What is Anxiety Disorder?

Anxiety disorder is a mental health condition where individuals experience intense, persistent feelings of fear, worry, or nervousness that is hard to control. In contrast to ordinary anxiety, which is a normal response to stress, anxiety disorders create persistent feelings of dread that can dominate thoughts and behaviour. The disorder can take many different forms such as generalized anxiety disorder, marked by constant worry about day-to-day life; panic disorder, characterized by sudden episodes of fear with physical symptoms like chest pain; and social anxiety disorder, where social situations cause overwhelming discomfort. It often affects emotional well-being, decision-making, and physical health, with symptoms including muscle tension, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

Feeling anxious in stressful situations like interviews or tests is a normal, natural response and can help us be alert but when anxiety disrupts your daily life, leading to overreactions, or feels uncontrollable, it may require attention and care. Anxiety disorders can make it difficult to get through the day.

We have created an ideal setting for our rehabilitative programs at Mandarin Grove combining the calming influence of nature and soothing massages. Our tailored programs address a wide range of mental and psychological concerns, spanning two to three weeks. We place the human experience at the centre of our wellbeing programs, nurturing the body as well as the soul as true prosperity comes from a harmonious connection between the body, mind, and soul. By fostering this balance, we aim to help you not only recover but thrive.

Treatment for Anxiety Disorder

An anxiety disorder like any other health condition isn’t something you can simply “snap out of”, it requires proper care and treatment. It can feel overwhelming and affect various areas of your life from personal relationships to school and work. The constant distress and limitations they cause can significantly hinder your potential. The good news is that we offer appropriate treatment such as exposure therapy, attention training, and various anxiety management techniques making recovery entirely achievable.

Anxiety Therapy

Our expert team combines tested techniques in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MCBT) to guide you in recognizing and managing your anxiety.

 Cognitive therapy is a cornerstone in treating anxiety disorders, designed to help individuals understand the link between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Patients work with a therapist to identify negative thinking habits that fuel anxiety and reframe these thoughts into a more balanced, constructive perspective. This therapy employs techniques such as rational self-talk, where individuals learn to counter negative thoughts, and cognitive restructuring, which involves reframing distorted beliefs. Attention training and reality testing strategies further help individuals recognize the validity or lack thereof of their fears, paving way for healthier emotional and behavioural responses.

Exposure therapy, a key aspect of behaviour therapy encourages individuals to directly face their fears by confronting the feared triggers or situations and gradually transform the triggers into manageable situations. Repeated exposure diminishes fear responses, builds resilience, and reduces anxiety. Over time, individuals are empowered with the tools to handle future challenges more effectively and reduce the symptoms of anxiety using the process.

Mood-lifting Activities

As part of our treatment package, we incorporate mood lifting activities to help rejuvenate the mind and body. These activities provide immediate relief from anxiety, contributing to long-term emotional well-being. From yoga, guided meditations, mindfulness and breathing exercises, creative arts therapies, to G5 massage for body shaping, each activity promotes relaxation and is tailored to improve your mood. Anxiety has a way of pulling us into a cycle of constant worry and unproductive thinking, which only exacerbates the feeling of being overwhelmed. With mindfulness, you can break this cycle by focusing on the present moment, helping you detach from anxiety-provoking thoughts.

Anxiety often makes it hard to relax but with techniques like progressive muscle relaxation, abdominal breathing, and isometric relaxation techniques help alleviate this tension.

The goal is to help you reconnect with joy, reduce the emotional burden of anxiety, keep your mind away from negative thoughts and cultivate a state of inner peace and balance that supports your healing journey.

Nutrition Management

The nutrition awareness program within our anxiety treatment package is designed to combat inflammation caused by toxins, processed food, and stress, the three evils that modern life presents that can open the floodgates to a range of physical and mental health issues.

Proper nutrition plays a key role in managing anxiety. A well balanced diet, rich in vitamins, minerals, magnesium, B vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids help regulate mood and support brain function. Magnesium helps in muscle relaxation and its deficiency, along with inadequate vitamin B and calcium intake, can heighten anxiety. Staying hydrated and reducing intake of processed foods, caffeine, and sugar can decrease feelings of anxiety. By focusing on nutrition, we aim to nourish your body, repair its natural balance, and combat modern health challenges.

Outdoor/Nature Activities

The physical symptoms of anxiety are triggered by the body’s ‘fight-or-flight’ response, which releases stress chemicals. Exercise helps burn these chemicals activating your body’s natural relaxation response. Our daily trekking activities are designed to connect your soul with the calming essence of nature promoting relaxation for both the mind and body. These excursions allow you to soak in fresh air, stimulate endorphin production, and enjoy a deeper sense of peace, while also providing a rich cultural experience.

Destructive Effects of Anxiety Disorder

The impact made by untreated anxiety disorders can have far-reaching effects on an individual’s life. They may find it difficult to manage social interactions leading to isolation and an increased likelihood of substance abuse such as alcohol. Anxiety disorders are also closely linked with major depressive disorder and, in extreme cases, can increase the risk of suicide. Prolonged anxiety can elevate the risk of heart attacks, underscoring the importance of early intervention.
