Do you suffer from Phobias Panic Attacks? Firstly, it is important to establish the difference between anxiety and fear. These terms are used interchangeably but they are quite distinct. Anxiety is a vague feeling of impending doom precipitated by either an internal or external stimuli. Fear, on the other hand, is terror felt from an identifiable external stimulus which poses as a genuine threat to the person. For example, the feeling that somebody “might” be following you without having actually seeing somebody is anxiety. On the other hand, the feeling from being followed by an individual carrying a gun is fear.
Anxiety is positive in that it serves as a motivator for the person to do better. For example, the anxiety of failing the final exam is beneficial as it prompts you to study hard and prepare to avoid failure. Having said that, anxiety for some people can be serious and exaggerated to a point where the quality of life is lowered, preventing him or her from performing day-to-day activities in life. This is true in the case of panic attacks wherein the person experiences stress and panic levels to the level where all body processes go awry. Despite the stated distinction of anxiety and fear, quite a few people with anxiety disorders have accompanying phobias panic attacks, which is referred to as actual but illogical, intense, and persistent fear of a specific thing.
