Ndizosadabwitsa kuti kupsinjika ndi nkhawa kumatha kukhala ndi zovuta m'moyo wanu kwakanthawi, ndikupangitsa chilichonse kuyambira kuwonjezeka kwa chiwopsezo cha mtima mpaka m'mimba. (FYI: Ichi Ndi Chifukwa Chake Nkhani Zimakupangitsani Nkhawa Kwambiri.)

Ndipo sikuti kuda nkhawa kumakhala kovuta kwambiri kuthana nako, komanso ndikofala kwambiri. Malinga ndi National Institute of Mental Health, 18.1% aku America amadwala matenda amtundu wina. Kuphatikiza apo, amayi ali ndi mwayi wopitilira 60 peresenti kuposa amuna kukhala ndi nkhawa m'miyoyo yawo-monga ngati kuthana ndi msambo, kutenga pakati, ndi kusinthasintha kwa mahomoni sikunali kovutirapo, sichoncho? Tsopano, kafukufuku watsopano wopangidwa ndi ofufuza ku Yunivesite ya Cambridge akuti nkhawa imatha kuyambitsa vuto lina lalikulu kwambiri laumoyo: khansa.

Phunziroli, ofufuza adayang'ana kwambiri kwa anthu omwe ali ndi vuto la nkhawa (GAD), lomwe, malinga ndi chipatala cha Mayo, limadziwika ndi nkhawa yambiri masiku ambiri a sabata kwa miyezi yopitilira sikisi, komanso zizindikilo zakuthupi monga kusakhazikika, kutopa, kusokonezeka, kusakwiya, kusokonezeka kwa minofu, ndi mavuto ogona. Kafukufukuyu akuti ngakhale kafukufuku wam'mbuyomu adawunika ngati nkhawa ikukhudzana ndi kufa msanga kuchokera ku matenda akulu (omwe amaphatikizapo khansa), zotsatira zake sizinasinthe. (Ichi ndi chifukwa chake muyenera kusiya kunena kuti muli ndi nkhawa ngati mulibe.)

Kuti awone bwino, ofufuza adayang'ana zidziwitso za odwala omwe ali ndi GAD amenenso adamwalira ndi khansa, yomwe idasonkhanitsidwa ngati gawo la kafukufuku wakale. Adapeza kuti amuna omwe ali ndi nkhawa anali kawiri chiopsezo cha kufa ndi khansa pamapeto pake. Chodabwitsa n'chakuti, kugwirizanitsa komweku sikunakhalepo kwa amayi pazidziwitso zawo, ngakhale ochita kafukufuku akuwonetsa kuyesa kwina kuti atsimikizire kuti izi zikugwirabe ntchito.

"Sitinganene kuti chimayambitsa chimzake," atero wofufuza wamkulu Olivia Remes ku European College of Neuropsychopharmacology Congress (ECNP). "N'zotheka kuti amuna omwe ali ndi nkhawa amakhala ndi moyo kapena zifukwa zina zomwe zimawonjezera khansa zomwe sitinaziwerengere kwathunthu." Remes adanenanso za kufunika kwa anthu ofufuza mphamvu, akuluakulu a boma, ndi madokotala-kuti azisamalira kwambiri matenda a nkhawa. "Anthu ambiri amakhudzidwa ndi nkhawa, ndipo zotsatira zake pa thanzi ndizambiri," adatero. "Ndi phunziroli, tikuwonetsa kuti nkhawa sizimangokhalira umunthu, koma m'malo mwake, ndi matenda omwe angagwirizane ndi chiopsezo cha imfa kuchokera ku mikhalidwe, monga khansa." (Zokhudzana: Mayeso Odabwitsa Awa Akaneneratu Kuda Nkhawa ndi Kukhumudwa Musanawonetse Zizindikiro.)

David Nutt, pulofesa ku Imperial College yemwe adayendetsanso chipatala cha ku U.K. chomwe chimakhudza matenda a nkhawa, adati zotsatira zake sizinamudabwitse. "Kupsinjika kwakukulu komwe anthu awa amavutika, nthawi zambiri tsiku ndi tsiku, nthawi zambiri kumalumikizidwa ndi kupsinjika kwakukulu kwamthupi komwe kumakhudza kwambiri magwiridwe antchito amthupi, kuphatikiza kuyang'anira chitetezo cha ma cell a khansa."

Chifukwa chake pomwe zotsatira zoyimilira za phunziroli zimakhudza kwambiri amuna, ndizowona kuti nkhawa (ndi zovuta zina zamatenda am'mutu) zimafunikanso kutengedwa mozama monga mavuto azaumoyo. Ndipo ngati mukudandaula za kulumikizana uku pakati pa nkhawa ndi khansa, mvetsetsani kuti olemba kafukufuku amadziwa kuti pangakhale zina zomwe zimakhudza moyo wanu, popeza anthu omwe ali ndi nkhawa kwambiri amatha kudzipangira mankhwala omwe angathandizenso kuopsa kwa khansa (onani: ndudu ndi mowa). Ndikofunikanso kukumbukira kuti kafukufukuyu amangoyang'ana pa GAD, chifukwa chake palibe chifukwa chodandaulira ngati muli ndi nkhawa zina (monga kuda nkhawa usiku kapena nkhawa zamagulu). Zachidziwikire, kafukufuku wambiri amafunikadi, koma kafukufukuyu ndi njira yoyenera kudziwa kulumikizana pakati pamavuto, nkhawa, ndi matenda.

Pakadali pano, ngati mukuyang'ana kuti muchepetse nkhawa, yesani izi Njira Zodetsa nkhawa Zochepetsa Mavuto Omwe Amakhala Ndi Nkhawa ndi Mafuta Ofunikawa Othandizira Kuda Nkhawa.
