Learning about anxiety this week has been such a touching thing and I believe that in one way or another, everyone can feel a personal sense too. I have struggled with anxiety and have been diagnosed with panic disorder and severe anxiety disorder. Everyone in a shape or form has experienced anxiety at some point in their life and people who have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder know the struggle of going through everyday life trying to cope and get things done throughout the day. The topic of anxiety in this chapter reminded me of the last chapter when we read about how different eras have seen and been able to work through the development of mental health over time. For example, back in ancient Greece, a mental "roadblock" was seen as a curse and a sign that you were "shameful", an "alcoholic", etc. The early 1990s is when lobotomies were becoming popular and they are extremely dangerous (which highlights just how the "cures" of mental illness have evolved because lobotomies are thankfully illegal now in the US). During this period, mental hospitals and "wards" were also at an all-time high. If you had any sort of mental thing going on, you were seen as an outcast and sick. Thankfully, over time with research there have become better and SAFER ways to treat things, and society today is a lot more supportive.
