    Anxiety
    ■ Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry, or unease. It can be a reaction to
    stress, or it can occur in people who are unable to identify significant
    stressors in their life.

    ■ Common stressors include:


    – Moving
    – Starting a new school or job
    – Worrying about finding a job
    – Feeling nervous before a big test
    – Being embarrassed in certain social situations
    – Having an illness or injury
    – Having a baby
    Fear versus Anxiety
    ■ This distinction between fear and anxiety arose accidentally.
    ■ The main psychological difference between the two emotional responses
    is the suddenness of fear and the insidiousness of anxiety.
    ■ Fear is a similar alerting signal, but should be differentiated from anxiety.
    Fear is a response to a known, external, definite, or nonconflictual
    threat; anxiety is a response to a threat that is unknown, internal, vague,
    or conflictual.
    Autonomic Symptoms
    ■ Headache
    ■ Perspiration
    ■ Palpitations
    ■ Tightness in the chest
    ■ Mild stomach discomfort, and
    ■ Restlessness, indicated by an inability to sit or stand still for
    long.
