Anxiety is a condition that all of us face at some point in our lives. It typically manifests as some combination of apprehension, nervousness, fear and struggle. This condition dates far back in human existence, as anxious behaviors are believed to be rooted in evolutionary psychology with a goal of increasing action and vigilance when a threat is imminent. Much like the fight, flight or hide behavior, feeling anxious can serve as a protective measure when immediate decisions are necessary for the health and well being of the individual.
