Episode notes
Anxiety can be categorized into three primary types: delusional anxiety, information-based anxiety, and concern over real threats. Delusional anxiety is driven by a negativity bias that heightens perceived threats while downplaying positive stimuli, exacerbated by social media's influence. Information-based anxiety stems from the unprecedented access to disturbing world events, causing individuals to feel overwhelmed by crises that were previously unknown. The third type involves direct worry about actual or potential negative events. Additionally, everyday anxiety and uncertainty facing individuals also contribute to the overall experience of anxiety. By differentiating these categories, it becomes easier to address and alleviate anxiety while promoting healthy coping mechanisms and resilience.
