Specific stressful events.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Specific stressful events. If you feel you have not been particularly \u2018stressed out\u2019 over the past year or so, it may be that anxiety started after a specific incident, known as a \u2018trigger\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also a very common reason for developing anxiety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have found that people are more likely to suffer anxiety disorders after experiencing any of the following: bereavement, divorce, moving house,<\/a> surgery, illness and violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are other triggers of course but these are typical and frequent ones. If you have developed a more \u2018specific\u2019 phobia, such as claustrophobia, you may have been stuck in a lift or on the underground and it is therefore probable that this triggered your current anxiety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What causes anxiety?<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Think back again to events that have occurred over the past few months now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you experienced anything which caused you considerable anguish at the time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Having said this, some people who experienced a particularly traumatic incident during their childhood
find that their \u2018experience\u2019 stays with them into adulthood, although they may have consciously
forgotten it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, a child who was frightened during a thunderstorm may grow into an adult with
an irrational fear of storms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anxiety which is caused by specific triggers usually starts very soon after the trigger and so is more easily traced to its source. For example, a bad flight may lead immediately to anxiety about further air travel, and a traumatic experience at the dentist may lead to dental phobia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
