Anxiety Disorder Definitions Anxiety is a diffuse, vague apprehension associated with feelings on uncertainty and helplessness. This emotion has no specific object. It is subjectively experienced and communicated interpersonally. It is different from fear, which is the intellectual appraisal of danger. Anxiety is the emotional response to that appraisal. The capacity to be anxious is necessary for survival, but severe levels of anxiety are incompatible with life. Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric problems in the United States. Type 1- Panic disorder without agoraphobia: Recurrent unexpected panic attacks and at least one of the attacks has been followed by a month (or more) of: Persistent concern about having additional A attacks.

She was complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath. Sarahs medical history included psoriasisl. Her vital signs were remarkable for a pulse of 116; her electrocardiogram and laboratory work were within normal limits. Sarah mentioned to the staff that her son had died 3 months ago. During her evaluation Sarah and the nurse explored her symptoms of anxiety and depression, the exacerbation of her psoriasis, and her chronic headaches, which had become worse since her sons death. In addition to concern about financial matters and her sons alcoholism, she now worried frequently about her performance at work. The nurse recommended a medication trial. Sarah refused because of her fears of addition and loss of control. Anxiety related to change in role functioning, recent loss of son (dysfunctional grieving) threat to socioeconomic status, and stressors exceeding ability to cope, as evidenced by uncertainty, intermittent sympathetic nervous system stimulation, restlessness, and exacerbation of medial condition (psoriasis). Client outcomesNursing interventionsEvaluation Sarah will identify common situations that provoke anxiety. Assign “homework“ to client (e.g., keeping a panic attack and headache diary). Documenting anxiety responses helps client link symptoms with precipitating events. Sarah identifies returning home after work as a critical time for symptoms to develop. She reports that she visits her mother or does errands daily. Sarah will describe early warning symptoms of anxiety. Assist Sarah in associating her panic attach symptoms with thoughts about separation from her husband. This will help illustrate to Sarah specific situations in her life that result in panic anxiety. Sarah reports that she does not experience headaches when her husband is traveling. Sarah will report willingness to tolerate mild to moderate levels of anxiety. In weekly sessions, explore with Sarah the advantages and disadvantages of separation and divorce. These discussions will help Sarah problem solve viable options that may offer some control over her anxiety. Sarah reveals unwillingness to live alone. Sarah will demonstrate adaptive coping mechanisms. During weekly sessions discuss options that will allow Sarah maximum control over her choices. Increased choices over life situations tend to minimize anxiety response to some degree. Sarah informs her husband that she wants a trial separation. The husband moves into their sons former room. Nursing Interventions: Assess own level of anxiety and make a conscious A effort to remain calm. Anxiety is readily transferable from one person to another. Recognize the clients use of relief behaviors (pacing, B wringing of hands) as indicators of anxiety. Early interventions help to manage anxiety before symptoms escalate to more serious levels. Inform the client of the importance of limiting caffeine, C nicotine, and other central nervous system stimulants. Limiting these substances, prevents/ minimizes physical symptoms of anxiety such as rapid heart rate and jitteriness. Teach the client to distinguish between D anxiety that can be connected to identifiable objects of sources (illness, prognosis, hospitalization, know stressors) and anxiety for which there is no immediate identifiable object of source. Knowledge of anxiety and its related components increase the clients control over the disorder. Instruct the client in the following anxiety-E reducing strategies, which help reduce anxiety in a variety of ways and distract the client from focusing on the anxiety. Progressive relaxation technique. 1- Slow deep-berating exercises 2- Focusing on a single object in the room. 3- Listening to soothing music or relaxation 4- tapes. Visual imagery5- Medication: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in Eastern techniques of medication. Experimental evidence of the efficacy of medication is still in its infancy, but it seems to have a striking effect on physiological functions as measured by oxygen composition. Several studies have demonstrated Tricyclics: that imipramine is effective in the treatment of panic disorder. The presumed mechanisms of action is impipramines apparent ability to block panic attacks. Starting does not imipramine should be somewhat lower than the typical starting doses prescribed in the treatment of depression. This conservative approach is recommended because many anxiety patients, particularly those with panic disorder. The relationship between plasma levels of imipramine and the antipanic efficacy of imipramine is poorly understood. Although imipramine has been the most systematically studied tricyclic in the treatment of panic disorder, an increasing n
