Unless you live under a rock you have probably heard about the tragic death of the actor Heath Ledger. Heath Ledger died as a direct result of a cocktail of anti-anxiety medications that are prescribed daily to millions of patients around the world. Could natural anxiety treatments have prevented his death? We might never know. What we do know is that anti-anxiety or anti-depression medications are not the be all and end all.
It is estimated that as many as one in ten Americans are suffering from an anxiety disorder right now. And it's not just American's who are suffering. Anxiety disorders are seemingly indiscriminate, affecting all races, genders and age groups. Whether you are a single mum in Arizona, or a successful businessman in Japan, you are equally likely to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in your lifetime. Anxiety can strike anyone, anywhere, anytime.
We live in stressful times; there is no doubt about it. With the cost of living rising rapidly and salaries remaining the same, constant stress has become the norm in our frenetic lives. More efficient means of communication like constant emails and even phone calls are adding stress to our lives. It often seems like constant sensory overload has become normal.
Most anxiety sufferers turn to medication. Maybe they know of no other 'cure' or perhaps they are simply looking for the 'quick fix'. Little do they know that natural holistic alternatives exist and are just as effective as traditional medicine but without the side effects.
Every symptom of illness, be it mental or physical, is a sign that your body is 'out-of-whack'. Some part of you is not functioning properly. To mask this dysfunction with drugs is not a cure. A real cure must come from within. You've probably heard the term 'cure from within'. This saying refers to utilizing your bodies amazing ability to heal itself. You get a cut. your body heals it. You breathe in a virus. your body isolates and expels it from your body. In the same way your physical body heals your physical illnesses; your mind heals your mental illnesses. Using mental exercises (you may like to call this Therapy) you can condition your mind to behave rationally, you can turn your negative thoughts, which are currently your habitual thoughts into new, more empowering thoughts. You just need to be taught how.
A study, published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, used Swedish anxiety sufferers to discover the effectiveness of internet based therapy. The results were unexpected. online therapy courses are actually effective in lowering anxiety immediately and keeping it low long term. They suggest that internet-based therapy could, or should, replace conventional medical treatment methods. So, the good news here is.. They work! And for those people seeking a 'quick fix' this method doesn't take months or even weeks, the results can occur immediately.
Perhaps if our beloved Heath Ledger was aware of this anti-anxiety alternative he would still be with us today. I guess it is always easier to look back and say what you should have done when you already know the consequences. But now that we are all aware of the negative implications of anti-anxiety medications, we can look forward to a lesson learned, and consequently a much happier existence.
