Anxiety disorder is a situation when you’re surrounded by lots of people, for example when you’re on a bus, you start to feel hot, nauseous, uneasy, and to prevent this from happening, you start avoiding a lot of places which makes you feel lonely and isolated. In general, people will get anxious when they are in an urgent or stressful situation. for example when you are in the middle of the forest and meet a bear. Of course you will feel panicked and depressed. Everyone who is in a desperate situation will feel the same way.

In the end of the speech, she added a sentence that strengthened her argument, “So why not just jump into it, just do it however, without worrying if it’s good or bad? This will make it that much easier to start something and as you’re doing it badly to finish it, and when you look back, you’ll realize, more often than not, that actually it’s not that bad”.

Zach is a 17 year old teenager who suffers from anxiety disorders and agoraphobia, where he will experience anxiety and fear when in public places, such as public transportation, schools, shopping centers, and other crowded places. He described anxiety as a situation when. “my chest tightens up and it’s hard for me to breathe. I start shaking uncontrollably. You feel like you’re breathing out of a tiny straw”. Like other people with anxiety disorders, Zach feels that the bed is the safest place for him, even though he is not comfortable leaving his bed just to look for food. Then Zach underwent treatment at Waypoint Academy. Waypoint Academy is a school that specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Waypoint has a passion for encouraging children with anxiety disorders to return to their normal lives.

This article from ‘The Guardian’ may be an additional reference regarding the experiences of people who suffer from anxiety disorders.
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
The video discussed what causes panic attacks and how to prevent them. Panic attacks or anxiety disorders are described as a sensation so overwhelming, many people mistake it for a heart attack, stroke, or other life-threatening crisis. At its core, a panic attack is an overreaction to the body’s normal physiological response to the perception of danger. This response starts with the amygdala, the brain region involved in processing fear. When the amygdala perceives danger, it stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which triggers the release of adrenaline. Adrenaline prompts an increase in the heart and breathing rate to get blood and oxygen to the muscles of the arms and legs. This also sends oxygen to the brain, making it more alert and responsive. The two main treatments for panic disorder are antidepressant medication and cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT. Both have about a 40% response rate, though someone who responds to one may not respond to the other. However, antidepressant medications carry some side effects, and 50% of people relapse when they stop taking them. CBT, meanwhile, is more lasting, with only a 20% relapse rate.
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
Based on my opinion, the speakers want to spread information about what panic attacks actually are and why they occur in certain situations. Also, she wants to give some information about a panic attack’s treatment that can be done by several people that suffer from panic attacks.

For example, in this sentence, I think it’s valid because recognizing the symptoms of panic attacks is an important thing.

This video teaches us that we must be our own doctors. as said by Dr. Bal Pawa that he has tried various medications to cure his chronic stress and anxiety for 7 years. However, what she did turned out to be fruitless. She ended up implementing a method that brought her to a normal life. Chronic excessive stress leads to distress, heartburn, headache, muscle tension, hypertension, gut problems, sleep problems, and high anxiety. This speaker came up with a technique called BMW meditation that actually helped her to cure herself after a really bad car accident. The BMW technique focuses on activating the vagus nerve, which is responsible for “rest and digest”. BMW stands for Breathe, focus on your Mind, and choose a Word to repeat in your mind. This mindful meditation utilizes the mind-body connection to rest your autonomic nervous system that causes you to feel stress and anxiety. After all the BMW treatment, you will start seeing the difference; you feel better, you heal better, because your stress hormones are not wreaking havoc with your tissues. You start feeling more creative, more resilient, more focused. And when your mind and body are connected, you connect better with others, especially your significant other.

This video discussed some reasons why people get depressed or anxious. This TED talk speaker tells of an interesting story. There was a farmer who was farming on his land and suddenly a land mine exploded and his leg was injured and he needed a prosthetic leg. When he got back to work, he soon became depressed because everything was so much harder for him to do. His depression medication was to get him a dairy cow so he could still be a farmer, but things wouldn’t be that difficult for him. In this TED talk, the speakers explains that there are nine scientific reasons why we get depression, and a lot of them tie to some sort of psychological need, for example, to feel like you belong, that your life has meaning and purpose, you have a future that makes sense, and that you feel seen and hear, among others.

