A. How much sleep you need

Sleep cycles & stages, lack of sleep.

Getting the hours you need to sleep consist of a series of distinct cycles and stages that restore and refresh your body and mind.

Even minimal sleep loss takes a toll on your mood, energy, efficiency and ability to handle stress.

B. Panic attacks and panic disorder

A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear. Left untreated, panic attacks can lead to panic disorder and other problems. They may even cause you to withdraw from normal activities. But panic is treatable and the sooner you seek helps, the better.

C. How to stop worrying

Continuous doubts and fears are paralyzing, not motivating or productive. Worrying can be, when it spurs you to take action, helpful to solve a problem. You need self-help strategies for anxiety relief.

D. Generalizes anxiety disorder

Everyone gets worried sometimes, but if you have a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), worries and fears are so constant that they interfere with your ability to function and relax..

E. What you need to know about anti-anxiety drugs

Under guidance from a health professional, medication can relieve some of the symptoms of anxiety, but it requires non-drug treatments to produce lasting changes and continuing relief from anxiety. Medication doesn’t cure the underlying problem and is usually not a long-term solution. Anxiety medications also come with side effects and safety concerns, including the risk of addiction..

F. Understanding stress

Modern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Stress isn’t always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.
