I would diagnose Mr. Goldfinger with a Panic Disorder DSM-5 300.01. A panic attack is when Mr. Goldfinger has experienced extreme and moderate discomfort of fear, in which these feelings reach a peak within 10 minutes and has gradually passed. His symptoms that accompany this fear or discomfort has been consist of 4 or more of the following according to the DSM-IV; and they are the heart pounding fast, speeding up, or palpitations, trembling or shaking, sweating, feelings of choking, pain in his chest or discomfort, feeling dizzy, lightheaded, faint, also feeling that what is happening around him was distorted. He also experienced fear of dying, going crazy or losing and felt like he had no control. Numbness or tingling sensations in every
Casey Weston’s vignette describes symptoms such as anxiety, fear, social isolation, heavy feelings of loneliness, extreme restlessness/irritability, feelings of overwhelming dread, and perceptions of low self-worth and bouts of crying. He also experienced somatic symptoms such as muscle tension, heart palpations, trembling/shaking, chest pain, increased heart rate, and difficulty breathing.
This disorder is preventing him from having a normal life like the people in the “real” world. Just like the definition mentions, he is constantly worried and has excessive anxiety; these two factors are said to be the primary symptoms of General Anxiety Disorder (Oltmanns & Emery, 2014). The patients in the mental ward mostly signed themselves up to be in the institution because they self- diagnosed themselves with a mental issue. However, the fact the Charlie Cheswick signs himself up explicitly proves how he has a mental disorder. According to the DSM- 5, a person with General Anxiety Disorder “must be accompanied by at least three of the following symptoms: (1) restlessness or feeling keyed up or on edge, (2) being easily fatigued, (3) difficulty concentrating or mind going blank, (4) irritability, (5) muscle tension, and (6) sleep disturbance” (Oltmanns & Emery, 2014, p. 150). Already Cheswick fulfills more than half of the requirements to be considered having General Anxiety Disorder. Throughout the movie, Cheswick shows signs of having this disorder because he does not expect anything good to happen in his life; he always assumes that everything will go wrong. Moreover, Cheswick portrays difficulty of concentrating because he always worries about everything. He does not let go of his worries. This factor also leads to him being fatigued because he is too focused on his worries and concerns, preventing himself from enjoying his life. Cheswick has a sleep disturbance because of a similar reason for him feeling
...t feel so damn dizzy any more” (Salinger 204). What Holden experiences in the floor of the bathroom are psychosomatic symptoms. The severity of his mental problems are catching up to him, but now his body is affected as well. Holden’s physical pain may be real, but they are partly being imagined through his psychosis.
These disorders are shown when Caulfield takes everything in a negative way, talks about being depressed, thinks that everyone is “phony”, and talks about his deceased brother. First, Caulfield takes everything in a negative direction. One example is when he says, “I'm pretty sure he yelled, "Good luck!" at me. I hope not.

Finally, epileptic convulsions occur and the patient sinks into a coma. George III's first attack occurred in 1765, four years after his marriage to Queen Charlotte. From 1811 to the time of his death in 1820 he became progressively insane and blind.
Fear and Anxiety are essential functions that occur in the brain that allow people to respond to stimuli appropriately. These feelings as normal as they are can cause problems and in 3.1 percent of adult Americans approximately 6.8 million people it does cause problems (“Generalized anxiety disorder”, 2014). A problem can arise when people have too much fear and anxiety; a problem is evident when it interferes with their life and their ability to do things. This is known as general anxiety disorder (GAD). When someone is suffering from generalized anxiety disorder they normally experience excessive exaggerated anxiety and worry about normal life events that give no clear reason for worry (“Generalized anxiety disorder”, 2014). This disorder can be debilitating and rule over people’s lives if it is severe and a better understanding of the disorder can be gained by looking at historical views, current views, causes and symptoms, case studies, differential diagnosis considerations, and treatment.
Anxiety is a feeling of tension associated with a sense of threat of danger when the source of the danger is not known. In comparison, fear is a feeling of tension that is associated with a known source of danger. I believe it is normal for us to have some mild anxiety present in our daily lives. Everyday that I can think of I have some kind of anxiety though out that day. Anxiety warns us and enables us to get ready for the ‘fight or flight’ response. However, heightened anxiety is emotionally painful. It disrupts a person's daily functioning.

Melvin, according to social norms is acting abnormal. Most “normal” people will not use a new bar of soap every time they was their hands, or avoid stepping on cracks because they feel panic if they step on one. Since the majority of people do not partake in these behaviors, this is probably what prompted him to see a psychologist in the first
There is heavy speculation surrounding the psychology of Macbeth. Nevertheless, even with an elementary understanding of the play one can attribute Macbeth with troubled emotions, these emotions being encompassed by anxiety and it is many divisions. Anxiety is defined as “an abnormal and overwhelming sense of apprehension and fear often marked by physiological signs…, by doubt concerning the reality and nature of the threat, and by self-doubt about one's capacity to cope with it” (Merriam-Webster). The most common symptoms of anxiety disorder include feelings of “panic and fear, uncontrollable and obsessive thoughts, repeated thoughts or flashbacks of traumatic experiences, nightmares, ritualistic behaviors, problems sleeping, shortness of breath, ritualistic behaviors, an inability to be still and calm, nausea and dizziness, and palpitations” (WebMD). The exact causes of anxiety disorder are unknown, but research suggests the disorder is caused by changes in the brain and environmental stress. One division of emotion that falls under anxiety...
Clinician ruled this out due to symptoms better explained by another diagnosis. Gabie’s obsessive thoughts are intrusive and not about real-life concerns, such as “the faucet dripping will overflow and harm a roommate.” Gabie has not reported any panic attacks.
Asthma attack has greatly affected the people of Oakland, especially the West Oakland residents. This has been attributed mainly to Port of Oakland activities, which has produced many emissions to the surrounding environment (Hoek et al., 2013). The strategies undertaken assume a great role in reducing these disparities. Full adoption of these activities in CAOP will ensure proper and healthy living vicinities among residents.
