Anxiety And Its Long-Term Effects On The Body
Kang, H. J., Bae, K. Y., Kim, S. W., Shin, H. Y., Shin, I. S., Yoon, J. S., & Kim, J. M. (2017). Impact of anxiety and depression on physical health condition and disability in an elderly Korean population. Psychiatry Investigation, 14(3), 240.
Kang et al. acknowledge that comorbid anxiety and depression are the most common mental health problems among the elders. These disorders are linked to considerable overall functional disability, physical and cognitive effects, and sometimes mortality. The authors aim to investigate the long-term effects of anxiety and depression and their comorbidity on disability and other physical disorders using an elderly Korean population as a sample size. They found out that anxiety was associated with higher risks of heart disease while depression caused asthma. Both disorders were also linked to causing eyesight problems, heart disease, and hypertension. The article primarily addresses the effects on older adults, but the outcomes can be linked to any individual with these mental disorders for the research. People often live with anxiety disorders without getting diagnosed or treated, which explains why it is apparent among elders. The authors suggest that if one suggests having an anxiety disorder, it is advisable to get professional treatment to avoid effects.

In this article, the authors illustrate the various effects of both anxiety and depression. Chisholm et al. suggest that these disorders have enormous effects on the human body and psychological causing lost health, decreased economic output, and general human misery. They mentioned that anxiety is associated with an increased risk of premature mortality because of suicidal rates, substance use disorder, and increasing non-communicable diseases. Chisholm et al. also suggest that anxiety disorders may affective the digestive system, cause high blood pressure and heart disease. Because of these effects, the authors propose a scaled-up treatment to improve people’s health from such effects. This article is essential to the research because it discusses the mental and psychological effects of anxiety and depression.
Khan, M. K., Khan, A., Khan, S. U., & Khan, S. (2017). Effects of anxiety on athletic performance. Res. Inves. Sports Med, 1, 1-5.
Khan et al., in their article “Effects of Anxiety on Athletic Performance.” illustrate the effect of anxiety disorder regarding psychological, physiological, and behavioral perspectives, particularly on players. Anxiety plays a vital role in sport because how a player manages his/her degree of anxiety determines the success of the outcomes. The authors mention that high anxiety levels during competition can lead to worse performance or dropouts based on sports psychologist suggestions. Anxiety affects the central nervous system, psychology, physiology, gastrointestinal and other parts of the body. Due to these effects, the authors propose treatment approaches including medication, psychotherapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. This is a reliable source that will be essential to the research on the effects of anxiety on the body and will prove significant. It offers a wide coverage on anxiety and sports and effects on players’ body.

Anxiety is common during pregnancy; however, the effects of anxiety on the mother’s body and perinatal outcomes are not widely known. Grigoriadis et al. illustrate the adverse outcomes of antenatal anxiety on perinatal outcomes. They found that maternal anxiety is likely to cause low birth weight, preterm births, small head circumference at birth, and other wide range of adverse perinatal outcomes. Pregnant women should have anxiety screening to avoid such outcomes. This article fits the research project because it offers a unique maternal body approach, which creates a difference between this source and others. Unlike other sources, the association between antenatal anxiety and prenatal outcomes has not been previously summarized, making this article a good choice. Additionally, the authors suggest effective treatment of antenatal anxiety to reduce the risks of adverse perinatal outcomes.

The generalized anxiety disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale in adolescents with generalized anxiety disorder: Signal detection and validation. Annals of clinical psychiatry: official Journal of the American Academy of Clinical Psychiatrists, 29(4), 227.
Anxiety disorders are among the leading psychiatric conditions among children and teenagers in the United States. Most of the time, these disorders go under-diagnosed and untreated. In this article, Mossman et al. seek to evaluate a brief (GAD-7) Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale in young adults with anxiety disorder. This study is essential to the research project since it identifies the existing symptoms among adolescents with GAD, which corresponds with the research topic. Notably, identifying these symptoms helps differentiate between moderate and mild anxiety disorders hence providing effective treatment for them. They reported that unlike in elderly anxiety patients, adolescents over-present symptoms such as cardiovascular and genitourinary. For children, Mossman et al. illustrate that they have trouble sleeping, get frequent stomach and headaches, and are more fatigued compared to adults with anxiety disorder. If untreated, children may experience increased anxiety symptoms in their adulthood.
