Acupressure : How to Diagnose Stress/ Tension/ Anxiety/ Depression


All of us experience anxiety, stress , tension and depression at some or other stage in our lives. If we do not cope with it immediately and deliberately it might overwhelm us and immobilise us for the tasks that we have to perform. It forms the cornerstone of all forms of dis-ease. Depression, stress, and anxiety are the most common problems that lead people to go to a psychologist.

Our brains naturally try to create meaning or patterns from our experience. Ambiguity and uncertainty arise from the brain/mind’s desire to understand and it is the tolerance or lack of tolerance for these uncertainties that can partly explain anxiety or depressive reaction.  In the state of anxiety, stress , tension and depression individuals experience excessive uneasiness and that they worry as a result of perceived (excessive or dangerous) demands that are made on them on an interpersonal level. The anxiety, worry or tenseness could result in the impairment of social, occupational, physical and other important areas of functioning. One could also say that individuals experience an excessive sensitivity for other's opinions, attitudes, and demands.
