This is certainly the age of anxiety. Many people
have problems related to anxiety, caused by the rampant
stress in their lives. Anxiety is one of the most pervasive mind states psychiatrists encounter.
From time to time, in even the hardiest of us, feelings of fear surface. They may be about
losing someone or losing something or about feeling pain or being alone
or being sick or disabled, or about someone you love being hurt.
We may have fears of failure or fears of success, fears of
letting other people down or about the fate of the earth.
Most of us carry such fears within us. They are always present but they only
surface under certain circumstances.
