What is Anxiety?
Apprehension, dread, and uneasiness are traits of anxiety, a common emotion. It is said to be unpleasant. It is not the same as fear since, unlike anxiety, fear typically does not occur in response to a specific item. Instead, a perceived threat is what causes anxiety. Anxiety is a common daily problem for many people.
Differences exist between anxiety disorders and regular anxiety. They feature excessive anxiety and fear, and behavioural problems are present as well. They comprise the largest subset of mental illnesses worldwide. Anxiety disorders are thought to affect one in five persons at some point in their lives. Individual differences will determine how severe this anxiety condition is and how much it impacts a person’s daily life. Yet it will also change during the course of that person’s life. Some people may occasionally experience modest anxiety symptoms, while other times, these symptoms may worsen. The degree and persistence of symptoms will determine whether or not a person has an anxiety disorder according to a clinical diagnosis.
People occasionally endure panic attacks. In this course, we’ll examine the warning signs and symptoms of anxiety and panic disorders as well as coping mechanisms.
