Anxiety has both psychological connotations (such as the feeling of fear, worry and apprehension) and physical connotations (such as palpitations, shortness of breath, nausea, tremor). One of the consequences of an anxious state is the ' insomnia. However, the link between anxiety and inability to sleep is very complex. It is not, in fact, a simple cause-effect relationship, but the establishment of a "vicious circle": anxiety increases perceived stress, which turns into physical excitement. This leads to difficulty falling asleep and poor sleep quality that could turn into insomnia. The relationship between anxiety and insomnia (as pointed out by Professor Charles M. Morin in 2003) is mediated by the so-called emotional coping , that is the set of mental and behavioral strategies implemented by the individual when he is faced with a certain situation. A second consequence of the stress caused by anxiety is represented by panic attacks ; a very serious problem that affects almost one in 75 people, mainly during adolescence or early adulthood. The symptoms that identify a panic attack (according to the DSM IV diagnostic manual) can be grouped into 6 broad categories: symptoms mimicking a heart attack, respiratory problems, gastrointestinal problems, neurological problems, autonomic problems, psychiatric problems. We speak of a panic attack when one or more of these symptoms appear. Another consequence of the excess of an anxious state is the possibility of falling into a depressive state ; the constant difficulty in which one feels during an anxiety attack can lead to demoralization and, in the long run, to depression. To combat anxiety, an effective and safe method is to choose herbal food supplements with proven effectiveness and excellent tolerability, such as VALDISPERT Giorno , which thanks to its particular combination of valerian and lemon balm is able to calm the emotional state, reduce stress and combat the symptoms that follow.
