The most interesting
The most interesting parts of this moudle for me were the sections on Tic disorders and Anxiety disorders. A tic is a sudden, rapid, involuntary stereotyped movement or vocalization that may be temporarily suppressed by conscious efforts, and are exacerbated by stress, anxiety, boredom, or fatigue. Tourette's Syndrome is a common tic disorder with patterns of motor and vocal tics. Tic disorders have just recently been the topic of discussion in the past few years as many people in the public were unaware of the nature of the disorder, and often met people who have this complication with disgust and contempt. Thanks to talk-shows and other such avenues, disorders like Tourettes Syndrome are more well known and hopefully will help society begin to accept the individuals it effects. I also found the subject of anxiety disorders very close to home, since I myself have a mild form Panic Disorder. Panic Disorder, a type of Anxiety disorder, is characterized by a sudden onset of fear and terror accompanied by physical symptoms in vital organs such as the heart and lungs. I have first hand experience with these symptoms, and they are truly alarming. I have had the heart palpitations and restricted breathing(almost to the point of passing out) simply because a math test was imminent, this was also triggered from a fear of running into a specific person, with-out actually seeing them. You develop anticipatory anxiety, just by fearing the panic attack itself, which I have also experienced. Like the text suggests, the physical complaints are so alarming they have indeed driven me to the Emergency Room, thinking I was having a heart attack. Thank goodness that wasn't the case, but panic disorder is not something I'm happy about either. Anxiety disorders are common among relatives, which is true in my case on my mother's side of the family. Anxiety disorders respond to treatment with medication and psychotherapy, although use of medications is limited by the potential for addiction.
