What is lamp syndrome
Lamp syndrome is a term derived from the fairy tale 'Aladdin and Magic Lamp', which refers to a phenomenon in which Aladdin is frequently worried, anxious, and tormenting himself about something that is unlikely to happen, just like calling out the fairy genie of a lamp from a magic lamp. A type of anxiety disorder is also called general anxiety disorder, excessive anxiety syndrome, and floating anxiety.
Lamp syndrome is not a formal medical term, but a psychological term that has been used since 2010 to indicate symptoms of general anxiety disorder. General Anxiety Disorder Definition General Anxiety Disorder is a symptom of being in uncontrollable anxiety about various topics in everyday life, and the anxiety psychology does not stay in a specific topic, situation, or object, but constantly worries about a wide range of things throughout life. The core of lamp syndrome is the uncontrollable anxiety and anxiety in everyday life.
Symptoms of lamp syndrome
In our daily lives, we can feel anxiety, such as whether we locked the door at home or turned off the gas. However, it is a natural phenomenon that anxiety sometimes feels on a daily basis. However, if anxiety persists and becomes out of control and daily life becomes difficult, this can be called lamp syndrome. The first symptom of general anxiety disorder is feeling anxious for no reason.
If this anxiety persists, physical symptoms also appear. You may experience a sore tension headache, chest pain, muscle pain, hypersensitivity, decreased concentration, fatigue, hand tremors, numbness in hands and feet, sweating, dizziness, burning thirst, indigestion headache, insomnia, increased heartbeat, busy breathing, frequent urination, diarrhea, etc.
Overcoming Lamp Syndrome
To control worry and anxiety
If your worries increase, as you call out the fairy of the lamp, you need to recognize that your worries are usually exaggerated. Rather than obsessing about anxiety, you should focus on the present and try to adapt well to real life. It is more effective to do other activities, such as taking a walk, than to be obsessed with worry alone. Meditation, abdominal breathing, stretching, muscle relaxation, or raw feeding (measuring heart rate, respiration, brain waves, etc. by attaching sensors to the body) also help relax the body.
It's good to do this method steadily every day, even a little bit. You don't necessarily have to get rid of your worries. Worrying itself is not a disease. Worrying can also prepare you for the future. For example, it is like a student who is about to take an exam is studying harder in advance because he is worried that he may not be able to take the exam. However, if you are anxious, you cannot concentrate and progress even if you are reading a book.
If you try in many ways but can't get out of the swamp of anxiety and anxiety, you may need treatment. I recommend you visit your nearest mental health department for consultation.
