Anxiety

Anxiety is “fear in-action”. We look at 3 levels of anxiety. Level 1 is a Pang of Anxiety. This is normal. It happens when someone cuts us off when we’re driving to work. It happens when it rains 3 hours before an outdoor wedding. All of us experience pangs of anxiety. Level 2 is the Threat of an Attack. This is a fear of a full blown attack and hence a physiological symptom of that fear e.g. sweaty palms, palpitations, headaches, etc. Level 3 is an Attack of Anxiety or Panic. This is marked by an avoidance of one or more activities which we would normally engage in.
