Introduction:

Topic and Research Questions.  My broad topic is Generalized Anxiety Disorder

My interest in Generalized Anxiety Disorder GAD started with higher importance of knowing what some of the actual means of treatment are. With the prevalence of the condition getting their treatment remains one of the most worrying issues. Generalized anxiety disorder is often characterized by persistent and excessive worry about a number of various things. People with GAD do often anticipate disaster and may be overly concerned about money, health, a family, among other issues.

Such individuals to worry more than it seems wanted about actual events and or may expect the worse even when there is no apparent reason for any concern. Very often, victims of the disorder when an individual finds it quite difficult to control worry on more days than not for at least six months. These differentiae the condition from anxiety that may be definite as a set stressor or for a more limited period.

For people suffering from an anxiety disorder, in some cases, just the mere thought of getting through a day produces anxiety. Such an individual does not know how to stop the circle of worry which they are often involved in. They do feel such an issue that worries them are even beyond their control. Even though they do realize that their level of anxiety is more interest than the actual situation warrants. Often, all anxiety disorder may relate to difficulty in tolerating uncertainty, and therefore most people with the condition do try to plan or control situations.

What research questions about your topic will you try to answer in your research and paper?

What are the most effective ways to treat anxiety disorders? The other question is what causes anxiety disorder.

This topic is of greater importance. It matters both to myself and society because most people do not know of the anxiety disorders and perfect means of management and treatment of this condition. As such, this research will be vital in informing the society of his health.

To understand Anxiety Disorder, I will examine the prevalence of anxiety, causes of the disorder, and method of treatments.

Support Paragraphs

Knowing about the prevalence of anxiety is important because it will help in the determination of the actual likelihood of the disorder to occur and hence crucial in the establishment of some of the probable cause of the disease. Besides, understanding the prevalence rate of the anxiety disorder is critical in the long run treatment of the condition  

Knowing about the origins of the disease is important because it will be possible for society and anyone reading the research to understand some of the means of avoiding the disease in the first place other than being a victim of the condition. In addition, knowing about the cause of the disorder is the first important step towards the treatment of the same disorder.

Knowing about the method of treatments is important because it will be critical in the development of some of the procedure and will, therefore, be vital in reducing some of the dangers which are associated with the wrong methods of treatment which has been witnessed before.  Other than just ensuring the right treatment, having the right knowledge on the treatment of the disorder is key in ensuring that the disease is clearly understood as the first most crucial element of reducing the number of new cases globally.

Behavioral therapies are the basic method for reverting a victim of the disorder to his reasonable condition (pg. 45).

Keeping track of your personal life can help you, and your mental health professional identify what’s causing you stress and what seems to help you feel better (pg. 36)

3. The source does support my initial position over the topic. However, one thing that comes up from the research is the generalized anxiety disorder is a behavioral change and can be reversed over time through behavioral therapy. The treatment is a gradual process.

4. From the above source, the most crucial element of the generalized anxiety disorder is that it is used by the life-threatening even witnessed by an individual in the past, however, some of the sources have hinted that alcohol and drug use and even nicotine or caffeine use can cause or worsen anxiety. If one addicted to any of these substances, quitting can make you anxious. This can result in generalized anxiety disorder if not monitored over some time.

Conclusion

From the study, much need to be done to ensure that treatment of the GAD is done in the right way. However, most important an immediate behavioral therapy should always be conducted on the patients immediately after life-threating even that causes the condition.
