does not turn” situation arises.
Our thoughts and feelings are closely related to our body. Because both of them are controlled by the brain.
The mental symptoms of this disease are excessive worry about everything, constant thoughts of something bad happening, and Anxiety and Stress about it called “Anticipatory Anxiety”.
Just being advised or told not to worry does not make any difference, but Homoeopathic Medicine along with counselling, exercise, yoga is necessary.
