Anxiety - a natural reaction to modern life, with physical and psychological effects. In the short term, this state is the awareness of an intense situation that prepares a person for a specific and significant action, be it a presentation, an interview or a TV appearance. This reaction is triggered by the amygdala - the central element of the fear sensation -through neurotransmitters that drive the electrical impulse to the sympathetic nervous system.
Physical response to an emotional situation can be controlled and overcome, but chronic anxiety has devastating health effects. According to the World Health Organization, 27% of the adult population had at least one series of mental disorders in the last year, representing 83 million people affected. Anxiety can be accompanied by a series of somatic symptoms characterized by pain, nausea, weakness or dizziness without apparent physical cause.
