According to doctors, Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the U.S. age 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population every year”. Anxiety can be a bad thing when it does become a disorder, but in small amounts it can be good. It can be good by warning someone, or reminding them of something. Anxiety is a thing that makes humans, humans, which makes anxiety part of the human condition.There are 2 stories that show great amounts of human condition. One story that displays this is The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, and the other is My Left Foot by Christy Brown. The story My Left Foot is a very interesting story about a boy born with a crippling medical condition. Its an autobiography about how he was born with cerebral palsy and everyone thinks he’s a lost cause. They think that all they should do is feed, clothe and bathe him, then leave him be. The only people that don't think that way is his family. They continue to try with him and in the end he finds out he is able to use his left foot to communicate and do things. On the other hand, the story The Kite Runner is much different. The Kite Runner is about a boy who has a servant who is always with him, almost like a best friend, and in the story he participates in a race with kites. In this game you have to cut the opponents and be the last one standing. When the boys are not participating in the race they run for the kites that get cut and catch them
Particularly in women, extended stress and depression over time may harm one’s mental health, leading to a break point, or a nervous breakdown. Based on the journal entries within Patricia Gillman’s short story written in 1892, “The Yellow Wallpaper”, the patient experienced suicidal thoughts after suffering from depression-like symptoms for months after giving birth to her first child, which included over-sleeping, extreme anxiety, and a reduced ability to think clearly. Subsequently, after the patient ripped off her bedroom wallpaper, she was admitted to be medically treated. Her symptoms account for her diagnosis of postpartum psychosis, as her physician’s misdiagnosis and ignorance further worsened her disorder. On account of being told
To experience any form of anxiety, such as interviews, a drive in traffic, or even a first date is a natural- human experience. For instance, one begins to undergo a feeling of failure regarding specific class. Nevertheless, sometimes, the emotion, keeps us motivated and school work-orientated. Yet, now and then, anxiety can take a hold on one when intense fear and distress becomes too overwhelming; it can prevent one from doing everyday thing. As a result, anxiety disorder can be the cause (B. T. Anxiety Disorders, 2016). According to National Alliance of Mental Illness, known as NAMI (2016), anxiety disorders are a common mental health concern in the United States. Roughly, forty million adults in the United States, and eight percent of children and teenagers face some sort of a negative impact of an anxiety disorder. Consequently, people develop symptoms of anxiety disorder before the age twenty-one.
Emotional intelligence or EQ is as important as intellectual intelligence because it helps a person understand themselves emotionally.

In The Kite Runner the main character, Amir expresses his love for kite fighting. Amir talks about how his father takes him to a shop where this nearly blind old man makes the best kites. I believe the kite in this book symbolizes happiness because although Hassan and Amir had a lot of fun and exciting times to gather they seemed to be there happiest when they were kite fighting. At the very beginning of chapter six in the book Amir talks about winter and how it’s everybody’s favorite season because they shut down school for the icy weather and the kite fighting. All the kids in Kabul loved kite fighting so they prepared and got excited and they loved what they were doing. It’s almost like that kites brought a sense of happiness to the kids

In the Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, recounts a time where Hassan and Amir meet at a pomegranate tree; after Hassan was raped. Hence the reason why Hassan and Amir had tension and their friendship fell in pieces. In this passage, Hosseini uses symbolism and conflict, to portray the theme that nothing will last forever. While sitting near the tree, Amir says, “What would you do if I hit you with this,”(Hosseini, 92). This just seems like a little joke that Amir would say to be funny, but no this is all the anger building up in Amir. Amir’s conflict is with himself because he cannot stand the burden of not helping Hassan. In addition, the pomegranates symbolize Amir’s guilt of leaving Hassan alone in the alley way when Hassan needed him the
The anxiety started when we checked into the hotel. I was in Syracuse with three of my best friends, ready to have a weekend full of exhilaration and laughter.

Perhaps, the overbearing testosterone levels claim responsibility for the apparent need for sons to impress their fathers, but not all boys consider the realistic consequences of their decisions. In Khaled Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner, young Amir's admiration for his father Baba, coupled with the constant tension in their relationship obscures his mind from making clear decisions as he strives to obtain his father's love and approval.
