Psychological insecurity expresses as anxiety and depression and
in severe cases may result in psychosis, which is a mental disorder.
Psychologically insecure individuals may even attempt suicide.
Anxiety is not abnormal. Everyone gets the feeling of anxiety
sometime or the other. Anxiety is an apprehension of something
unpleasant or some danger. It causes mental discomfort and pain. It may
sometimes prove to be useful, for example, before an examination or
competition. But an abnormally high level of anxiety is
counterproductive as it distracts and lowers the span of attention.
Adolescents sometimes panic out of anxiety without knowing the reason.
They may even feel a fear of failure in future. This makes them tense
and tired. Anxiety may manifest as a need to get medical treatment for
an imaginary sleep disorder or some other physical complaint. It may
also manifest as over breathing (hyperventilation syndrome). Anxiety
may even be due to separation from parents or even for having to attend
school out of compulsion or due to sex drive. Adolescents may try to get
out of anxiety by self-help. The right treatment for anxiety lies in
seeking help from parents, teachers, counselors and even friends.
Feeling ‘sad’ or low is common among the adolescents. If the
feeling is short-lived there is no problem. But sometimes symptoms of
depression show up as social withdrawal, need to weep, eating and
sleeping problems, and feeling of dejection and hopelessness.
Depression at times leads to hostility towards parents, society and peers.
‘Anger’ is sometimes a psychological reaction for fighting depression. If
an individual faces pressure, he/she should be empowered to access or
seek information, advice, support through appropriate communication
from significant adults such as the parents, teachers, elders, relatives,
peers, counselors and health professionals. The best way to get out of
depression is to engage oneself in various types of physical activities and
hobbies. Hope you all will have Psychological security.
