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

In the poem “Fear and Fame by Philip Levine, readers gain insight into the struggles of a blue collar worker. The intimate description of the worker highlights the dangerous and monotonous work he performed but also accentuates the pride of the blue collar worker. Levine’s use of meter and rhythm, irony, figurative language, and tone provide an understanding of the difficulties faced by blue collar workers.

Anxiety: The inward fear of a pending danger which is associated with phobia, and could be exhibited physiologically (Increased; Blood Pressure, Respiratory rate) and/or psychologically (agitation, insomnia, confusion). As humans, we suffer mild anxiety once awhile when we encounter a stressor and that does not require any attention but it becomes a problem when it turns chronic.

The definition of anxiety are a group of mental illness that cause people to feel excessively frightened, distressed, or uneasy. If it’s not treated within a person, it can lead to an affect on daily activities such as shopping, or going outside can be extremely difficult. In the past,

Anxiety is losing yourself from reality and being disconnected from the present moment,other people, and yourself. It can keep you from doing things you want to accomplish in life. Achieving your goals is tough enough, but if you suffer from anxiety it becomes even more difficult. I was spending every day worried about how

Anxiety, or anguish as Sartre calls it, is a mood that causes a person to experience awareness of their own freedom and responsibility. Feeling anxious is an innate quality that every person is born with and it is constantly present, but it must be provoked in order to experience it. Humans have total freedom in what they choose to do and the only constraints are within those making the decisions In order to continue to be allowed to make choices freely, you need to be responsible for your own actions. Sartre says, “It is anguish pure and simple, of the kind experienced by all who have borne responsibilities” (Existentialism is a Humanism, pg. 27). Becoming conscious of one’s freedom and responsibility allows people to become more independent with their decision making and be more open to the possibilities. Sartre uses two examples regarding Vertigo and a gambler to best illustrate the concept of anxiety.

Anxiety has been around for many years due to stress levels being too high or events that have happened in the past, but does anyone realize that it is a serious thing and can hurt someone mentally? While researching different academic articles about anxiety and other types of mental illness. I found a few academic journals who describe other people’s lives with anxiety and other mental illnesses. Mary Shelly author of her famous book “Frankenstein” is about Victor Frankenstein who created a monster and got very ill when he saw the beast breathe. Later, he started to neglect the beast and the monster started killing Victor’s loved ones because Victor abandoned the monster. I chose to write about mental illnesses and anxiety because. Victor Frankenstein suffers from a mental illness known as anxiety caused by the monster and events caused by him.

Anxiety can generate a chronic stress response. However the frequent experience of worry or fear, and the wish to avoid these negative feelings, distinguishes anxiety from day to day stress. Anxiety is reinforced though experiential avoidance, the attempt to avoid any experiences (thought, feels, sensations or situations that might

People experience anxiety at various times in their lifespan. Fear, doubt, excessive worry and apprehensiveness characterise the negative emotional aspects of anxiety. Anxiety episodes often produce both mental and physical symptoms.

What is Anxiety? As defined by Understanding Psychology by Glencoe, Anxiety is a general state of dread or uneasiness that a person feels in response to a real or imagined danger. Anxiety affects 19 million Americans annually and anxiety disorder happens to be the most common mental illness in America. There are many different types of anxiety disorder such as: Panic Disorder, Obsessive – Compulsion Disorder, Phobias, and a few more. Although there is no cure for anxiety disorders, there are treatments to reduce symptoms.

It is rather an ontological characteristic of man, rooted in his very existence" (1950, pg. 50) “Anxiety is the apprehension cued off by a threat to some values that the individual holds essential to his or her existence as a person” (Fujikawa, 2014). Anxiety can be felt in two different ways, normal anxiety and neurotic anxiety. Normal anxiety is “a reaction which is proportionate to the threat, does not involve repression, can be confronted constructively on the conscious level” (Fujikawa, 2014). Neurotic Anxiety is similar, but is “a reaction that is disproportionate to the threat, involves repression and other forms of intrapsychic conflict, and is managed by various kinds of blocking off of activity and awareness” (Fujikawa,

In spite, anxiety is distress of mind. That is telling you that some character can go crazy over fear. That's pretty befouled if you consider it, a guy going nuts because his own head is screwing with him. Anxiety is unhealthy for the human mind.

Anxiety is termed as a number of complicated negative thoughts such as fear, worryness, and apprehension. Individuals are capable to sense and feel the presence of anxiety in numerous situations connected to their culture and community. In addition, scholars attempted to find out the nature of anxiety from different perspectives. Spielberger and Rickman (1990) read about anxiety, depending on the famous psychologist Sigmund Freud, saying that anxiety is a nasty sensational state that is followed by the worriness and apprehension. However, too many authors have studied anxiety in regard to psychological or personal theory to learning and perceiving (Spielberg, 1966 a).in the beginning of the 1960s, the two ideas which are the state of being anxious and trait, were introduced by the two authors (ahell and scheier 1961) . The features of the anxiety condition are closely

According to this the central concept is that person experiences feelings of living in a purposeless universe. Anxiety is their response to the perceived void in existence and meaning. Such existence concerns may have increased since the development of nuclear weapons and bioterrorism.

Anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness and apprehension, usually about a situation with uncertain outcomes (Spielberger, 1983). The most established theories about anxiety include the state and trait anxiety (Scheier,1960; Spielberger et al. ,1970; Spielberger,1983), general and specific anxiety(Endler,1975;MacIntyre and Gardner,1991a), facilitating and debilitating anxiety(Alpert and Habert, 1960; Scovel, 1978), and unitary and multidimensional distinctions.(Tryon,1980; Smith and Smoll ,1990).
