Professional help is needed when symptoms of stress prevent a person from functioning at school or work or “when the emo tions are controlling the individual instead of the individual controll ing the emotions,” he said. “What might be perceived as stressful to one person may not be to another,” Goswick said. “Stress is an irrational fear or irrational interpretation of the facts. ” High strung, nervous, unstable or sensitive people are more likely to develop anxiety symptoms, he said. “Vague symptoms of weakness, fatigue, headaches and ulcers are common,” he said. At the health center, students with such symptoms are seen by physicians who determine whether the cause is physical ill ness or anxiety. When stress is in volved, it is better to treat the cause rather than the symptom, he said. Goswick said. Learning to cope with stress and learning how to relax are often the best treatments for anxiety. Medications, such as tranquiliz ers, anti-depressants and seda tives are prescribed because “medications can help people to help themselves relax,” he said. More students complain of anxi ety symptoms at the beginning and end of the semester because of added school-related pressures, In addition, the University’s Personal Counseling Service helps students learn to deal with stress by offering professional counseling, therapy and a tape program on learning how to relax.
