Different Therapies And Failure To Launch Anxiety

By Ronald Olson


In many cases, children whom suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and others growing up dealing with depressive disorders suffer from Failure To Launch Anxiety Syndrome. As such, there is often a need for ongoing support when it comes to functional improvement. For, it can often be difficult to leave home or function on a regular basis when suffering from these issues.

In most cases, studies have shown that cognitive treatments are best when dealing with this syndrome. Young adults are often treated for these issues based on improvement of the syndrome. In most cases, a diagnostic manual provides information as to different signs of improvement. While this is the case, there are other issues which need be considered when diagnosing or reviewing these cases.

These issues include whether an individual is feeling happier, has a connection to the real world and can leave home and function in public. In addition, it is essential that if and when doing so, the individual have a clear understanding of the difference between reality and imagination. If so, many can often learn how to take care of personal responsibilities such as taking public transportation, grocery shopping and going to events and medical appointments.

Relationships with friends, lovers and family members is an important aspect of life for these individuals. For, often the more acceptance and love the individual receives, the better. Man of those effected by the syndrome are at important life stages. For example, moving from childhood into teenage years or teenage years into adulthood. In either case, there are a lot of hormonal changes going on in the body whether male or female which can effect the anxiety levels associated with the condition.

Talk therapy is not often enough to keep these individuals on-track on an ongoing basis. In most cases, there will still need to be ongoing therapy. When taking medication, it is important to obtain a review to determine whether or not there may need to be a change based on changes in the level anxiety an individual may be suffering at any given time.

Also, the first time an individual leaves home for the first time after having been housebound, a chaperon is often recommended. For, it can often be overwhelming when stepping back out into public for the first time. Whether going to a grocery, taking a bus or attending an event, a chaperon can often make the experience far more enjoyable for the individual.

Once having left home, if the anxiety becomes debilitating or beyond control, it is important to go back inside as soon as possible. In addition, it is also important to recognize that this is part of a disability and to provide praise for trying while never scolding or punishing the individual for not being able to move forward. For, while some people can eventually reach this point, not all are able to do so.

While the cognitive approach can benefit some, this is not always the case. In many cases, it is a matter of whether or not an individual can resolve attachments associated with the mind which are inhibiting the individual from moving forward. In most cases, when an individual is suffering anxiety due to post traumatic stress disorder or severe mental illness, improvement can be much harder than for others.
