International Journal of Tryptophan Research

Question: Describe about the International Journal of Tryptophan Research. Answer: It is a well-known fact that stress is one of the most unpleasant experiences encountered by an individual, suffering from an intensely emotional strain that not only affects his inner peace of mind, but can also affect his health adversely. While in most cases, stress is only a temporary state of mind, and does not continue for a prolonged period of time, in a few cases, a stressed mind, suffering from depression over a longer period of time, can lead to panic attack, the suffering of which is not only profound, but is also long-lasting for the victim (Gomaa et al. , 2013) It has been observed that an individual suffering from sporadic panic attacks not only suffer from a feeling of sudden, intense anxiety and fear, but also tends to believe that the time is flowing much slowly, than in the ordinary times. The reason behind such feelings, can be traced to the fact that the individual suffering from panic attack feel incredible drained and tired, as a result of a sense of exhaustion and depression (Jnoda Janova, 2015). Usually, the people getting affected by the disease for the first or second time, have o knowledge about the symptoms of the disease, and fail to adopt the necessary measures to control the same. Consequently, they suffer from hyperventilation, whereby as a result of over-intake of oxygen, and excessive release of carbon-die oxide, the individual starts suffering from an uncontrolled state of anxiety and excitement, that makes them feel that even a single second is equal to more than an hour. Besides, it is equally important to note, tha t the individual suffering from intense stress or panic disorder, tends to concentrate on his mental conflict, inner disorder and the phenomenon occurring inside the head, that leads him to concentrate on the present moment, as a result of which he fails to feels the passage of time like any other normal human being (Essa et al., 2013). The waves of panic attack usually last for not more than an hour, and while the people who have been affected by this mental state of disorder previously, have a much comprehensive knowledge about the transience of the suffering, those who have not been affected by the disease, tend to put too much concentration on the feeling of intense pain, fear and horror experienced in a while. Resultantly, the individual unable to find or focus on any source of distraction or amusement, starts feeling that the present moment of pain will never cease, and will keep to continue. Besides, a person who has been suffering from depression, stress and anxiety over a long period of time, also develop the psychological suffering named paranoia. While suffering from panic attack, an individual already affected by paranoid anxiety will tend to be deluded, that it is impossible for his terrible state of mind to be pacified, and restored to normalcy. This is also the reason why he will believe that the time is flying on a much slower pace (Kumar et al., 2012). It should be remembered that any kind of stress or panic attack is accompanied by shaking, trembling and sweating, and if goes unchecked may lead to disruption of the healthy life. While the accelerated heart rate leads to the feeling that the bad time will never end, one should remain assured that it will not span for more than an hour. In case it is necessary, the individual should resort to mediation and medical attention. Reference List: Essa, M. M., Subash, S., Braidy, N., Al-Adawi, S., Lim, C. K., Manivasagam, T., Guillemin, G.
