14 Lundbeck Magasinet2008 Magazine 2008 Anxiety is natural, panic is not Working as an anxiety therapist is very rewarding. Between 85 and 90 per cent of our patients improve permanently. ith this positive statement, one of germanys most eminent anxiety researchers, dr Borwin Bandelow, a professor and psychiatrist at the university clinic in göttingen, underscores the fact that anyone with anxiety disorders will benefit from obtaining help. anxiety is an entirely natural part of human heredity; it is necessary for survival. For example, research has shown that fear of snakes is genetic. it was necessary for our remote ancestors to determine quickly if something was dangerous in order for them to decide whether to fight or flee. this mechanism still works, but is often inexpedient today. apart from the well-founded fear of terror, catastrophes, accidents or illness, there is the unhealthy anxiety which can get out of control. persons who feel normal, natural anxiety have no need of treatment whatsoever. But anxiety that has no base in reality, or extreme anxiety for the commonplace which becomes so strong that it dominates daily life, requires help. this type of anxiety is meaningless and harmful. W there are three types of anxiety disorders that result in individuals seeking the help of a psychologist or a psychiatrist: panic anxiety disorder (pad), often associated with agoraphobia; the fear of open or public places, or crowds of people generalized anxiety disorder (gad), such as mothers fearing for their children being hurt in traffic, on a journey, or walking in a park, despite the children being at home social anxiety disorder (sad), which is interpreted as extreme shyness and fear of not being good enough. simple phobias such as the fear of snakes, spiders or white mice do not necessarily need to be either fought or treated. it is possible to live with them. But when a person is suddenly stricken with panic involving physical symptoms such as shivering, giddiness, high pulse rate and shortness of breath, they see a doctor. initially, they go to their own doctor and not to a psychiatrist. Most of my anxiety patients have seen a doctor for an average of three-and-a-half years when they come to me. during that time they have been thoroughly examined without any physical cause of their symptoms being found. approximately 10 per cent of the population experience a panic attack once in their lifetime, and never again. But, according to international classification, it is panic anxiety if a person has four panic attacks per month involving physical symptoms, and if the person increasingly attempts to avoid situations in which it would be difficult or embarrassing to obtain acute medical help perhaps in the event of collapsing in the presence of a large group. it is possible to help persons with this type of anxiety. treatment does not initially aim at a cure. the primary goal is to enable the patient to live with the disorder and to improve his or her quality of life. it is also a matter of helping patients with panic anxiety disorder to get through the worst phase. experience and statistics both show that most panic disorders disappear between the ages of 45 and 50. the symptoms normally begin when patients are in their 20s and top when patients are approximately 36 years of age.
