  Anxiety disorders, which include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder/agoraphobia and social anxiety disorder, are the most common psychiatric disorder diagnosed (Bandelow et al., 2017). Anxiety disorders are also considered to have a “high burden of illness” and are undertreated as well as underrecognized in the doctor office setting (Bandelow et al., para. 2, 2017). Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a chronic psychiatric illness that typically begins in adolescence or when someone is a young adult and continues throughout their entire life (Bandelow et al., 2017). Left untreated, GAD can lead to other psychiatric conditions, such as major depressive disorder (Bandelow et al., 2017). 
          The treatment of GAD involves both pharmacotherapy as well as psychotherapy in order to be successful (Bandelow et al., 2017). The first line treatment of GAD from a medication standpoint is SSRIs, SNRIs and buspirone (Bandelow et al., 2017). The second line treatment of GAD includes the class of medication known as benzodiazepines (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021). It is important to understand that relief of anxiety when using a benzodiazepine has a very quick onset of relief, but this category of drugs is only recommended for short-term as it is highly addictive (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021). Common benzodiazepines used for GAD include alprazolam, chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, lorazepam, and clonazepam (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021); common SSRIs used to treat GAD are escitalopram and paroxetine (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021); common SNRIs/other medications used to treat GAD include buspirone, duloxetine and venlafaxine (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021). “Venlafaxine, an SNRI, was the first antidepressant approved for GAD” (Rosenthal Burchum, pg. 244, 2021). The only type of SSRIs currently approved for treatment of GAD are escitalopram and paroxetine (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021); however, these medications are not as well-tolerated as the class of benzodiazepines (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021). Treatment for long-term management of GAD should be managed with antidepressants and buspirone (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021). “Compared with benzodiazepines, the antidepressants do a better job of decreasing cognitive and psychic symptoms of anxiety but are not as good at decreasing somatic symptoms” (Rosenthal Burchum, pg. 243, 2021). 
          It is important to realize that pharmacological treatment of GAD should go along with nondrug therapy to have success in treating the patient’s anxiety (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021). Patients with mild GAD can have success in nondrug treatment alone, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation training and supportive therapy (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021). “Because GAD is a chronic disorder, initial drug therapy should be prolonged, lasting at least 12 months and possibly longer” (Rosenthal Burchum, pg. 243, 2021).  
          A patient’s individual pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics play into how pharmacological treatment works or doesn’t work. Age, gender, mental health history and genetics all can affect the anxiolytic medications used to treat GAD (Hoffman, 2021). As GAD occurs throughout the lifetime and is a chronic disease, aging affects the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of each individual (Hoffman, 2021). As we age, our body changes and these changes can affect the way medications are absorbed and metabolized (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2019). Anxiety is common in the elderly population and this population tends to be on multiple medications for different medical conditions, which allows for multiple potential drug-interactions (Crocco et al., 2017).  
          Another interesting fact I found when researching GAD was the discovery of CYP450, which is a pharmacokinetic gene related to generalized anxiety disorder (Hoffman, 2021). “The selection of a specific SSRI can be customized to an individual patient based on the drug’s side effect profile and drug-to-drug interactions but should be equally evaluated for potential pharmacokinetic gene-drug interactions” (Hoffman, para. 4, 2021). This research has found that there are many variants in the CYP450 genes that can help providers make informed decisions when prescribing medications for GAD based on that individual’s drug metabolism profile (Hoffman, 2021).  
          Patients with GAD, such as those with other psychiatric conditions, require a personalized care plan that is individualized to their specific needs and pharmacodynamics (Strawn et al., 2018). Personalized care plans are used to individualize treatment, specific to the patient’s lifestyle, genetics, other medical conditions and gender to name a few; personalized care plans have the best success rate for the patient and encourage medication compliance (Strawn et al., 2018).

I personally have dealt with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).  I was diagnosed 6 years ago.  I’m currently taking Celexa which is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) and have found this medication helpful, but I feel at my best when I do other non-pharmacological interventions along with taking medication.  According to Sheffler 2021 SSRIs block reuptake and enhance and prolong serotonergic neurotransmission causing an increase in serotonin within the brain. Serotonin is a chemical neurotransmitter within the brain that carries signals to the neurons.  Slowing the re-absorption of serotonin helps to lower anxiety and regulate mood (Sheffler, 2021). 2 APA refrences
The recommended first line of treatment for GAD is the medication Effexor which is considered a Serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021).  Not only does Effexor increase serotonin, but it also increases norepinephrine, and dopamine by blocking their transport and blocking the reuptake of these neurotransmitters, increasing the stimulation of postsynaptic receptors (Singh, 2021). 
