Wider Reading: The Anxiety Epidemic: What triggers anxiety?
In this podcast Miss Jones and Ms Marris discuss the article which can be found on https://www.issuesonline.co.uk (written by Kimberly Holland) -> What triggers anxiety? 11 causes that may surprise you. We let you know the viewpoints of the professionals, our opinions and the thoughts of your fellow Toot Hill students.
"Anxiety is a mental health condition that can cause feelings of worry, fear or tension. For some people, anxiety can also cause panic attacks and extreme physical symptoms, like chest pain.
Anxiety disorders are incredibly common. They affect an estimated 40 million people in the United States, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. What causes anxiety and anxiety disorders can be complicated. It’s likely that a combination of factors, including genetics and environmental reasons, play a role. However, it’s clear that some events, emotions or experiences may cause symptoms of anxiety to begin or may make them worse. These elements are called triggers.
Anxiety triggers
There are 11 causes listed in Issues, here are four of them. You can read about the others in the Learning Lounge or online by following the link below:
Health issues
A health diagnosis that’s upsetting or difficult, such as cancer or a chronic illness, may trigger anxiety or make it worse. This type of trigger is very powerful because of the immediate and personal feelings it produces.
Negative thinking
Your mind controls much of your body, and that’s certainly true with anxiety. When you’re upset or frustrated, the words you say to yourself can trigger greater feelings of anxiety.
Parties or social events
If a room full of strangers doesn’t sound like fun, you’re not alone. Events that require you to make small talk or interact with people you don’t know can trigger feelings of anxiety, which may be diagnosed as social anxiety disorder.
Conflict
Relationship problems, arguments, disagreements – these conflicts can all trigger or worsen anxiety."
