Despite what others may think of me in my local community and family, I am not the mess I used to be. I have come a long way. I have still a long way to go, but I am happier and better and more productive today—more so now than in any time in my life. I take no medications, and in truth shun them. They made my life worse. I live in fear of side-effects and worry about my readers who write about the cocktails they take to deal with all the side-effects yet they still are no better off for them. Mental illness is a difficult malady to overcome, yet there is hope if we can find focus and motivation to tackle it. The other d...

Dental Anxiety: A Cycle of Bad Teeth and Bad FeelingsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Out of one thousand subjects, aged 15 to 32, who participated in a study with University of Otago in New Zealand, one quarter suffered from dental anxiety. For research purposes in this project, “dental anxiety” refers to people who completely avoid dental care out of fear. Head researcher, Prof. Murray Thompson, reports that anxious subjects became increasingly more anxious about dental care as time progressed, until dental work was unavoidable. The professor attributes this to the fact that postponing dental care will lead to more extensive dental problems, which require more significant procedures. In analyzing the ...

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that with recession-related anxiety saturating the very air we breathe, we might be a bit slow to trust our financial decisions. For decades, economists did not find much merit in connecting psychology with finance. That changed when a young economics professor from the University of Chicago, Richard Thaler, introduced himself to two Israeli psychologists, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Together they are credited with founding behavioral economics. Behavioral economics, and its close cousin, neuroeconomics, combines the disciplines of neuroscience, economics, and psychology t...

The specific mental illness can be anything — depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or something else. But the reference to a “nervous breakdown” usually refers to the fact that the person has basically stopped their daily routines — going to work, interacting with loved ones or friends, even just getting out of bed to eat or shower.

5 Ways to Get In Touch With Your Inner BitchEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I don’t know about you, but for the longest time, I was afraid of my inner bitch. In the old suppressed, sexist tradition of ‘you’re either a whore or a saint’, women are too often taught that we are either ‘nice’ or ‘bitches’ and never the twain shall meet. So it’s not surprising that when I was growing up I felt it necessary to suppress any snarkiness. It was hard when what I really wanted to do was say something catty or roll my eyes or even admit out loud that I was so much hotter than Lisa, my high school nemesis. Good girls just didn’t do that!

Understanding the anxious mindEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
By ROBIN MARANTZ HENIG Jerome Kagan's "Aha!" moment came with Baby 19. It was 1989, and Kagan, a professor of psychology at Harvard, had just begun a major longitudinal study of temperament and its effects. Temperament is a complex, multilayered thing, and for the sake of clarity, Kagan was tracking it along a single dimension: whether babies were easily upset when exposed to new things. He chose this characteristic both because it could be measured and because it seemed to explain much of normal human variation. He suspected, extrapolating from a study he had just completed on toddlers, that the most edgy infants were mor...

What is Anxiety?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Have you ever wondered what anxiety felt like? Robin Marantz Henig, writing for The New York Times Magazine, has penned a great (but lengthy) piece about anxiety — that non-specific feeling of nervousness that, for some, can be completely debilitating. Anxiety differs from social phobia or other kinds of fears, because it isn’t specific to particular situation (like speaking in front of crowds or going to a party). It can attack at any time, for any reason or no reason whatsoever. So while you or I may get butterflies in our stomach the first time before a big exam or presentation, someone with anxiety may have...

This is for Meg who has an eye for Shrinkrappable stuff, and who is being our test reader for Off the Couch.You read it hear first-- from next Sunday's New York Times Magazine in the October 4th magazine, Robin Marantz Henig will write ( or so my crystal ball says...) in "Understanding the Anxious Mind" about the work of psychologist Jeremy Kagan:They have also shown that while temperament persists, the behavior associated with it doesn’t always. Kagan often talks about the three ways to identify an emotion: the physiological brain state, the way an individual describes the feeling and the behavior the feeling leads to. ...

Abstract: Childhood maltreatment linked to greater symptom severity and poorer quality of life and function in social anxiety disorderEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Despite the use of validated assessments, our findings are limited by the retrospective and subjective nature of self-report measures used to assess childhood maltreatment. Nonetheless, these data suggest a high rate of childhood maltreatment in individuals seeking treatment for GSAD, and the association of maltreatment with greater disorder severity suggests that screening is clinically prudent.

