Document Summary
Helps organize responses to threat, like fight or flight . Anxiety: apprehension about anticipated events, potentiality physiological changes (racing heart beat, sweating, etc) difficult to control thoughts in state of anxiety (hard time to concentrate on what u need to do, keep worrying) Halo effect (impacts how u see past, future, kind of like a filter) W/out exceptionality becomes problematic (can sometimes be a good thing, ex anxious about upcoming test so u want to study) But not always helpful, can prevent u to doing daily things. Emerged as distinct group of disorders in dsm-iii. Wasn"t viewed as a separate disorder, previously part of neuroses (emotional disturbance w/ awareness) Ex what a doctor determines as an appropriate amount of distress might not be in line of your past experience; context. Splitting movement has divided anxiety disorder, share core symptoms. Asylums primarily housed psychotic ppl and those deemed too dangerous to remain in community; anxiety didn"t really fit into that equation.
