Severe Anxiety/Panic Definition - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔As the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


person progresses to severe anxiety and panic, more primitive
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


survival skills take over, defensive responses ensue, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cognitive skills decrease significantly. A person with severe
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


anxiety has trouble thinking and reasoning. Muscles tighten, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


vital signs increase. The person paces; is restless, irritable, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


angry; or uses other similar emotional-psychomotor means to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


release tension. In panic, the emotional-psychomotor realm
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


predominates with accompanying fight, flight, or freeze |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


responses. Adrenaline surge greatly increases vital signs. Pupils
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


enlarge to let in more light, and the only cognitive process
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


focuses on the person's defense.

problems and are even eager for information. Teaching can be
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


effective when the client is mildly anxious.
