Neden Ağlayamıyorum? Depresyonun Gizli Belirtilerini Keşfedin

Normal vs. problematic anxiety

Many life experiences can cause anxiety. The feeling of anxiety is usually related to the body’s fight-or-flight response. That response can get triggered in challenging situations such as test-taking, a job interview, or doing something for the first time, such as going on a date. Such anxiety may be beneficial because it can help you stay focused and motivated. You’re likely to work harder on your test or be on alert when out alone at night if you are anxious and alert. While anxiety in small doses may be helpful, it may become a problem when it occurs frequently and at a level of intensity that isn’t equal to the threat at hand.

For example, a person with social anxiety disorder may avoid being around people, even if they know them. Problematic anxiety may include symptoms so intense it can become hard to socialize with people at home and work. A person with excessive worry and anxiety may have generalized anxiety disorder. They may feel anxious about a variety of things for an extended time, or they may experience anxiety for what seems to be no particular reason. They could also experience physical symptoms, such as headaches or stomach aches.
