Because we are afraid that we escape when necessary to dangers that we can not face: a fire, an armed robber, for example.
Now let's briefly describe most known anxiety attack and depression panic. Anxiety occurs as a result of events clearly identifiable, to helps us cope with them and then disappears at the same time that his cause.
But it happens in some people that anxiety manifests itself in an abnormal way: either because it occurs without reason, or because its intensity and the answers that are involved don't commensurate with the triggering event. This is known as pathological anxiety.
This pathological anxiety can take many aspects of which usually distinguish schematically five main scenes:
- The generalized anxiety disorder;
- The phobias;
- The obsessive-compulsive disorder;
- The panic;
- The post-traumatic stress.
These tables are quite frequent since estimated that 3 to 5% of the population has presented one of them at one time or another of his life.
The multiple causes
The causes of pathological anxiety are poorly understood. It is clear that some people are more prone to anxiety attack and depression panic than the average. We also know that social factors play an important role: hyperanxious parents tend to transmit their own anxieties to their children. Some families where children are neglected or abused are obviously providers of anxiety disorders. The psychological traumas of childhood or adulthood are often a triggering event.
