Anxiety Isn’t Good In The Modern World

March 20th, 2009

What causes anxiety? Human development and progress has given us the fight or flight response. This is basically what anxiety is. But what was useful for survival in our distant pasts can cause us lots of trouble in the modern world. If you encountered some dangerous beast, you wanted to be in the peak alert mode to face it or run away.

That doesn’t work so well these days. Most of our fears are not a matter of survival. We fear such things like public speaking but the old fight or flight response mechanism still kicks in. The good news is that people who suffer from anxiety can learn to control it. Programs like panic away have helped many people regain control of their lives.
