Anxiety - Mental Health Problem Or a Normal STATE OF MIND?
Anxiety can affect the mental health of people and appears to be a big and growing problem under western culture.

First let us ask if feeling anxious a normal state for human beings? The answer here is a definite yes. Anxiety serves to help keep us safe from possible perceived threats that we need to process. It is an early on warning system that tells us we have to observe the environment differently and pay special attention at the very least until we have more information and know how to handle a situation. Very often this early warning system enables us to take appropriate action before an issue gets worse.

What is worrying nowadays is however that the word anxiety now denotes a mental disorder. You merely have to Google in the word anxiety to realise that a lot of people feel it really is something that they have to get over. What's less apparent online is anxiety skills training. It really is almost as if it really is by chance that we learn how to deal with our own anxiety. Few of us learn how to process our anxiety - among the cognitive skills that's sadly lacking from our educational curriculum.

Anxiety is seen on a continuum. At one end anxiety arises if you find a perceived threat that needs processing and at the other end may be the person whose anxiety mechanism has gone out of control which leaves them in circumstances of heightened anxiety more often than not. website of the anxiety continuum has a hugely negative effect on a persons' life.

However there's another continuum. This is the continuum of people's ability to process anxiety and cope with it effectively. At one end may be the person who always is apparently able to stay calm, react appropriately and resolve the anxiety inducing situation. At the other end is the one who is very controlled by the unpleasant feelings and physical symptoms associated with extreme anxiety.

Put into those two situations is the fact that anxiety is taught to us by out society, and certainly as children we are able to develop very negative reactions to anxiety producing situations if that is the behavior we see around us. Throw in for website and our personal environmental experiences as well as perhaps we have a valid case for teaching anxiety appropriate skills as part of our educational system.

This might just go a long way to reducing the incidence of anxiety from becoming a mental medical condition. Worth thinking about!
