Dr. 琼斯: Anxiety in young women is on the rise and is there any wonder why is this happening and what can we do? 这是博士. Kirtly Jones from obstetrics and gynecology at University of Utah Health Care and I'm anxious about 焦虑 and this is 范围.
播音员: Covering all aspects of women's health, this is "The Seven Domains of Women's Health" with Dr. Kirtly Jones在Scope上报道.
Dr. 琼斯: Anxiety is a very common and perhaps the most common mental health concern in the United States. About 40 million Americans have 焦虑 disorders and women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with 焦虑 than men. College health centers are seeing a dramatic increase in 焦虑 in their students. 最近的一项研究表明,000 college students found that there were five times as many young adults with high levels of 焦虑 compared to college students in the 1930s. 所以大发娱乐只是更加意识到心理健康问题? Are young women more willing to seek help and, therefore, get counted?
As the pace of life and social media increased 焦虑 in young women, 事实可能都是这样, 但让大发娱乐深入研究其中的一些原因, 的后果, 以及该怎么做. 首先, there is evidence that the way a child responds to stressors may be both genetic and epigenetic. That means there are inherited genes that can contribute to overreacting the stimulus. 但是这些基因已经存在很长时间了. 那么为什么现在有更多的焦虑呢?
The epigenetic story is that genes are modified by early stressors in early fetal development and early childhood development. Moms who are exposed to high levels of stress give birth to babies that are more likely to overreact to stressors. 生活压力大的孩子, 贫困, 无家可归, 家庭生活不稳定, have an increased chance of having 焦虑 and attention problems as adolescents.
其次, the environment of children and young adolescents is increasingly stimulating social media which may not be very supportive, 校园欺凌, TV, 越来越戏剧性的新闻报道, and video games that are violent and stimulating can contribute to high levels of stress hormones. Kids are getting less sleep and consuming more caffeine than ever before. Increasing use of some stimulants for attention disorder may also increase 焦虑 in kids who may not be taking it appropriately.
Thirdly, there is clearly an awareness in the schools and colleges that more kids have 焦虑. 给它起个名字，让大发娱乐把它算在青少年身上. An increasing availability of medications to treat 焦虑 allows adolescents to state care. 对年轻女性来说，焦虑的坏处是什么? 首先, it feels awful and limits a young woman's ability to focus on the task at hand: school or work or healthy relationships.
其次, young women may self-medicate with alcohol or sedating drugs like opiates or Valium-like drugs that they obtain from friends or a family medicine cabinet. Young women who self-sedate in social settings are more likely to be sexually abused or overdosed.
那么大发娱乐该怎么做呢? 首先要认识到这个问题. This goes back to the RULER project for emotional intelligence. “R”代表识别. When you feel it, understand that you've felt this way before and you've survived it before. "U" is for understand what the triggers are and if the 焦虑 is about something that's really dangerous or not really dangerous. 它的标签. When you give that feeling the correct name, you can learn about it.
表达出来. “E”代表“表达”. Let others know how you're feeling so they can learn more and help you. R代表调节. 好吧. 你如何调节焦虑? A healthy diet with less bad fats and high-sugar carbs and less caffeine can be helpful, 实际上, 所做的一切. 定时小餐进食. Exercise vigorously four times a week with healthy friends, if possible. 保证睡眠. 是的，如果你焦虑，你就睡不着. But when you're not so anxious, make sure you get the sleep your brain needs.
获得更多不用手机的时间. 你上瘾了吗？? It's time to withdraw from the stimulus of your social media and get some exercise. Every time that little beep goes off or the little buzz in your pocket, 这会让你的压力荷尔蒙上升. 练习专注和深呼吸. Many studies have found that these practices can be helpful for 焦虑. The old saying, "just take a deep breath," comes from some basic neurobiology of stress hormones. 深呼吸，持续做几分钟.
There are many websites to help with mindfulness training and breathing techniques. 有几个针对年轻女性的好网站，女孩健康.gov是美国的一个网站. 我非常喜欢的一个来自澳大利亚. jeanhailes.org.Au是一个关于妇女健康问题的网站. 非盟是澳大利亚的一部分. 如果你在谷歌上搜索“焦虑的年轻女性Jean Hailes”," you'll get to a terrific website on symptoms and healthy self-treatments for 焦虑. 焦虑.jeanhailes.org.点击“年轻女性”."
得到大发娱乐. 谈话治疗可以给你技巧来打破你的焦虑. 你可能总是会有某种程度的焦虑, but the goal is to give you the toolbox to tune down a level of 焦虑 hormones so you can live a less stressed life. 如果你的心理医生不能帮你控制, medication taken daily that isn't addictive can help and it's approved for adolescents. You have the power to feel better and if that isn't working, we can help.
