It also helps with being able to understand others and manipulate them for your gain, to get their trust and friendship to form healthy relationships.

There are three different theories that are used when talking about how we react to stress through the physiological aspect or the psychological aspect. The first is part of the physiological aspect of stress called the Cannon Fight or Flight theory which was proposed in 1914. Fight or Flight response is a physiological stress response that evolved to help organisms to survive immediate danger. The theory states that when an organism, human being or animal, faces imminent danger (acute stressor) the body arouses quickly and is ready to act via two different systems. They are the sympathetic nervous system and the endocrine system. The sympathetic nervous system stimulates the adrenal medulla which is part of the endocrine system and is the region that produces the hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline. These hormones increase heart rate, blood flow, and glucose levels to prepare the body for an emergency. This response from the body suggests that the body knows how to protect itself and reach homeostasis. These two systems work together to either fight against the danger or flight away from the danger. Lord, King and Pfister in 1976 studied the Fight or Flight response in animals through a very unethical study. They administered chemicals on male hooded Wistar rats which inhibited the neurotransmitters from functioning normally. This made it very difficult for the rats to escape an electric shock. The results of the study suggest that the Flight or Fight response

Anxiety happens to everyone, at some point in time. In fact, a little anxiety can actually be good for you. It can help you respond appropriately to danger, and it can motivate you to excel at work and home. (www.mayoclinic.com) However, when anxiety becomes so strong that it affects your daily

Anxiety is defined as the body’s natural response to danger, an automatic alarm that goes off when you feel threatened, under pressure, or are facing a stressful situation. A little bit of anxiety can actually help a person stay attentive and on track. If we did not feel a certain level of pressure at a job or school, then perhaps we wouldn’t care about it as much. We might slack or leave a few loose ends that may cause us to fall behind. A little bit is actually beneficial, but unfortunately there are people who have to deal with anxiety as part of a mental illness or disorder. There are different types of anxiety which include: general anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and social phobia.

Everyone experiences some form of anxiety within their life. Anxiety is highly individualized; meaning that each person who experiences

In Prospero 's case in Masque of the Red Death Prince Prospero, was faced with the threat of survival, surviving the Red Death, a plague sweeping his kingdom killing all it comes into contact with. To produce the fight-or-flight response, the hypothalamus activates two systems: the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal-cortical system. The sympathetic nervous system uses nerve pathways to initiate reactions in the body, and the adrenal-cortical system uses the bloodstream. The combined effects of these two systems are the fight-or-flight response.When the hypothalamus tells the sympathetic nervous system to kick into gear, the overall effect is that the body speeds up, tenses up and becomes generally very alert. If there 's a burglar at the door, you 're going to have to take action fast. The sympathetic nervous system sends out impulses to glands and smooth muscles and tells the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine and norepinephrine into the bloodstream. These "stress hormones" cause several changes in the body, including an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.At the same time, the hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing factor into the pituitary gland, activating the adrenal-cortical system. The pituitary gland secretes the hormone ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). ACTH moves through the bloodstream and ultimately arrives at the adrenal cortex, where it activates the release of approximately thirty different

A Psychology disorder known as anxiety disorder, is the most common in the United States. In a result of, 18% of 40 million people suffers from anxiety. However, there are six different types of anxiety disorders in the results of stress, depression, social interaction, obsessive compulsive, and phobia.

Anxiety is a normal part of the human process that involves a reaction to adverse reaction

     Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps some one deal with a tense situation in the office, study harder for an exam, keep focused on an important speech. In general, it helps some one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder.

Do you experience test anxiety (or do you know someone who does)? How does the anxiety manifest itself (physically, behaviorally, effectively)? I have never experienced test anxiety but I do know someone who has. A colleague of mine, attended a university where he was the only minority in his classes. My colleague was Black and the majority of his classmates were White. During his first semester, he experienced a cultural shock and felt out of place. My friend told me that his classmates and professors were nice and that he wasn’t treated unfairly or differently. However, due to the social and racial history of the U.S., my colleague went into every class believing that he had something to prove. I believe that the stereotypes of African Americans affected him greatly and he strove to prove them wrong. This burden that he carried, no one else in his classroom shared, (which is understandable because race affects those directly impacted by it more than those indirectly affected), caused him to have tremendous stress. Physically, my friend was always stressed out and tired. My colleague rarely got enough sleep which directly impacted his academic performance. My friend’s behavior changed as well. Previously, my friend had been easy going and gregarious but now he appeared agitated. Although he received passing marks on his test, he wasn’t performing at the level he should have. According to Katherine Ryan and Allison Ryan (Woolfolk, 2013, p. 247), the fear of confirming a

Hanna was referred by her GP, because she has been experiencing some anxiety difficulties. Client reports that she began to have anxiety five or six years ago. Reportedly, she recently moved out of her parents’ home and this may have caused the anxiety to escalate. This is the first time client has moved away from her parents.

Imagine suddenly being in a dark room with no doors, vents, or openings. Oxygen slowly dwindling away as it gets harder to breathe and you begin to get light-headed. It’s only in your mind, though. Similar to that of someone who suffers from anxiety. Anxiety is invisible to others, but to the person affected there is a constantly struggle and worry that we might suddenly transport in to this oxygen-less room. Anxiety differs from person to person, but for me it was a spontaneous and seemingly random attack. I knew nothing was physically wrong, but that didn’t stop my throat from feeling like it was constricting, which in turn caused me to panic more and sometimes hyperventilate. I suffered from this “imaginary” health issue

“Everyone is anxious. It is something we all deal with.” That statement is not true. How can one know whether or not it is true? Look at the lives of fellow humans and get to know them, and maybe you would believe still that all struggle with anxiety. However, when spending just a few days or maybe weeks with a Christian, one can know definitively that it is not the case that all people struggle with anxiety. In studying the lives of Christians, the fact is clear that the vast majority of them are truly fearless with it comes to the future. They care not what the morrow brings; in fact, they care not if the morrow even comes! They are facing persecution that the world has never seen before. They are facing persecution that is truly unknown

Two major things that increase the risk of anxiety in employees are urgent presentations and shorter deadlines. It can even lead to depression if care is not taken. It's pretty obvious that you won't be able to perform as you ought to when under stress and pretty bad.

Feelings of anxiety are relatively normal especially when a person is under stress. Stress is also quite a normal occurrence in the workplace: strict regulations, difficult bosses, tough deadlines, continuous overtime, and overloading. It is not surprising that some employees develop anxiety and anxiety disorders. Stress and anxiety may be further exacerbated if the job requires handling of customers in settings like call centers. Ironically, it has been noticed that most employees who suffer from panic and anxiety disorder (PAD) are perfectionists, model employees in the company. Usually, these types of people pay strong attention to details, show extraordinary commitment to their jobs, and manifest a high degree of selflessness. An employee having sudden attacks of anxiety would display the following symptoms: difficulty in breathing, trembling, sweating, rapid heartbeat, nausea, and numbness. A common complaint during an attack is verbalized fear of having an impending heart attack. Sometimes, an employee escapes to a place where he feels safe whenever feelings of panic overwhelm him. The root of the problem is said to be the employee 's feelings of distrust. Therefore, education about the condition and communication in good faith are both needed to resolve the problem. Lack of faith on either side might harm the business relationship. Luckily, PAD can be treated using a variety of methods. An immediate solution to anxiety and panic attacks is the relaxation techniques.
