Coles Evolving Self Confidence: How to Become Free From Anxiety Disorders and Depression at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Today, cognitive (thinking) and behavioural problems involving high anxiety and fear are classed as anxiety disorders. This is based on the medical model, which views these problems as mental illnesses, 'disorders' where something goes wrong in the brain and the answer lies in 'fixing' the thing that has gone wrong – often with medication.
However...
Take Margaret, the lovely middle-aged woman (emotionally fragile from early life stress and conflict) who suffers emotional abuse at the hands of her partner – abuse that not only scares her but also makes her feel that she cannot do anything right and that everything she tries will fail miserably or is totally worthless. Is her generalized anxiety disorder simply the result of something going wrong in her brain to be fixed by medication?
What about the Gary, in his early twenties, riddled with anxiety, whose father constantly put him down and criticized him with such venom as a child that he's now petrified others will do the same. Is his social phobic behaviour truly disordered and irrational?
Or the teenager Sarah, brought up by overly strict religious parents that have so drummed the fear of God into her that all she can do to obtain relief (from punishment by the Lord) is turn to rituals. Are her obsessive, fearful thoughts and compulsive behaviours really all down to mental illness?
Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia)
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Panic Disorder
Phobias
PTSD
Severe Depression
…Are any of these problems really irrational, disordered and mental illness?
Or is there a better explanation... one that offers a real cure?