In this article, you will have some reasons and a very complete scientific explanation of the causes why we experience depression and anxiety.
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
This video discussed the differences between normal anxiety and anxiety disorder. Anxiety is the very real and normal emotion we feel in a stressful situation. It’s related to fear. But while fear is a response to an immediate threat that quickly subsides, anxiety is a response to more uncertain threats that tends to last much longer. It’s all part of the threat detection system, which all animals have to some degree, to help protect us from predators. Anxiety starts in the brain’s amygdala, a pair of almond-sized nerve bundles that alert other areas of the brain to be ready for defensive action. Next, the hypothalamus relays the signal, setting off what we call the stress response in our body. Our muscles tense, our breathing and heart rate increase and our blood pressure rises. Areas in the brain stem kick in and put you in a state of high alertness. This is the fight-or-flight response. Anxiety disorders are not at all uncommon. Based on data from the World Mental Health Survey, researchers estimate that about 16 percent of individuals currently have or have had an anxiety disorder. These include social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia and phobias. Studies have shown that people with anxiety disorders don’t just have a different way of reacting to stress. There may be actual differences in how their brain is working.

What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
This video discussed how to stop feeling anxious about anxiety. We can take a new perspective on anxiety, i.e., we can view anxiety as our friend or our “crew” — anxiety does help us across parts of our lives, but sometimes (or often) anxiety can creep up when it is neither wanted or needed. We view our brains and these moments of anxiety with more compassion, accepting anxiety instead of fearing anxiety itself or fighting too heavily against it. Every anxiety sufferer at some point says they want to get rid of anxiety completely; in a world without anxiety, this room might be empty; anxiety is the feeling that tells us that when something is worth demanding our attention – in some small way, it was anxiety that told you you had somewhere to be today; without anxiety, you likely wouldn’t have thought studying hard and making a career was worth bothering it, makes you check your keys, reread an email, makes your heart skip, etc. – in this way, anxiety plays a role, it’s important, and almost everyone feels it. Of course anxiety is real – but because we feel this way now, doesn’t mean we can’t change it. First step to changing it is accepting it – we need to accept it not as our enemy, but as our friend, and then the crew can get back to steering the ship. If you’re anxious today, good, that means you’re alive.

What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
A talk by Colin Bien shows us how we can all too easily become stuck in stress whilst striving for happiness, but also how we can learn to break from this negativity. We are all trying to better ourselves, but when we push ourselves to the very limits of what we can do it can lead to stress, and from that anxiety. We keep working hard for happiness but never end up being able to find it because what we do ends up taking us away from it. We need to learn to break out of habits which keep us pinned into stress and into new ones which can enrich us. Once you accept the fears you have which lead to anxiety you can start to combat them. When you realize that this happens because of a vicious circle, leading you back to the same negative thoughts and feelings you can break it and slowly regain yourself in all aspects of your life. When you learn to implement new habits you can start to improve your life and become less stressed, taking away the feelings of anxiety and panic. Discipline, motivation and continuity all lead to the ability of great routines, and from that a positive life – but you need all three to really make it work. Learn and find ways to better yourself, slowly introducing them as new routines and stick at them to really see results.

How trustworthy is this video? Who is the speaker? What is the source? Do you think the source and the speaker are trustworthy?
I think the video is trustworthy enough. Although Bien is not a mental health specialist, I think the video is trustworthy because he provides some data to support his arguments/speech. For example, “In Germany, 14% to 15% of all adults suffer from a panic disorder once in their life, and this is often due to a lot of stress”.
What the speaker’s attitude or tone towards the subject? Does he/she seem to agree or disagree with it? Explain your answer.

If you constantly seek to change yourself, it might become a new routine”.
Does the speaker put forward valid or strong arguments? How does he/she support the key points? Explain your answer.
The speaker has strong arguments to support the key points about anxiety disorder. He stated how to overcome stress, “I’m talking about breaking out of bad loops and implementing good ones that have a positive effect on you. And I see routines only in the first place as a tool to overcome panic but in a more broader sense as an opportunity to create less stress. And now, let’s start from the beginning because it’s essential that you understand what happens if an attack hits you”.
