NRNP 6635 Week 4 Assignment
\nWeek 4: Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, And OCD
\nYour own experiences might tell you that expectations from family, friends, and
\nwork\u2014as well as your own expectations regarding achievement, success, and
\nhappiness\u2014can create stress. Stressors are a normal part of life, and stress traditionally has been viewed as an adaptive function with a set of physiological responses to a stressor. In a situation where stress is perceived, the organism is physiologically prepared to attack or flee from the threat.
\nThose with effective fight or flight responses tended to survive long enough to
\nreproduce, so we are descended from those who are genetically hardwired for
\nself-protection. When you experience stress, your biology, emotions, social support, motivation, environment, attitude, immune function, and wellness all feel the ripple effect.
\nThis stress response is an adaptive response the human body has to threats; however, stress can also be difficult to handle and\u2014depending upon the nature and intensity of the stress\u2014can result in anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, or traumaand stressor-related disorders. This week, you will focus on these disorders and explore strategies to accurately assess and diagnose them.

\n\u201cFear,\u201d according to the DSM-5, \u201cis the emotional response to real or perceived imminent threat, whereas anxiety is anticipation of future threat\u201d (APA, 2013). All anxiety disordersbcontain some degree of fear or anxiety symptoms (often in combination with avoidant
\nbehaviors), although their causes and severity differ.
\nTrauma-related disorders may also, but not necessarily, contain fear and anxiety
\nsymptoms, but their primary distinguishing criterion is exposure to a traumatic event.
\nTrauma can occur at any point in life. It might not surprise you to discover that
\ntraumatic events are likely to have a greater effect on children than on adults.
\nEarly-life traumatic experiences, such as childhood sexual abuse, may influence the physiology of the developing brain. Later in life, there is a chronic hyperarousal of the stress response, making the individual vulnerable to further stress and stress-related disease.

Week 4: Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, and OCD<\/p>\n
You may have personally experienced how expectations from family, friends, work, and your own expectations about achievement, success, and happiness can lead to stress. Stressors are a normal part of life, and stress has traditionally been seen as an adaptive response with a set of physiological reactions to a stressor. When faced with stress, our bodies are physiologically prepared to either confront or flee from the threat.<\/p>\n
Those who possessed effective fight-or-flight responses tended to survive long enough to reproduce, and thus, we are descendants of individuals genetically hardwired for self-protection. When you experience stress, it has a ripple effect on various aspects of your biology, emotions, social support, motivation, environment, attitude, immune function, and overall wellness.<\/p>\n
While this stress response is adaptive, it can also be challenging to manage and, depending on the nature and intensity of stress, can lead to anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, or trauma- and stressor-related disorders. This week, you will focus on these disorders and explore strategies for accurately assessing and diagnosing them.<\/p>\n
