In psychology, we differentiate between reactions to real disasters and those caused by anxiety disorders.
When faced with actual catastrophes, humans often respond with an acute stress reaction, activating the fight-or-flight mechanism. These responses are situational and usually short-term, focusing on immediate survival strategies.
In contrast, anxiety disorders involve a dysfunctional response to perceived—but not real—threats. The body remains in a heightened state of tension, even when no immediate danger exists. Treatment typically aims to identify and regulate irrational fears through techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and relaxation methods.
