CHAPTER SIXThe Age of AnxietyThe multiple perspectives we have.docxtiffanyd4
CHAPTER SIX
The Age of Anxiety
The multiple perspectives we have been using in this book are particularly useful in understanding the impact anxiety has on U.S. society. The word “anxiety” comes from a Latin root meaning to “choke or throttle” connoting a troubled state of mind (Tone, 2009). Anxiety disorders are believed to be the most common mental health problem in the United States. Two common measures are lifetime morbid risk (the theoretical risk of getting a disorder at any point in life) and 12-month prevalence (the proportion of the population thought to suffer from the disorder in any 12-month period). Baxter et al. (2013) conducted a meta-analysis of 87 studies from 44 countries between 1980 and 2009. They found that anxiety disorders are common across the globe with an estimated current prevalence of approximately as much as 28% of the global population. The prevalence of anxiety disorders in the United States is estimated for lifetime morbid risk/12-month prevalence as follows: Specific Phobia 18.4%/12.1%, Social Anxiety Disorder 13%/7.4%, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) 10.1%/3.7%, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 9%/2%, Separation Anxiety Disorder 8.7% /1.2%, and Panic Disorder, 6.8%/2.4%, (Kessler, Petukhova, Sampson, Zaslovsky, & Wittchen, 2012). Although anxiety disorders are prominent, it is important to realize that their incidence has remained steady over several decades despite pharmaceutically funded efforts to make the public think there is an epidemic that needs medicated (Baxter et al., 2014).
Although psychotropic medications are available for anxiety disorders, many psychological treatments also have excellent track records. Remember, from an integrative perspective it is not enough to describe anxiety symptoms, posit a biological explanation, then describe how certain drugs act biologically to (at least temporarily) decrease or eliminate these symptoms. With sentient beings, we have to look to the psychological, cultural and social variables that contribute to anxiety.
We recall a client (Elijah) who lived in what could be described as a “toxic environment.” Elijah's urban residence was the regular scene of violence, and he himself had witnessed two shootings in his 23 years. He was court-ordered to receive treatment for an alcohol-related charge (drunk and disorderly conduct). Even after abstaining from all drugs for 60 days, Elijah was what could only be described as “a nervous wreck.” He showed symptoms of both Panic Disorder and PTSD (the latter related to stimuli associated with the shootings he had witnessed). In consultation with a psychiatrist, who prescribed SSRI medication, Elijah asked why he had his symptoms, and the doctor replied, “Some people have a genetic predisposition to such things.” As Charlie Brown would say, “Good grief!” In this client's case, genetic predisposition not withstanding, there were clearly psychological, cultural, and social contributors to his anxiety. His alcohol use was a .

Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a term that is used to describe a mental illness, which has many dDysthymica effects on the mind and the body of its victims. The condition is also known as the manic-depressive disorder. Research that has been conducted shows that the condition is mostly found in young adults and since recently in children as well. Studies have also shown that in the United States alone the condition affects close to 4 million people and is slowly being considered as one of the most common disabilities amongst Americans. Women in their mid-forties are also at a high chance of developing the mental disorder. After developing the mental disease, a typical patient may experience up to ten episodes of other mental disorders in the course of their condition. For women who suffer rapid-cycling, they may experience more manic episodes and depressive episodes that happen after each other without leaving space for remission (National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, UK, 2006). Comment by Dr. Barnes-Young: How do you know all of these things? Recall from week one course announcements and discussion feedback that a citation is needed every single time you refer to the work of another. Comment by Dr. Barnes-Young: This is not a scholarly source.
The conditionBipolar disorder is characterized by two specific mood swings, namely mania, and depression. These mood swings that almost constantly affect bipolar people can further be divided into three subcategories, namely bipolar I disorder (BD-I), bipolar II disorder (BD-II), and cCylothymia. This The purpose of this paper seeks is to discuss the bipolar disorder in general, as well as summarizeing a short history of the condition, the subcategories of the condition, the symptoms, causes, and treatments of the disease (Miklowitz & Alloy, 2009). Comment by Dr. Barnes-Young: ? What is your source on this? Comment by Dr. Barnes-Young: The disorder is divided into three categories not the mood swings. Comment by Dr. Barnes-Young: What about your case study?
The existence of the bipolar disorder was discovered during the ancient Greek era. The Greeks took it that this type of manic depression disorder was a condition of the blood, choler, phlegm, and black bile. The condition was thought to be associated with human body fluids because these fluids are responsible for homeostatic imbalances within the human body. According to the Greek academics, ensuring that the body was in a homeostatic equilibrium would cause humans to develop a need to purge themselves or release into the blood stream specific amounts and quantities of these fluids. Plato, the scholar, was strongly founded on the belief that the disorder was caused by inspirations such as God, love, and writings. Other scholars slightly agreed with Plato but imagined that the disorder was as a result of environmental factor ...

Psychoactive Drugs and Neuropsychological Illness
Psychoactive drugs are substances that act to alter mood, though, or behavior
(Kolb, B., & Whishaw, I., 2001, p. 173). Nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol are amongst the
substances that make up the category of psychoactive drugs. Anxiolytic and sedatives,
hypnotics or sleeping pills, antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers are five
categories that make up psychoactive medications (http://www.cqld.ca/livre/en/en/16-
medicaments.htm, n.d.). They are used both to manage neuropsychological illnesses and
used socially. They are also often abused (http://www.greenfacts.org/en/psychoactive-
drugs/, n.d.). Psychoactive substances are often used to reduce anxiety, insomnia, and
depression among other problems. Psychopharmacology is the study of how drugs affect
the nervous system and behavior, and psychoactive drugs can lead to neuropsychological
illnesses when abused (Kolb, B., & Whishaw, I., 2001, p. 173).
