Anxiety: a natural reaction to life
An Integral Part of Life
Anxiety is also an integral part of life and a good defense mechanism inherited through our genes. It’s okay to be afraid sometimes. Fear helps us in many life situations.
The boundaries of healthy anxiety
Anxiety becomes a problem when it prevents us from performing mental and physical tasks in normal life circumstances where there is no real threat to our life. Common sense tells us that anxiety in these situations is excessive, but we cannot easily get rid of it.
Avoidance and seeking help
We often start avoiding situations where anxiety occurs, and it is necessary to seek help when anxiety becomes a reason for social isolation and starts interfering with normal functioning.
