{"product_id":"2940014170314","title":"Dealing With Stress Naturally","description":"Before seeking medical attention…\u003cbr\u003eIt is a fact of modern life that each and every one of us has less time\u003cbr\u003eavailable than we would have had a few decades ago and that with less\u003cbr\u003etime available, it is natural that all of us look for ‘quick fixes’ or\u003cbr\u003eshortcuts to get things done as quickly as possible.\u003cbr\u003eThis is probably the main reason why most of us will immediately rush\u003cbr\u003eoff to the doctor at the first sign of any kind of medical problem. As\u003cbr\u003esoon as we suspect that we have some kind of malady or ailment, we\u003cbr\u003eunderstandably want to know what it is as soon as possible but perhaps\u003cbr\u003eeven more importantly, we want to ‘cure’ whatever is ailing us as\u003cbr\u003equickly as possible as well.\u003cbr\u003eAfter all, most people who are still fortunate enough to have a job\u003cbr\u003ecannot afford to take a week or two off – there are plenty of other\u003cbr\u003epeople who will be more than happy to step into their shoes at a\u003cbr\u003emoments notice. Moreover, if you take too much time off work, it\u003cbr\u003ealmost inevitably means that there is a huge backlog to be made up\u003cbr\u003ewhen you eventually return, which is a recipe for a great deal more\u003cbr\u003estress in any event!\u003cbr\u003eNevertheless, despite the fact that it is human nature to think that you\u003cbr\u003eare the only one who suffers the problems that you do, everyone else\u003cbr\u003ethat you deal with on a daily basis is busy as well and that includes your\u003cbr\u003edoctor. Hence, it is natural for your doctor to seek the quickest and\u003cbr\u003eeasiest ‘cure’ for any problem that you take to him (or her).\u003cbr\u003eThis almost inevitably involves the prescription of chemical-based\u003cbr\u003epharmaceutical drugs and this is no less true when you ask your doctor\u003cbr\u003eto ‘do something about’ your stress problem than it is with any other\u003cbr\u003ekind of ailment which might see you visiting the doctor's office.\u003cbr\u003eIf by compiling your own stress trigger list you have convinced yourself\u003cbr\u003ethat you are a person who is prone to stress attacks, it might be\u003cbr\u003etempting to seek immediate medical advice. Before you do so however,\u003cbr\u003eyou should take a moment to consider whether this is the most\u003cbr\u003eappropriate action.\u003cbr\u003eIf you visit your doctor because you suspect that you suffer from stress,\u003cbr\u003ethe chances are that he or she will prescribe medication, most\u003cbr\u003ecommonly anti-anxiety or antidepressant drugs.\u003cbr\u003e18\u003cbr\u003eWhilst we will examine the kind of drugs that doctors most commonly\u003cbr\u003eprescribe for stress in more detail later, the important point to note\u003cbr\u003ehere is that these drugs are only capable of calming the symptoms of\u003cbr\u003eyour stress problem. They do not attack it at the root by helping you to\u003cbr\u003eanalyze what it is that is causing stress in your life, nor do drugs help\u003cbr\u003eyou to understand what you need to do if you want to minimize or\u003cbr\u003eeradicate the stress you suffer on a daily basis.\u003cbr\u003eInstead, the drugs that you will be prescribed are most likely to calm\u003cbr\u003eyou down when you are in a situation which might otherwise cause you\u003cbr\u003estress. Hence, the beneficial effect of these drugs is only going to be\u003cbr\u003etemporary after which your propensity to suffer stress attacks will\u003cbr\u003ereturn unabated.\u003cbr\u003eBut the most scary thing is that doctors in the West are aware that antianxiety\u003cbr\u003eand antidepressant drugs are the prescription drugs that are\u003cbr\u003emost commonly abused and misused. Whilst these drugs can provide\u003cbr\u003etemporary relief from the worst effects of stress, anxiety and\u003cbr\u003edepression, they are open to harmful abuse and can be highly addictive\u003cbr\u003eas well.\u003cbr\u003eFor all of these reasons, it makes far more sense to study the list of\u003cbr\u003estress triggers that you compiled earlier in an effort to firstly identify\u003cbr\u003eexactly what it is that is causing your problems. Doing so means that\u003cbr\u003eyou can come up with a long-term lifestyle change plan that will\u003cbr\u003eminimize or banish whatever it is that causes stress from your life. In\u003cbr\u003ethis way, you reduce the need to resort to pharmaceutical drugs to\u003cbr\u003e‘treat’ stress, thereby limiting the possibility that these drugs will\u003cbr\u003eeventually become as big a problem as stress itself.\u003cbr\u003eAnd all this is before even beginning to consider the potential side-effect\u003cbr\u003erisks that many common anti-anxiety and antidepressant\u003cbr\u003epharmaceutical drugs problems pose. We will consider some of the most\u003cbr\u003ecommonly prescribed drugs and their potential side-effects in the next\u003cbr\u003echapter.\u003cbr\u003e19\u003cbr\u003eMedical stress solutions analyzed\u003cbr\u003eAs you can see from this screenshot from Drugs.com, most of the\u003cbr\u003eleading drugs that are prescribed for anxiety and stress are SSRI Antidepressants\u003cbr\u003eamongst which you will note are some of the best-known\u003cbr\u003eantidepressant drugs such as Prozac and Effexor:\u003cbr\u003eUsing Prozac as an example of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors\u003cbr\u003e(SSRIs), the first point to make is that antidepressants of this nature\u003cbr\u003ewere originally adopted because they apparently...","brand":"Laiftllc.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080002879728,"sku":"2940014170314","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014170314_p0.jpg?v=1763602446","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014170314","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
