On the basis of the symptoms discussed above, what is the diagnosis of the case? (2)
Anxiety Disorder
Like other brain illnesses, anxiety disorders may be caused by problems in the functioning of brain
circuits that regulate fear and other emotions. Studies have shown that severe or long-lasting stress can
change the way nerve cells within these circuits transmit information from one region of the brain to
another. Other studies have shown that people with certain anxiety disorders have changes in certain
brain structures that control memories linked with strong emotions. In addition, studies have shown that
anxiety disorders can run in families, which means that they can at least partly be inherited from one or
both parents, similar to the genetic risk for heart disease or cancer. Moreover, certain environmental
factors -- such as a trauma or significant event -- may trigger an anxiety disorder in people who have an
inherited susceptibility to developing the disorder.

Regular physical activity
A behavior change plan to help you stay on track with your goals
While dessert, alcohol, and fried foods tend to be high in calories, just because you want to lose weight
doesn't mean you have to live without the foods you adore. Actually, denying yourself the bites you
crave can backfire, causing you to feel deprived, resulting in bingeing. You can't eat these foods all the
time, but it's perfectly healthy to enjoy a few spoonful of ice cream or a small glass of Chardonnay every
once in a while. Just tone down your portion sizes and only indulge about once a week. So when a
