Something I am passionate about is psychology, how the human brain works and how it causes us to act. For this particular assignment I have chosen to focus on how people can deal with anxiety. Coping with anxiety is really important in today’s society because more and more people are feeling it’s negative effects. According to Children.org nearly 1 in 3 of all adolescents ages 13 to 18 will experience an anxiety disorder. Not only that but according to Apa.org only half of the current generation (gen Z) feel like they can properly manage their anxiety. This is troubling because anxiety normally leads to other mental health illnesses, like depression, if not handled correctly. Some easy ways to handle anxiety could be breathing exercises, doing something that calms you down (drawing, exercise, reading) or using coping statements (sentences that help you feel better. Ex: you are not a burden, you are trying your best). Another way to handle your anxiety is to realize your stressor (work, a person, a place) and separate yourself from it for a while. In conclusion it is very important to be educated as well as to educate others on how to properly cope with anxiety because it is negatively effecting more and more people.
