Anxiety Disorders: Mental Illness or a Natural Consequence of Suffering Too Much Pain and Stress

Generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, social phobia, PTSD, panic disorder, severe depression. . .

"Not diseases, disorders or mental illness, anxiety and depression problems involve natural survival instincts common to us all - normal self-protective thoughts, feelings and behaviours that become over-sensitive and intensified, grossly exaggerated and out of control.

They are a natural consequence of experiencing too many (or too severe) stressful, negative life issues and events. . . ones that leave us feeling constantly weak and vulnerable.

In essence, anxiety problems stem from our subconscious trying to protect us when life has made us afraid. And 'disorders' develop, strengthen and grow from our mind's attempts to explain and resolve the intangible fear we feel inside."