It is also recommended that combined pharmacological therapy and non-pharmacological interventions together create the best outcomes for patients with GAD (Rosenthal Burchum, 2021).  I personally have been trying to incorporate mindfulness, which my therapist recommended.  It has been found that the practice of mindfulness is an effective tool to lower and treat anxiety (Hoge et al., 2017). 2APA refrences

Howard College Discussion Question: What are the most pressing political and/or security issues in Asia? Please be specific.

Culture plays an important role throughout Asia. The region encompasses many diverse societies that are all unique. The many of the countries in the region have also seen dramatic economic growth as a result of globalization. Asia also has significant contemporary security issues with implications for both U.S. and international security. Specific examples include a growing and militarizing China, North Korean nuclear proliferation, and a remilitarizing and increasingly nationalist Japan.Required Lesson Material: Video. “The Miracle of Asia: Singapore Documentary.” YouTube. Watch all. In this short video, James Wiffen explores the dramatic rise of Singapore in southeast Asia. He traces the historical context of British rule, post-World War II Japanese control, and Singapore’s independence achieved in 1959. Students should pay particular attention to how modernization has impacted some countries in Asia (such as Singapore) more beneficially than some other regions that we have studied thus far in the course.Required Lesson Material: Mark E. Manyin et al. “Pivot to the Pacific? The Obama Administration’s ‘Rebalancing’ Toward Asia.” Congressional Research Service. 28 March 2012. Read all.In this non-partisan report for current members of the U.S. Congress, Mark E. Manyin and his team of experts analyze the Obama Administration’s “pivot” to Asia that encapsulates current U.S. foreign policy. They examine the background to contemporary U.S. policy toward Asia, areas of continuity, areas of change, as well as the benefits, costs, and risks of such a plan. Students should pay particular attention to the strategic, diplomatic, and economic dynamics at work in Asia and how these relate to U.S. and international security. The authors note that “In the fall of 2011, the Obama Administration issued a series of announcements indicating that the United States would be expanding and intensifying its already significant role in the Asia- Pacific, particularly in the southern part of the region. The fundamental goal underpinning the shift is to devote more effort to influencing the development of the Asia-Pacific’s norms and rules, particularly as China emerges as an ever-more influential regional power. Given that one purpose of the “pivot” or “rebalancing” toward the Asia-Pacific is to deepen U.S. credibility in the region at a time of fiscal constraint, Congress’s oversight and appropriations roles, as well asits approval authority over free trade agreements, will help determine to what extent the Administration’s plans are implemented and how various trade-offs are managed.”II. Politics in AsiaRequired Lesson Material: B. S. Agarwal. “Korea as an Epicentre of Northeast Asian Power Politics: A Historical and Geopolitical Perspective.” Indian Journal of Political Science, vol. 67, no. 2 (2006): 261–278. Read all.In this article, B. S. Agarwal explores Korea’s political role in Asia. The author highlights the important role of geography and culture in this dynamic and relates Korea’s politics to other countries throughout the region. The author notes that “Presently, Korea and China are in a grip of an unprecedented historical quarrel over the origin of an ancient Kingdom of Koguryeo. Both of them claim their ancestral linkages with it.84 As mentioned in the beginning of this paper, there was enormous intermingling of various tribes and clans living in the Korean peninsula and the adjoining areas of Manchuria, Mongolia, Siberia, etc., in the past ages. A complex structure of alliances and counter alliances among them also existed at that time.85 Therefore, it is very difficult to decide who belonged to whom. There is no sense in digging into extremely remote history of Northeast Asia. Even if it were proved that Koguryeo belonged either to Korea or to China, it would not serve any purpose. It would only create heated arguments and counter arguments between the scholars of two nations.86 In view of a long history of cordial relations between Korea and China, and for the sake of good will among the northeast Asian nations, it would be better for both of them to stop wrangling over this futile controversy.”Required Lesson Material: Kongdan Oh. “Understanding North Korea.” Brookings Institute. Read all.Politics in Asia are often quite unique. Nowhere is that dynamic more readily apparent than North Korea. In this short article, Kongdan Oh explores North Korea and illuminates the political dynamics of the ruling regime. He argues that “North Korea today is not one republic but two: A “Pyongyang Republic” and a “Republic of Everyone Else.” The distinction is both geographical and political. The capital city Pyongyang is clean, orderly, and modestly prosperous. Pyongyangites, most of them Party members, dress better than they used to, buy food at restaurants and street-side stalls, and talk on their cell phones. Foreign visitors, expecting to see a land of starving people, are impressed. The regime has the power to make the city—or the most visible parts of the city—to its own specifications. After all, there is no private enterprise to interfere with government plans. Kim Jong-un and the top elites live even better than the other citizens of Pyongyang. No matter how many economic sanctions are placed on North Korea, there always seems to be enough money to support the political elites, with plenty left over for nuclear weapons and missiles.”

