‘Severe Anxiety’, these two words are really very horrifying. Severe Anxiety disorder is very dangerous as its effects are really threatening.

Severe Anxiety – This form of anxiety creates an extreme level of stress & depression in a person and the affected person experiences panic attacks or panic disorder symptoms that are very frightening. It can ruin the life of an affected person.

The worst part about this disorder is that the affected person constantly thinks of committing suicide and many negative thoughts are coming into their mind all the time and they have no control over it. These people really need extra care by their family members.

It is highly required to keep the people who are suffering from severe anxiety disorder away from stressful environment as much as possible. Many people often use the drugs for this problem, but may be only a temporary  solution as it only hides the physical evidence of this disorder and does not treat the real problem.

A person suffering from severe anxiety lives under extreme fear & pressure that creates different negative emotions and they see everyday of their life as a insurmountable challenge in front of them, in fact, every morning is a ‘threat.’ They feel that anything bad can happen to them anytime & anywhere like violence, accident or something like that. Initially, it starts with one or two mild attacks in a week and gradually it increases.

These people experience panic attacks continuously and the prolonged duration of anxiety attacks could likely result in ‘Agoraphobia’ that forces them to keep away from people or crowded places.
