Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There are two types of anxiety: the everyday feeling of worry or uneasiness, and phobias or other similar conditions. In this chapter, we'll talk about both of these types. #2 Anxiety is a feeling of worry that something bad is going to happen. It is difficult to identify a cause or reason for your anxiety, and it is just a feeling that things aren't right.
You may have experienced traumatic events in your childhood, disappointments, or other troubles. #3 Anxiety is a feeling of worry, fear, or nervousness. It is different from fear, which is a response to negative stimuli. Everyday anxiety is the free-floating feeling that something is wrong with the world or your life. It can cause sleeplessness, lack of appetite, overeating, low-grade depression, and a variety of physical ailments. #4 There are a number of diagnosed anxiety disorders.
These disorders are a more serious form of anxiety that often require medical treatment. They include panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, phobias, and generalized anxiety disorder.
