Physical Changes Due To Anxiety And Chronic Stress May Increase The Risk Of Dementia    

According to a study, persons with anxiety in middle life have an increased risk of developing dementia in later life. However, it is not clear if dementia is a result of anxiety at an earlier life, or if anxiety is an early symptom of dementia. However, chronic anxiety generates a stress response via the hormone cortisol, which sets the body in a fight-or-flight situation. This hormone accelerates the aging of cells and promotes changes in the nervous system, which could increase the risk of dementia. Dementia is a neurodegenerative condition, which means that the symptoms will get gradually worse. Among these symptoms are mood changes, and problems following a conversation, with movement, and with concentration. However, the process leading to dementia begins in the brain 20 years before the symptoms show. Click here for more information.

We have explained before the harmful effects of chronic anxiety over the body. However, there are also effects on the brain and even the personality. Stress and anxiety prepare the body for potential short-term dangers. Chronic anxiety prepares the body for constant, non-stop dangers. One of the problems is related to a problem in concentration, which may lead to impaired thinking, also known as lack of focus, being unable to stop intrusive thoughts. There is also an inability to self-regulate, or calm down, which sets the body in a constant state of anxiety. Anxious people have a high risk of training the mind to set up anxiety pathways. This means that, in many situations, the brain will take automatically the anxiety pathways because it has been trained to do so.
