Anxiety

Anxiety is a common mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterised by feelings of unease, worry, and fear that can be intense and persistent. Anxiety can interfere with daily life and activities, causing significant distress and impairment.

There are several types of anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias, with each type of anxiety disorder having its own unique symptoms.

Anxiety can be caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, life experiences, and environmental factors. It can also be a symptom of other underlying medical conditions, such as thyroid disorders or heart disease. This is why it is important to consult a qualified professional, to exclude any underlying problems and have a proper assessment and diagnosis.

Often, treatment for anxiety includes medication, therapy, or a combination of both. Medications such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and beta-blockers can help relieve symptoms of anxiety. While medication can help alleviate these symptoms, they often come with unwanted side effects. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other forms of talk therapy can also be effective in treating anxiety by helping individuals learn new coping skills and techniques.

In addition to traditional treatments, lifestyle changes can also help manage anxiety symptoms. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep can all help reduce stress and promote overall wellbeing. Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and deep breathing exercises, can also be helpful in reducing anxiety.

Fortunately, there is also a drug-free way to reduce anxiety and stress, with the DAVID Delight, Delight Plus and Delight Pro. These are portable hand-held devices that employ a cutting-edge, non-invasive, drug-free approach to help in the management of anxiety. They use Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) to help reduce stress and achieve deep levels of relaxation. AVE is a technique that uses flashes of light and rhythmic sounds to synchronise brainwaves, helping to induce a meditative state.

When the brain perceives stress, it shifts blood flow away from the cerebral cortex into the body core, to prepare for a fight or flight response. This evolutionary adaptation was advantageous for our ancestors, but it is often the opposite of what the present-day person needs. AVE has been shown to produce dramatic increases in cerebral blood flow, neurotransmitters, dissociative states, efficient brain activity, and sound mental health. It has also proven to be able to induce meditative states and treat anxiety.

The Delight Plus and Delight Pro feature six categories of sessions: Energise, Meditate, Brain Booster, Sleep, and Feeling Better, as well as User-Defined sessions. These sessions have been designed based on the most current research findings, to ensure the most effective results. These sessions are supported by many pieces of research, which include Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), stress reduction, sleep problems, improved mood, mental alertness and balance (reduced risk of falling) in older people, and reduced worry, as well as improvements in concentration and memory in students.

The family of Delight devices feature larger easy-to-read, easy-to-operate buttons which allow users to select a session very easily. The session category buttons are lit to allow the user to see them in the dark. Mind Alive Inc. has been designing and manufacturing mind enhancement products for over 40 years, and has conducted extensive research in that time, continually revealing new applications for this ground breaking technology.

Overall, the DAVID Delight, Delight Plus and Delight Pro are a promising drug-free way to reduce anxiety and stress. It is a safe and effective alternative to traditional medications, offering individuals a natural and non-invasive way to manage their symptoms.

If you are struggling with anxiety, it is important to seek professional help. With the right treatment and support, it is possible to manage and overcome anxiety and improve your quality of life. If you suffer from anxiety or stress, the Delight, Delight Plus and Delight Pro may be a beneficial addition to your self-care routine.
