Anxiety Disorder: An anxiety disorder is a mental health disorder characterised by feelings of excessive fear or worry that affect an individual's daily activities. Anxiety disorders differ from normal feelings of anxiety and nervousness, involving excessive anxiety, fear or worry. Anxiety disorders can affect an individual’s job performance, school work and personal relationships.

Muscle spasms: Muscle spasms are sudden, uncontrollable movements of the muscle that can be unpleasant and painful. Muscle spasms can occur when the nerve impulses that regulate muscle action are damaged or disrupted. Symptoms include stiff joints, strange postures, trouble moving, and pain in the affected muscles and joints. Muscle spasms can be triggered by fatigue (weakness), stress, extreme heat or cold, infection, and tight clothing.

Epilepsy/seizures/fits: Epilepsy is a chronic disorder characterised by seizures (fits) episodes. In this condition, a chemical change in the brain cells (neurons) leads to a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain, followed by sudden jerky movements of limbs or a part of the body.

Sedation: Sedation is a state of sleep, relaxation or drowsiness brought on by an external substance such as a drug. Sedation is the alleviation of irritation, anxiety or agitation by administering a sedative drug. It is generally carried out to ease the process of a diagnostic procedure or surgery.

Alcohol withdrawal syndrome: After a period of heavy drinking, someone who stops consuming alcohol may experience symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. The severity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms might vary greatly. Symptoms could appear anywhere between two hours to four days after a person stops drinking. Symptoms include hallucinations, seizures, tremors, nausea, and migraine. Alcohol withdrawal frequently necessitates both medical attention and hospitalisation.
