Have you ever felt that you are so tired and yet cannot relax and feel like you have to do something even if there is nothing left for you to do? Well, what you may have is an episode of anxiety and findings have shown that it also leads to depression and sleeping disorders if not diagnosed and properly treated.

Though it really is a mental condition and roots deeper than we thought, there are numerous causes of anxiety that lead us to feel restless, stressed out or pressured, and alone. Here are some of the many causes of anxiety that may lead to bigger problems.

Known Causes

Though sometimes it is already obvious, but a common cause of anxiety is the problems that we are facing in our lives. And if we are lucky and we have finally resolved the problem we are surprised that all the agitation, the restlessness, and pressure that we are feeling goes away with the problem. On the other hand, anxiety can also be rooted from variety of psychiatric syndromes like schizophrenia, depression, alcoholism, or withdrawal from a bad habit or treatment using long-term medical drugs.

Others will also find it that another cause of anxiety lies within their genes since people who have relatives and other family members that have a history of anxiety and other mental problems. These genes can be passed on and if you are one of those unlucky people who inherit those “worry” genes, then you are more susceptible to feeling anxious.

In some cases, anxiety may be rooted from tremendous and horrible accidents that can lead to phobias like car crash, fires, and others. The people who are involved with these types of accidents are more likely to suffer from anxiety because of post-traumatic stress disorder. If you feel like you are suffering from post-traumatic disorder, it is best that you contact your doctor to properly diagnose it and do whatever is best to help you overcome your trauma.

The use of illegal drugs like LSD, marijuana, ecstasy, and many others can greatly make the user more paranoid and have the feeling of being anxious. Even caffeine can contribute to your feeling of anxiousness like when you drink coffee or tea. Prescription drugs can also cause anxiety.

But then again, if you feel like your anxiety is getting out of hand and you are really getting uncomfortable with the episodes that you get, the best thing that you can do is contact your doctor for proper diagnosis and medication.

Depression can be a temporary response to many different situations and stresses. In adolescents, depressed mood is common because of the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, the influence of sex hormones, and independence conflicts with parents.It may also be a reaction to a trauma, such as the death of a friend or relative, a breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or failure at school. Adolescent girls are twice as likely as boys to experience depression. Adolescents, who have low self-esteem, are highly self-critical, and who feel little sense of control over negative events are particularly at risk to become depressed when they experience stressful events.True depression in teens is often difficult to diagnose because normal adolescent behavior is marked by both up and down moods. These moods may come and go over a period of hours or days.Some of the signs of teenage depression are: * Change in behaviors either at home or school in mood and actions * Violence or temper * Minor criminal behavior such as shoplifting, missing curfews * Change in diet and eating habits such as bulimia or anorexia *

With every new era, another set of challenges arises, and todays times are not any different. Actually, they are tougher and more expensive than ever before, making it is virtually impossible to raise a family on just one income. This means that, to be able to pay all the bills and put food on the table, many women also have to seek employment.Because of the financial constraints many families are facing today, and a higher rate of divorced or widowed mothers who are not receiving child support, an increasing number of women are forced to juggle both the roles of mother and employee. Their decision to work whilst bringing up children is not an easy one, but these women often feel they have no other choice.Employed mothers have to deal with a lot of stress. On one hand, they may feel they are letting their children down, because they are not always available to take care of their children the way stay-at-home mothers do. On the other hand, they may also feel restricted in their career and miss out on promotions, because they cannot work the long hours their colleagues do.
