Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The textbook discusses how anxiety can be a normal and adaptive response in many situations, such as when facing danger or making important decisions. It also notes that anxiety disorders involve an excessive and persistent experience of anxiety that can interfere with daily life, but experiencing anxiety in general is not necessarily indicative of a mental health issue. The other options (A and C) are both incorrect as panic attacks are not always accompanied by a fear of dying, and posttraumatic stress disorder typically takes several weeks to develop after a trauma. Option D is also incorrect as panic attacks can occur in mentally healthy individuals.