10 Ways to Lower Anxiety and Find EmpowermentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
1. Knowledge is power. The more you know about how your brain works the better. So here’s a little neuro-psychology lesson. What you need to know is that the most primitive part of our brains, the inner bit in the middle, is the limbic system, also called the reptilian brain because it’s the oldest most primitive part. Within that is the amygdala. For our purposes it’s enough to know that scientists believe that everything we need to keep ourselves, and therefore our species, alive originates here, including fear in its rawest form. Our frontal lobes are in the newest part of the brain, the neo-cortex. Ou...

Bounce: 6 Steps to Become More ResilientEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Resilience. That’s what I’m after. To be able to find my balance after hitting a pot hole. To wake up with hope after enduring a series of frustrations. To look beyond the circumstances of my life in order to enjoy the moment. Yes. I want to become more resilient. So it was with great interest that I read Robert Wick’s book, “Bounce: Living the Resilient Life.” Here are six of the suggestions he presents in his book. A professor of psychology at Loyola University, Maryland, Dr. Wicks is author of numerous books, including “Prayerfulness” that I featured earlier this year. Step One...

Adolescent anxiety, depression two distinct disordersEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Wiley-Blackwell Adolescent depression and anxiety disorders are two distinct psychiatric disorders, according to Dr William W. Hale III (a researcher of the Langeveld Institute for the Study of Education and Development in Childhood and Adolescence at Utrecht University) in a recent publication in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. Hale and his colleagues conducted a five-year, longitudinal study of secondary school adolescents. Every year their depressive and anxiety disorder symptoms were measured. Hale and his colleagues concluded that while adolescent anxiety and depression were strongly related to one ano...

Can’t Sleep At Night?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I keep waking up at 4:48 AM. Sometimes a few minutes earlier or later. I hate it. But I know I’m not alone. I’ve talked with a handful of breast cancer bloggers this week and discovered we all use blogging as a great way to deal with being awake at night. Sometimes I can clearly identify what is keeping me awake: a doctor’s appointment or test on the horizon. Sometimes even good events: my excitement a few weeks ago about being interviewed as a young cancer patient on Fresh Air with Terry Gross (she is my #1 role model/heroine.) But, often I’m just up for reasons I can’t figure out and I don’t par...

Usually these are easily countered, and she is (temporarily) reassured. It's gotten that many of the same things come up over and over again, so I've developed almost automatic responses:"What if I don't like the job I get when I grow up?""Then you'll get another. I had a lot of different jobs before the one I have now"."What if a bad person breaks in our house and kidnaps me?""The doors and windows are all locked.

More on anxiety and pain – pain-related anxietyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It seems obvious that something unpleasant is something to be avoided – and if we’re meant to avoid it, we’re likely to be just a little bit afraid of it. Yesterday I talked about health anxiety in general, and today I want to touch on a specific sub-group of health anxiety – pain-related anxiety. Many people will be familiar with pain-related anxiety and avoidance, the model of so-called ‘fear avoidance’ that is a compelling explanation for how so many people become deactivated and disabled when they have persistent pain. It might be a surprise to some that the term ‘fear avoidanc...

Health AnxietyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We used to call it hypochondriasis – and that’s a term loaded with unhelpful meanings if ever there was one! What hypochondriasis meant was ‘it’s in your head, there’s nothing wrong with you, go away and pull yourself together’. Ask someone who has had an episode of noncardiac chest pain to ‘go away and pull yourself together’! The definition of heath anxiety is: - preoccupation with, and fear of developing or having a serious illness - it persists despite medical reassurance - this worry interferes with everyday life - it’s been going on for 6 months or so Health a...

Have You Ever Seen A Therapist?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
When I lived in San Francisco, nobody batted an eyelash at dropping into casual conversation mention of a trip to their therapist. “Oh, I had a really great breakthrough at my therapy session yesterday” was on conversational par with telling someone “I tried a fantastic new recipe for kale smoothies.” But San Francisco is not the rest of the country. (In fact when I moved to Chicago, I realized that San Francisco is sort of its own country.) Out here in the rest of the world, therapy is often seen as a luxury item or something that crazy people do. There can be a lot of resistance, embarrassment, and silenc...
