Anxiety Relief Tips & Strategies

I just read an interesting article in a Tehran online newspaper about childhood anxiety and its effects on women. It refers to a study conducted at the University of North Carolina in the U.S.

Women who had anxiety as children and later developed anorexia tend to be plagued with certain personality traits that reduce their quality of life. These particular traits include obsessive behavior related to food and perfectionism.

You might or might not be aware that social phobia and obsessive compulsive disorder belong to a rather lengthy list of anxiety disorders. What you might not know is that these two disorders are much more common in women who are anorexic than they are among the rest of the population.

This is interesting, because the eating disorder generally doesn’t appear until after the anxiety begins. What’s more, anorexic women who had anxiety as children are likely to have especially severe eating disorders.

This send a clear message that childhood anxiety needs speedy attention to prevent the development of eating disorders later in life.

If you suffer from an anxiety disorder, The Linden Method is an excellent resource that guides you to recovery. Read my review.
