No. it's exactly the same.Kaz is referring to a mental health issue ie anxiety disorder. Completely different.
It’s not something you can just bring on though ?
I was basing my comment on the official figures but if the underreporting in care homes in Scotland is as much as suspected that changes it significantly as you’ve pointed out.45% of deaths in Scotand are in care homes.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politic...homes-death-toll-likely-significantly-higher/
21% of deaths in England are in Care Homes.
25% of deaths in Wales are in Care Homes.
37% average in the EU (66% in Spain)

Incidently in Canada its 81%

Slightly higher overall death rate per in Scotland (9.5%) than in England (8.2%) from cases in hospital and care home. I Cant find the figure quickly for Wales.
Don't get me wrong some big fucking mistakes have been made. But the same mistakes are being made everywhere in the west.
That's a fear of the unknown. It made you anxious. You've dealt with it and moved on.Always had anxiety but that was a whole new different level and I honestly think I can relate to someone having real anxiety now.Didn’t think about it before.
my whole mentality and way of thinking was completely skewed - never a experience I ever want to go through again.
Anxiety isn't a mental illness. It's a natural response to uncertainty.
It really isn't ,the shaking is the body but it driven by the mind,out of control anxiety is the mind unable to be rational,it is not rational to not be able to do any of the things I postedHe’s right though. Anxiety (the condition) is a physical health problem, not mental.
“Feeling” anxious is a layman term that isn’t actually a ‘thing’. It’s just a word we attach to feeling worried about something. Having an anxiety condition is physical.
I saw a shrink for over a year,you cannot apply your usual science to an emotional problemNo. it's exactly the same.
The "treatment" is CBT and it is just talking.
The treatment basically teaches the patient to be rational which in turn prevents the physical manifestation of the body's fight or flight instinct.
It's the sort of behavioural response that used to be learned in infant hood before kids were wrapped in cotton wool.
did your "shrink" have it?I saw a shrink for over a year,you cannot apply your usual science to an emotional problem
I am out as I will get really pissed off with people who have never had it and can tell me they know better
thanks for sharing that. I’m sure a lot on here will recognise those symptoms. Glad you were able to get on top of it.I'd never had any health problems, always thought I was invincible, never even been to the doctor until one day a couple of years back..... I was a bit dizzy at work and so went for a walk, the thinking about the reason for the dizziness got my heart racing which made me worse and then I had a full blown panic attack. There was pain up my arm, tunnel vision, pain in the chest area, couldn't breathe etc... I got back to the office, made my excuses and then drove myself to A&E thinking I was having a heart attack....... Turned out it wasn't a heart attack (at age 28!) obviously.
After that day I had a good few months of health worrying and the constant adrenaline in your system wipes you out. On some days I could barely lift my arms and my stomach went completely to pot with indigestion, cramps and then I started worrying about that.. At night, even the thought of not being able to sleep triggered my heart racing, sweating etc and I had plenty of sleepless nights.
Anxiety is 100% just a self-defeating cycle of worry that is triggered by something and it can floor you. Honestly I was one of those people who'd be saying you just need to be thicker skinned etc a few years ago... It honestly isn't true, it can be triggered for anyone.
For me it took 6 months to really calm it down and the physical symptoms went away. The only cure was accepting that anxiety was the real cause of all of my problems.
