Protecting Your Mental Health Against the Effects of COVID 19|MindBody Breakthrough OCD often serves as a defence mechanism against overwhelming unresolved traumatic emotions, buried in the subconscious mind. In times of uncertainties and stress, obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety symptoms escalate. The fear that we feel in our minds instructs the anxiety circuits in the brain to up-regulate our sympathetic nervous system for hyper-arousal. This bio-chemical instruction increases our somatic symptoms of anxiety and OCD symptoms, and the Amygdala (fear and anxiety centre) starts to micro-manage our mind and body. Some people experience increased anxiety symptoms, such as palpitations, tingling of arms and Continue reading

If things are not right with the way the neurones send and receive messages among each other, anxiety and other psychological conditions can be the resulting factors. Now, for communication to take place between the brain Continue reading
