Woah, Ingabe Ukukhathazeka Kungayandisa Ingozi Yakho Yomdlavuza?

Akumangalisi ukuthi kokubili ukucindezeleka nokukhathazeka kungaba nemiphumela emibi ehlala njalo empilweni yakho yonke ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kubangele konke kusuka engcupheni yokuhlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo kuye ezindabeni zamathumbu. (FYI: Yingakho Izindaba Zikwenza Ukhathazeke Kangaka.)

Futhi akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi kunzima kakhulu ukubhekana nokukhathazeka, kodwa futhi kujwayelekile kakhulu. NgokweNational Institute of Mental Health, amaphesenti angu-18.1 abantu baseMelika ahlushwa uhlobo oluthile lokuphazamiseka kokukhathazeka. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abesifazane banamathuba angamaphesenti angama-60 okuba nokukhathazeka ngesikhathi sokuphila kwabo—njengokungathi ukubhekana nokuya esikhathini, ukukhulelwa, nama-hormone ashintshashintshayo bekungenzima ngokwanele, akunjalo? Manje, ucwaningo olusha olwenziwe ngabaphenyi eNyuvesi yaseCambridge luthi ukukhathazeka kungadala okunye ukukhathazeka okukhulu kwezempilo: umdlavuza.

Ocwaningweni, abacwaningi bagxile kubantu abane-generalized disorder disorder (GAD), okuthi, ngokusho kweMayo Clinic, ibonakale ngokukhathazeka ngokweqile izinsuku eziningi zesonto izinyanga ezingaphezu kweziyisithupha, kanye nezimpawu zomzimba njengokungahlaliseki, ukukhathala, Inkinga yokugxila, ukucasulwa, ukungezwani kwemisipha, nezinkinga zokulala. Ucwaningo luphawula ukuthi ngenkathi ucwaningo lwangaphambilini luhlolisise ukuthi ukukhathazeka kuhlobene nokufa ngaphambi kwesikhathi kwezifo ezinkulu (okubandakanya umdlavuza), imiphumela ibingaguquguquki. (Nakhu ukuthi kungani kufanele uyeke ukuthi unexhala uma ungenalo.)

Ukuze babhekisise kabanzi, abacwaningi babheke imininingwane ngeziguli ezine-GAD nazo ezabulawa umdlavuza, ezaqoqwa njengengxenye yocwaningo lwangaphambilini. Bathola ukuthi amadoda abenexhala ayenakho kabili nengozi yokuthi ekugcineni ubulawe ngumdlavuza. Ngokumangazayo, ukuhlangana okufanayo bekungekho kwabesifazane kusethi yabo yedatha, yize abacwaningi bephakamisa ukuthi kuqhutshekwe nokuhlolwa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi lokho kubambelele.

"Angeke sisho ukuthi esinye sidala esinye," kusho umcwaningi oholayo u-Olivia Remes e-European College of Neuropsychopharmacology Congress (ECNP). "Kungenzeka ukuthi amadoda akhathazekile anezindlela zokuphila noma ezinye izinto ezinobungozi ezandisa ingozi yomdlavuza ebesingawubalanga ngokuphelele." U-Remes ubuye wakhuluma ngesidingo sokuthi abantu abasezikhundleni zokucwaninga amandla, izikhulu zikahulumeni, nodokotela—banake kakhulu izifo zokukhathazeka. "Abantu abaningi bayathinteka ngenxa yokukhathazeka, futhi nemiphumela yayo engaba khona kwezempilo ibalulekile," esho. "Ngalolu cwaningo, sikhombisa ukuthi ukukhathazeka kungaphezu kwesici sobuntu, kodwa kunalokho, kuyisifo esingahle sihlotshaniswe nengozi yokufa ngenxa yezimo, njengomdlavuza." (Okuhlobene: Lokhu Kuvivinywa Okuyinqaba Kungabikezela Ukukhathazeka Nokucindezeleka Ngaphambi Kokuba Ubonise Izimpawu.)

UDavid Nutt, onguprofesa e-Imperial College naye osebenze emtholampilo wase-UK onguchwepheshe bokukhathazeka, uthe imiphumela ayimangazanga. "Usizi olukhulu abahlupheka laba bantu, imvamisa nsuku zonke, luvamise ukuhlotshaniswa nengcindezi enkulu yomzimba ezoba nomthelela omkhulu ezinqubweni eziningi zomzimba, kubandakanya nokugadwa kwamaseli anomdlavuza."

Ngakho-ke ngenkathi imiphumela evelele yalolu cwaningo ikakhulukazi iphathelene nabesilisa, ngokungangabazeki kuyiqiniso ukuthi ukukhathazeka (nokunye ukuphazamiseka kwempilo yengqondo, ngaleyo ndaba) kudinga ukuthathwa ngokungathi sína njengezinkinga ezijwayelekile zempilo yomzimba, futhi. Futhi uma ukhathazekile ngalesi sixhumanisi phakathi kokukhathazeka nomdlavuza, qonda ukuthi ababhali besifundo bayazi ukuthi kungenzeka kube nezinye izinto zokuphila ezithintekayo, ngoba abantu abakhathazeke kakhulu kungenzeka bazenzele imithi ngezinto ezingaba nomthelela engozini yomdlavuza (bheka: ugwayi notshwala). Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi lolu cwaningo oluthile lubheke kuphela kwi-GAD, ngakho-ke asikho isizathu esisheshayo sokukhathazeka uma unolunye uhlobo lokukhathazeka (njengokukhathazeka ebusuku noma ukukhathazeka komphakathi). Impela, ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyadingeka nakanjani, kepha lolu cwaningo luyisinyathelo esiqonde ngqo ekutholeni ukuxhumana phakathi kokucindezeleka, ukukhathazeka, nokugula.
