Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Anxiety

No one wants to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. That's because to get PTSD, you have to go through trauma, and many of these traumas can be so painful that they create lasting problems controlling your stress and anxiety levels.

PTSD is possibly the only anxiety disorder that has a known cause. Most other anxiety disorders are caused by an infinite number of factors that can never be truly known and while there may be some events that are a bit more "anxiety causing" than others, the truth is that anxiety is often too complex to narrow down to any specific event.

This is not true of post-traumatic stress disorder. By its very nature, to suffer from PTSD you have to have experienced some sort of traumatic event. This qualification is unique and helps slightly with PTSD treatment because therapists and counselors can target the issue directly.

Still, PTSD isn't well understood. Most people recognize that it stems from a traumatic event, but what few people realize is how one person can go from controlling their anxiety to suddenly being unable to control their anxiety after a single event. Even though memories of the event itself play a part in PTSD symptoms, the memory itself is not the basis of diagnosis.

PTSD often has triggers that create further anxiety, and those with PTSD may have a lower threshold for further anxiety and stress – meaning, something that causes even a small amount of fear or stress causes a greater amount of fear or stress in someone with PTSD, whose stress baseline is so high that a small addition creates full blown anxiety attacks.

Combating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can be a very long and intensive process. The researchers at A2X Anxiety have been at work in conjunction with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to develop a compound that may assist in the treatment process. A2X helps to regulate key neurotransmitters that can be heavily imbalanced during a PTSD sufferer's panic attack.

With a combined regimen of A2X and CBT, most PTSD patients can start on a road to recovery.

What causes anxiety?

The primary cause of anxiety is a dysregulation of neurotransmitters in the brain - GABA and Serotonin. GABA and Serotonin are essential in regulating the brain's limbic system, which is heavily responsible for mood support.

GABA acts as a communication speed controller in the brain. When levels of GABA are low, the brain is overstimulated and communication can get out of control. It is for this reason that simple negative thoughts that may spiral out of control and create a continuously negative internal dialogue.

But by naturally increasing the level of GABA in the brain, you can correct this imbalance so that negative thoughts do not cause the same level of worry or anxiety.

Serotonin, like GABA, is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that controls the speed of communication in the brain similar to the brakes in a car, and has been found to directly influence emotion and mood. Prolonged exposure to high levels of stress and anxiety have been shown to decrease levels of serotonin in the body to the point that you use more than is normally replaced. When levels of serotonin drop dangerously low, your body translates this depletion into feelings of anxiety, nervousness, and irrational worry.