Greeks, Hindu, and Cuban have different beliefs regarding cultural and health care beliefs. Comparing their cultures helps to distinguish the health care believes and cultural practices of the communities. The Greeks and the Hindu seem to have a significant influence on the Cuban peoples cultural beliefs in terms of health care. The culture of Cuban people relies on the cultural practices of Greek and Hindu when seeking health care services (Purnell, 2013). Cuban go for biomedical care to handle organic diseases, which help them to be in a better part as opposed to the Greek and Hindu who have little trust in the health care providers. The comparison of the three cultures shows that Greek and Hindu rarely trust in health care professionals from other communities while Cuban have in trust in biomedical care.
The majority of the Greeks ignore various healthcare standards, and they have their way of promoting health care practices. Greeks have numerous health care means of preventing pregnancies by use pills for controlling birth and condoms (Purnell Fenkl, 2019). They believe that engagement in abortion affects individuals health status and even endangering the lives of mothers. Some communities among the Greeks have biomedical means ahs education level that prevents them from adapting to other health care practices. Hindu has different cultural beliefs when it comes to health care practices. They believe that conducting physical examination traumatizes women due to the various processes involved in providing health care services that yield expected results. The Hindu believes that different types of suffering due to illness bring hope to the community members, which are necessary for their lives (Mendoza Lopez, 2017). Most of the three cultures beliefs are influenced by their different cultural practices tied to their rituals.
When comparing the level in which each community seeks help from other cultures, Greeks rarely trust healthcare professionals, and the same applies to the Hindu. Hindu relies mostly on the community and family to find solutions for health care problems. Cubans also rely on their families for advice on matters regarding their health, which helps them to be better than their counterparts (Purnell, 2013). Cubans seem to have been influenced by other cultures, which show that they can copy different beliefs in health care. Hindus believe that traditional health systems emphasize illness prevention; hence members of the society develop their unique perspective of creating awareness of their needs. Their practice makes it easier for them to meet their health demands. The Hindu practice of disease prevention has influenced the Cubans who believe profoundly in preventing diseases than treatment (Rausenberger, 2018). The Hindus also use traditional healers to enhance outcomes of their health hence making them better in society.  That practice has also influenced Cubans who seek traditional healers to improve outcomes of their health, such as applying traditional herbs in tea. Cubans have shops specifically for selling traditional herbs in which were adapted from Greeks and Hindus cultures.
Greeks have a cultural belief of accepting the donation of organs, which is also practiced by the Hindu, who is famous for organ transplantation, especially the kidney. The majority of people in Greek and Hindu communities are involved in the practices of donating organs through medical procedures (Purnell, 2013). The Cubans also accept donation and transplant of organs and blood transfusions a practice they adopted from the Hindu and Greeks. Hindus believe that treatment and rituals performance can be used to enhance health outcomes for various people in society. Cubans have copied the practice as they perform rituals to improve the health outcomes of various society members. The cultural heritage of Hindu and Greeks is the same. Different people in their cultures are involved in different cultural practices, such as engaging in folk remedies (Purnell, 2013). The ritual practices are performed by various people at home to provide prevention against different diseases. The rituals performed by Hindus and Greeks at home help to improve the health outcomes of various people. The same practice has been seen in the Cuban heritage due to the influence of Greek and Hindu. Cubans perform folk remedies where Santeria improves the health outcomes of various people in Cuban society (Rausenberger, 2018).
In conclusion, different communities and different cultural beliefs regarding health care practices in which some end up being influenced by the communities they interact with. Cubans have been greatly influenced by the health care practices by the Greeks and Hindus. Most of their practices are adapted from Greek and Hindu. The practice of blood transfusion and organ transplant by Cuban is adapted from Greek and Hindu as they highly accept the practice. Greeks and Hindu rarely trust health professionals, making them rely on their traditional practices tied to their rituals. Cubans have also adapted the use of traditional medicine through the use of herbs. Various people in Cuban society have opened shops that deal with traditional herbs, a practice copied from Greek and Hindu. The health care practices among Cubans seem to have been copied from Greek and Hindu.
