			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new research has recently hit the headlines of all leading media agents and has come up with a mind blowing theory.</p>
<p>According to the new study, technology freaks often go 48 hours without talking to anyone in person. They are completely in the silent mode and withdraw in their own world without any verbal contact with human beings. This kind of personality disorder can be termed as digitally dominant group that mostly communicates by text, email, or video calls.</p>
<p>Around 3% of people fall in this category.</p>
<p><img class="alignright  wp-image-1901" style="padding: 3px;" title="Gadgets addiction" src="http://www.disorderscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Gadgets-addiction-1-300x261.jpg" alt="Gadgets addiction" width="238" height="207" />This <a title="Reactive Attachment Disorder in Children – Can It Be Treated?" href="http://www.disorderscentral.com/reactive-attachment-disorder.html">disorder</a> is spelling the death knell for all social interaction and hampering the personal relationships and causing issues in the actual interpersonal skills for all addicts to gadgets and gaming.</p>
<p>The research has also proved that the adults in this digitally dominant group hate shopping and human interactions.</p>
<p>This digitally dominant group just absolutely dislikes the idea of spoken communication, they also hate to speak and will always insist on communicating using the technological tools.</p>
<p>This research was conducted on a sample audience of 1000 people and nearly 16% were classified as digitally dominant group which an alarming number was considering the vast population, thus giving rise to a new type of personality disorder.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="wp-image-1866 alignleft" style="padding: 3px;" title="Causes of generalized anxiety disorder" src="http://www.disorderscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/causes-of-generalized-anxiety-disorder-292x300.jpg" alt="Causes of generalized anxiety disorder" width="167" height="170" />Generalized Anxiety Disorder also known as GAD is defined as “Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by chronic feelings of excessive worry and anxiety without a specific cause.”</p>
<p>It is identified when the emotion which reigns the most in an individual is of anxiety and worry. Such a person gets tense very frequently and is unable to lead a normal life.</p>
<h5>Causes</h5>
<p>Although the actual cause of GAD is not completely known, yet our overall genetic makeup is said to have an influence on the same. The frequency is higher in women as compared to men. Often children are also found to be subject to this malady.</p>
<h5>Symptoms</h5>
<p>One of the major symptoms of <a title="Generalized Anxiety Disorder " href="http://www.disorderscentral.com/generalized-anxiety-disorder.html">Generalized Anxiety Disorder</a> is being is a continuous state of tension and anxiety even in the absence of any concrete reason. Patients of GAD often worry about insignificant problems and tend to think abnormally about them. Even trivial issues at work place become unbearable causes of stress for them.</p>
<p>Many a times, the patient is aware that the problem is insignificant and yet they find it difficult to relax and solve the issue. Fretting becomes a second nature to them.</p>
<p>Due to constant worry and tension, such people have difficulty in concentrating on anything and remaining focused.</p>
<p>They are often tired and lethargic as they exhaust themselves by constantly living in fear.</p>
<p>This abnormal fear affects their sleep patterns also and they are often found to be restless due to lack of sleep. This leads them to be irritated easily; thus, aggravating their problem further.</p>
<p>Subjecti<img class="alignright  wp-image-1867" style="padding: 3px;" title="Symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder" src="http://www.disorderscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Symptoms-of-generalized-anxiety-disorder-300x199.jpg" alt="Symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder" width="207" height="137" />ng their mind to constant turmoil has an adverse effect on their health also.</p>
<p>People suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder often complain of heaviness of the head, unbearable headaches, upset stomach, nausea and high blood pressure.</p>
<h5>Treatment</h5>
<h5><img class="alignright  wp-image-1868" style="padding: 3px;" title="Treatment of generalized anxiety disorder" src="http://www.disorderscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Treatment-of-generalized-anxiety-disorder-300x199.jpg" alt="Treatment of generalized anxiety disorder" width="207" height="136" /></h5>
<p>Proper therapy and counseling sessions often cure the patient.</p>
<p>But in some extreme cases medication becomes essential to aid in the healing process.</p>
<p>With proper care and treatment it is possible to cure it is indeed possible for the patient to overcome this condition and lead a normal and healthy life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unipolar disorder is another term used for major depressive disorder. Statistics suggest that close to 14.8 billion adult American residents get diagnosed with unipolar disorder every year. The most defining characteristics of unipolar disorder are loss of interest and depression. Besides that patients with this condition can experience some secondary symptoms like appetite changes, weight changes, sleep changes, surfacing of suicidal thoughts etc. This article will inform you briefly about the most commonly occurring <strong>signs of unipolar disorder</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom: 15px;">To be diagnosed with unipolar disorder one needs to experience decreased interest or depressed <a title="Major depressive disorder: Mood Based disorder" href="http://www.disorderscentral.com/major-depressive-disorder.html">mood</a> for a minimum of 2 consecutive weeks. Most of the patients diagnosed with this condition withdraw themselves from all kinds of social interactions and normal activities, which makes them more prone to being depressed.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 15px;">Another common <strong>sign<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1822" title="Unipolar disorder" src="http://www.disorderscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Unipolar-disorder.jpg" alt="Unipolar disorder" width="221" height="280" />s of unipolar disorder</strong> is loss of appetite, which often cause drastic weight loss in them. There are also instances when people with unipolar disorder have abnormal increase in their appetite; these people unlike the previous group undergo rapid weight gain.</li>

<li style="padding-bottom: 15px;">Feelings or guilt and worthlessness also indicate occurrence of unipolar disorder. These patients often suffer from lack of self-esteem; they might feel that they are not good human beings or do not possess the ability of performing well in school or office.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Histrionic personality disorder is a disorder marked by behaviors designs for drawing attention towards oneself. Individuals suffering from this disorder want to remain the center of attraction all the time. Often they start showing up excessive and inappropriate emotional behaviors when they find themselves failing to remain the center of attraction. Below, we have discussed about the steps involved in <strong>treatment of histrionic personality disorder</strong>.</p>
<ol>
<li style="padding-bottom: 15px;">The first step of deciding the treatment for this condition is identifying the signs of the disorder. Some <strong>signs of histrionic personality disorder</strong> include continuous shifting of emotions, which are apparently shallow, physical appearances designed specifically for drawing attention, sexually suggestive behaviors etc.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 15px;">If you notice this<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1815" style="padding: 3px;" title="Histrionic personality disorder" src="http://www.disorderscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Histrionic-personality-disorder-copy.jpg" alt="Histrionic personality disorder" width="216" height="168" /> signs in a person you know, consult a psychiatrist. He will examine the symptoms in the patient and inform you whether they actually indicate <a title="WHAT IS HISTRIONIC PERSONALITY DISORDER?" href="http://www.disorderscentral.com/histrionic-personality-disorder.html">histrionic personality disorder</a> or not. Only a professional can make accurate diagnosis as several signs of this personality disorder surface and disappear based on the levels of stress experienced by the patient.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 15px;">Most cases of <strong>histrionic personality disorder</strong> are treated with individualized psychotherapy. This psychotherapy type is used as it is the most useful way of determining and isolating the factors causing histrionic personality disorder. The patient must be kept under proper care to ensure that the therapy causes gradual improvement in him.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 15px;">The psychotherapist monitors the emotions and feelings exhibited by the <strong>histrionic personality disorder</strong> patient during the psychotherapy sessions. This allows them to understand the reasons behind the increased stress levels in them.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 15px;">A mental health doctor should avoid recommending medications for treating <strong>histrionic personality disorder</strong>. There are instances when the anti-psychotic drugs have ended up aggravating the signs of this personality disorder.</li>
