Anxiety
With time, the significance of mental health has been acknowledged. It is now considered as significant as other physical illnesses. Rather, other physical maladies are also investigated from a psychological standpoint. Anxiety is a comparable and extremely significant psychological issue. [1]
Anxiety can be loosely defined as feelings of apprehension or concern about an impending event, which are frequently accompanied by other systemic physiological signs and symptoms.
Anxiety is a typical emotional reaction to threatening situations. Anxiety and dread are not synonymous in specific psychological terms. Fear is a reaction to a genuine and imminent threat. However, anxiety is typically characterized by an irrational dread of something or an event.
Anxiety can also progress pathologically. Some patients can be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. This diagnosis is based on lines that are not entirely distinct. As a diagnostic criterion for a generalized anxiety disorder, a persistent state of anxiety or dread, accompanied by an inability to perform normal day-to-day activities due to uncontrollable anxiety symptoms, is required.
There are a variety of anxiety disorders, and the symptomatology of each type varies. In planning a coping mechanism as a treatment or therapy, it is vital to identify the type.
