Don"t Label Yourself With a Disorder - 5 Symptoms That Could Just Be Normal Life

In these time where SAD (social anxiety disorder), GAD (general anxiety disorder), panic attacks and depression are common among many people, it is all too easy to read about the symptoms or hear about the symptoms on TV and label yourself with a "disorder" when you don't really have one.
The internet and TV makes it very easy for people to self-diagnose their problem and then they have convinced themselves that they are suffering from a "disorder" without a medical diagnosis, making it harder for a medical professional to accurately make that decision.
The symptoms below do not always mean you have social anxiety disorder (SAD) or generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
* Shyness and fear of speaking in public.
* Worrying about things, mulling it over and over in your mind and depression about the problem(s).
* Self doubt and second guessing decisions.
* Not wanting to be the center of attention.
* Feeling like an outcast in social situations.
Any of these symptoms above can be a temporary situation and most everyone at some time or another has experienced these symptoms but have not suffered long term effects from them.
Self-diagnosis can put yourself in that "mindset" and prevent you from overcoming a reaction to normal stress and every day living.
Your problem could just be as simple as low self esteem and is not a "disorder" but it can make any of the above symptoms appear that they are more serious than they are.
If any of the above symptoms begin to hinder your every day life on a continuous basis, then go to your doctor with an open mind and let the professional make the diagnosis.
If you have gone to your physician and have truly been diagnosed with SAD (social anxiety disorder), GAD (general anxiety disorder), panic attacks and/or depression, sometimes there are alternatives to treatment without medications.
