Write an introduction to an informative and factual blog post titled "Anxiety: common causes and treatment". The anxiety can be caused by many reasons, such as anxiety disorders, depression, or chronic stress. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of fear and worry that interfere with everyday life. Many people learn to cope with their anxiety through reassurance-seeking and avoidance of the situations that might cause the fear (e.g., public speaking). Long-term problems associated with anxiety include fatigue and depressed mood. Anxiety can be treated with therapy and medications. There are many kinds of anxiety disorders: generalized anxiety disorder (excessive worrying and fear, and related physical symptoms), panic disorder (fear of experiencing a panic attack), obsessive-compulsive disorder (repetitive thoughts and behaviors), post-traumatic stress disorder (flashbacks of traumatic events), social phobia (fear of being looked at by others or performing in front of others) and specific phobias. Anxiety is often treated with medications called anxiolytics or antidepressants, which can reduce the frequency and intensity of the anxiety attacks. Benzodiazepines, such as lorazepam, alprazolam, or diazepam can be used orally or intravenously to help with the acute symptoms of anxiety. They work by temporarily increasing the activity of GABAergic neurons in the brain. Psychotherapy can also be helpful for some people with anxiety disorders. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), has shown to improve symptoms of anxiety and depression and it is used as an addition to other treatments (such as medications). There are many different forms of psychotherapy that can be used to treat anxiety disorders. For example, exposure therapy is used to treat the fear of certain situations. It involves gradually exposing a person to objects and situations that cause anxiety, such as public speaking or walking through a tunnel. Another form of psychotherapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is focused on problem-solving and modifying destructive thought patterns. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about one in four adults will experience an episode of major depression in their lifetime. It can be difficult for people to recognize the symptoms of depression because they are similar to those of anxiety disorders or other health conditions. People with chronic anxiety may consult different doctors about it without revealing what they feel stressed about. When they consult a physician about their symptoms, they will usually find that the doctor attempts to examine them for other possible diseases. Chronic stress can be caused by work stress, financial problems, relationship problems and family problems. Many people cope with chronic stress through alcohol abuse, substance abuse and reckless behaviors. People may be aware of their high level of stress but may not know what to do about it or how to change it. Stress management techniques include gathering support from others, self-talk (self-instruction), meditation and physical exercise. This kind of techniques may help people cope with stressful situations in their lives more effectively.Anxiety is characterized by this specific unpleasant feeling that is accompanied by normal bodily sensations. cfa1e77820
