Its not doctor's job to tell her patients to manage anxiety. Doctors job is not to play a guru. Her job is dispose medically proven solutions.
Why would a doctor be in better position to give this personal advice to her patients ?
- ativzzz 7y agoWhy not? The mayo clinic defines anxiety as a medical disorder: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/anxiety/symptoms-causes/syc-20350961 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/anxiety/sympt.... Why shouldn't doctors help patients manage it?
- dominotw 7y agosure if the patient is sufferring from anxiety Feeling nervous, restless or tense Having an increased heart rate Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation) Thats not what the article is talking about though. GP is talking about promoting some sort of "well being" thorough anxiety reduction. Has nothing to do if the person is sweating or breathing rapidly.
- ativzzz 7y agoHow about the other symptoms you didn't list? > Having the urge to avoid things that trigger anxiety > Feeling weak or tired > Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry > Having trouble sleeping Those are exactly the issues GP is talking about, article even mentioned anectodes of improved sleep.
