Fast-moving traffic, busy roads, and out of control drivers — many people find these factors enough reason to fear driving. For others, traumatic accidents may contribute to their unwillingness to drive or ride a car again. Some of these fears eventually pass, but for others, such fear of driving may possibly lead to severe stress in the form of driving anxiety. Because driving anxiety is such a serious condition that can cause numerous problems for you (and your loved ones), it is important for the sufferer to get help as soon as possible. Read on to learn more about this anxiety disorder.

What is driving anxiety exactly? According to research, driving anxiety is a mental disorder wherein sufferers feel fear and apprehension towards driving. It may be caused by a number of things — trauma from car accidents like collisions, stressful driving conditions like speeding or tailgating by other drivers, or bad weather.Those who suffer from driving anxiety may experience a variety of symptoms, including difficulty in breathing, light-headedness, shaking, dizziness and/or fear of crashing into something while behind the wheel. Others also experience claustrophobia, especially when they are stuck in heavy traffic, or they may hyperventilate in the most unforeseen occasions. Other symptoms may include nausea, headaches, chest pain, and upset stomach. Sufferers may have a fear of losing control, suddenly panic while driving, and be hesitant to drive even in emergency situations.

There have been many stories about driving anxiety and the trouble it causes for many people. In most cases, young and elderly female drivers are most likely to suffer from this problem, though male drivers may suffer from the disorder as well. A person who suffers from this type of anxiety may think irrationally while he or she is on the road — some drivers are unable to drive at the proper speed or may release their hold on the steering wheel when a speeding vehicle approaches them from another lane. These intense reactions are very dangerous (especially if driving alone or during bad conditions).

Fortunately, driving anxiety can be treated. If any physical symptoms are felt, the individual should consult his or her doctor to check if any serious medical condition or problem may be causing the symptoms.

Anxiety Medicine can take the Edge Off

Martin Richfield asked:


With an estimated 40 million Americans living with the impacts of anxiety disorders, the need for property treatment is evident. This mental illness can create symptoms that make getting through everyday life difficult at best. Fortunately, there are a host of anxiety medicine options that patients are often given to coincide with other forms of treatment.

When anxiety medication is used in conjunction with therapy, self-help techniques and support, many forms of anxiety are treatable and even curable. Even conditions as serious as posttraumatic stress disorder can be brought under wraps with the use of anxiety medication.

Types Of Anxiety Medication

There are two types of anxiety medication that most doctors consider prescribing to patients. They both can have a very positive impact in lessening and/or controlling the symptoms of anxiety.

- Antidepressants. Medications such as Zoloft and Paxil are given for more long-term treatment of anxiety symptoms. These medications can take some time to work, so patients are advised to use them as directed and follow instructions carefully. When used in conjunction with behavioral and cognitive therapy, this type of anxiety medicine can be very beneficial for patients.

- Anti-anxiety. This type of anxiety medication involves rapid treatment of acute symptoms. This class of anxiety medicine is considered potentially addictive and has depressant effects. Patients are advised not to take this form of medication for a long period of time. Other options for treatment are generally more effective for overall, lasting relief from anxiety symptoms.

What Medicine Does

Anxiety medicine is not necessarily designed to cure or overcome anxiety symptoms. What it does do is bring symptoms in line so patients can work on other forms of therapy. When anxiety disorders are present, patients often benefit from:

Psychological therapy

- Behavioral and cognitive therapy can give people the tools they need to overcome anxiety disorder. When medications bring symptoms in line, patients are free to work on other, most lasting, techniques for conquering their anxiety disorder. In many cases, positive thinking, desensitization and other techniques come into play to assist patients in "living through" the experiences that trigger their anxiety.

- Self-help. Meditative therapy, self-hypnosis, relaxation techniques and more can all help patients further overcome their illnesses. While it is true not all anxiety disorders are curable, most are controllable if the right therapy is applied.

Anxiety medicine is not a cure all, but it is an important part of an overall treatment plan. When controlling symptoms is a must to put a person back on the right track, these medicines do the job.

Drofwyt Iamal asked:


While separation anxiety disorder can affect people of all ages it is more prominent in children. Children usually exhibit symptoms of separation anxiety disorder when they are separated from familiar surroundings and familiar people. Most children will experience separation anxiety at some point in time but if symptoms become severe they may actually have a disorder that is of more concern than normal separation anxiety.

Separation anxiety disorder is evident in the following events:

- Recurring distress when separated from a certain person in their life such as a mother, father, or spouse.

- Constant or obsessive worrying about losing the person they are attached to.

- Constant worrying about some event that might happen to separate them from the person they are attached to.

- Excessive fear about being left alone without the subject of their attachment.

- Reluctance about going to sleep unless their attachment is nearby.

- Having nightmares about being separated from that person.

There are some children who suffer from separation anxiety disorder that also suffer from attention deficit disorder, bipolar disorder, and panic disorder.

Separation anxiety is a normal event for children, especially those whose parents must leave them to go to work or when they begin school and are away from their parents. This is not the same as separation anxiety disorder. With separation anxiety disorder the condition becomes obsessive or compulsive. The reaction to certain events is much stronger than normal separation anxiety. The child with separation anxiety disorder may exhibit constant crying, shyness, silence, or an unwillingness to associate with others. Under normal circumstances these symptoms will go away on their own as soon as the child realizes that the situation is a normal part of life. For those who suffer from separation anxiety disorder those symptoms will exacerbate and get worse unless there is some sort of intervention.

There are steps that adults can take to help deal with separation anxiety disorder. Have a babysitter come to your house to get to know the child before you leave the child alone with them. This will allow the babysitter to develop a relationship with the child so that the child does not feel he is being left with a stranger.

Keep the same babysitter instead of changing them constantly. This will allow the child to become comfortable with the babysitter and know what to expect.

In the beginning, only leave the child for short periods of time. You can gradually increase the time each day so that your child has time to adjust.

Keep some of your child's favorite toys or a familiar blanket with your child when you plan to leave him. This will give him some sense of security because he is familiar with his own things.

Practice the same way to say goodbye each time you must leave your child. If you always kiss your child and tell them you love them before you leave you should keep this same behavior up every day. This way your child will know that when you hug them and tell them you love them you are about to leave them for a while. Assure your child that you will return. Try to not be late picking them up because this could cause them unnecessary anxiety.

Always stay upbeat and never let your child see that you are sad to leave them. Reinforce a positive attitude by telling them how much fun they are going to have while you are gone. If you are sad your child can detect your sadness and this will increase their separation anxiety disorder.
