• Anxiety is usually a person’s response to stress, which can come from psychological, physical, dietary, or environmental sources, like loud noises.

• Once a person’s brain gets locked into a pattern of anxiety, it can be difficult to break.

• Anxiety is considered severe when the worrying is not controllable, disproportionate, consistent, and most importantly, when it impacts one’s daily functioning negatively.

In these cases the severe anxiety may be a symptom of a more serious mental condition, such as a Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety, Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and a Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

It is not clear what the exact cause of severe Anxiety  is yet – in some situations it occurs after a stressful life event, others experience anxiety without an apparent immediate cause. Some contribute anxiety to a complex combination of causes such as genetics, a certain environment and life events. The main assumption is however, that severe anxiety experienced as a result of a deregulation of certain neurotransmitter chemicals that occur naturally in the brain. Because of this deregulation, one’s mood can change and anxiety symptoms can develop.

Symptoms of Anxiety can include:

• excessive worrying,

• a nagging sense of fear,

• restlessness,

• overly emotional responses,

• negative thinking & catastrophizing,

• defensiveness.

Anxiety is usually present in cases of addiction, perfectionism, being overly controlling, and behavioural issues.
.

• Anxiety sufferers often feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and stressed out.

• Some can’t concentrate due to their intense internal focus.

• Others obsess about specific things.

• Anxiety is easily detected if someone appears outwardly nervous; however, many sufferers appear calm on the outside, but their brain never stops.

• They can’t stop thinking, and the constant internal chatter can get so bad that it interrupts their sleep and steals their quality of life.

• They don’t live in the present, because they constantly worry about the future or live in the past.

• With Neurofeedback the brains own self-regulating ability is used to resolve brain-deregulation, resulting in less worries and fear, decreased muscle tension, less head – and/or stomach ache, and improved sleeping pattern and better concentration

• Learning this life skill decreases the need for dependence upon medications, and improves quality of life by teaching the brain to make healthier patterns on a more consistent basis so anxiety responses are avoided and a calmer brain stays more in control.
