DR. KEITH ROACH
For the Herald & Review
DEAR DR. ROACH: My daughter-in-law has anxiety attacks. It gets so bad that she ends up throwing up. She has seen a doctor, but so far it has not helped. Can you give her any advice? M.L.
A: Anxiety is something that nearly everyone has felt when confronted by a difficult, unexpected or time-consuming problem. An anxiety disorder is different.
Generalized anxiety disorder is excessive and persistent worrying that is hard to control, causes significant distress or impairment, and occurs on more days than not for at least six months. Some physical symptoms are hallmarks: Poor sleep, fatigue, headaches and pain in the neck, shoulders and back are among the most common, but vomiting is possible in people with more-severe cases of anxiety. Panic attacks often co-exist with severe anxiety disorders.
