Anxiety is a disorder of continual worrying characterised by the inability to identify what is a problem-solving thought and what is a nagging thought! This inability leads to mind chatter, racy thoughts, poor sleep quality, high stress and heightened inflammatory responses which is all brought about by hyper-excitability in brain neurons! All this leads to a disconnection of the mind from the body!
In a prolonged state of anxiety it can lead to adrenal fatigue as the adrenal gland can only produce so much stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline! When this becomes too high fatigue becomes more leading to burn-out causing a depressed immune system, low resilience to infections, gastrointestinal upsets, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies and many other issues associated with chronic health conditions! It’s quite concerning how our emotional and mental health can negatively impact on our physical health! It does not have to if we acknowledge how we are feeling! Once we acknowledge how we feel we can then put into place things that we can do to improve how we are feeling!
