Angst Disorders
What is are anxiety disorders?
It is normal to feel anxious at times. Anxiety is a common emotional response to stress, perceived threats, or worrying situations. Maybe when you have a test coming up or you are starting a new job, you feel a little nauseous, or get a bit sweaty and shaky. This is the body’s autonomic nervous system reacting to stress and producing your fight-or-flight response, which is specifically designed to help you defend yourself or run away from danger.
But imagine feeling like that constantly? For many individuals, what starts as anxiety can evolve into a debilitating condition known as anxiety disorders.
An anxiety disorder is a mental health condition, a mood disorder, that is described as being persistently worried, stressed, and fearful, to the point that it interferes with daily life.
It is estimated that 284 million people worldwide suffer with an anxiety disorder, that is approximately 4% of the global population.

Living with an anxiety disorder poses numerous challenges that impact all aspects of life.
→ Physical symptoms: Anxiety can cause physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach issues, fatigue, and muscle tension. Panic attacks can be particularly distressing, involving rapid heart rate, sweating, and feelings of choking or impending doom.
→ Emotional distress: Persistent worry and fear can lead to emotional exhaustion, irritability, and mood swings. It often feels like a constant battle against one’s own mind.
→ Impaired daily functioning: Anxiety can make routine activities like work, school, or social interactions daunting. Many people avoid situations that trigger their anxiety, leading to social isolation and missed opportunities.
→ Slaapstoornissen: Anxiety frequently disrupts sleep patterns, resulting in insomnia or restless nights. Poor sleep exacerbates anxiety symptoms, creating a vicious cycle.
→ Invloed op relaties: Anxiety can strain relationships with family, friends, and partners. The constant need for reassurance, avoidance of social events, and emotional volatility can be challenging for loved ones to navigate.
If you or someone you know is struggling with an anxiety disorder, seeking professional help is a crucial step toward recovery. Remember, you are not alone, and effective treatment is available.
Residential treatment for anxiety disorders.
Most anxiety disorders are treatable through a combination of medication and counselling or psychotherapy. Whether the patient is treated with medication alone, therapy alone, or both and
exactly which type of medication, and which type of therapy will depend upon the anxiety disorder, the prescribing doctor, and the patient.
It is important to be honest and thorough when telling your doctor about your symptoms, because the only information they have to make the diagnosis is what you give them, and it’s vital to get the correct diagnosis so that the right treatment can be given.
Try not to be embarrassed. Your doctor will have heard the symptoms many times before and regard them as part of a medical condition, which is not your fault and nothing to be ashamed of.
For some individuals, bespoke residential treatment offers a comprehensive and immersive approach to managing anxiety disorders. Ibiza Calm is a specialised mental health treatment clinic that provides a structured environment where individuals can focus entirely on their recovery without the distractions and pressures of everyday life.

Intensieve één-op-één therapie: Residential treatment involves various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), to help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours; and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), which focuses on developing skills to manage emotions and improve relationships.
Mindfulness and relaxation techniques: We teach and encourage practices such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and deep breathing to promote relaxation and reduce stress.

Planning van nazorg: Successful residential treatment includes preparing for life after discharge. This involves developing coping strategies and relapse prevention plans, as well as access to support groups. Clients are introduced to the aftercare therapy group before leaving treatment, ensuring they are confident of ongoing, continued support.
Angststoornissen
THE MOST COMMON ANXIETY DISORDERS ARE:
Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) involves chronic and constant excessive worry and anticipation of disaster in every area of life. Symptoms include insomnia, headaches, sweatiness, fatigue, trembling, hot flushes, and difficulty swallowing.
Panic disorder often includes repeated and sudden panic attacks characterised by a pounding heart, weakness, dizziness, tingling, chest pain, nausea, choking, terror, the fear of impending doom and a loss of control.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing a terrifying event such as a violent attack, natural disaster, accident, or war. The symptoms include persistent frightening thoughts and memories of the ordeal, sleep problems and traumatic nightmares, emotional numbness, loss of interest and motivation, and even aggression and violence.
Social phobia involves overwhelming anxiety and self-consciousness about ordinary social situations. Sufferers are so nervous and fearful of being judged by others and are so embarrassed by themselves to the extent that the condition affects work, school, and friendships. Symptoms include trembling, nausea, blushing and sweating.
Specific phobias are an irrational and extreme fear of something; usually an object, animal, food, person, activity, or situation; that in reality presents little or no danger, which leads the sufferer to go to extreme lengths to avoid the object of their fear. Some examples are a fear of flying, tunnels, water, dogs, spiders, heights, rodents, blood.
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) causes anxious thoughts and fears that control the individual’s life. Leading to the performance of compulsive rituals, used to stave off disaster. By acting out certain behaviours, according to specific rules they are able to relieve the extreme anxiety. OCD can take many different forms, but the feelings of intense anxiety and the need to act out rituals to relieve the anxiety are common.
