Anxiety

Answer 1

• Anxiety is a state where a person may feel that something is wrong and will experience symptoms like palpitation, rapid heart rate, sweaty palms, and dry throat. 
• Two types of anxiety in Freud’s theory are: 
• Neurotic anxiety: Here, id and ego are in conflict with each other 
• Moral anxiety: Here, the superego and ego are in conflict with each other

For your understanding

• Neurotic anxiety comes from the unconscious fear that the basic impulses of the id will take control of the person, leading to eventual punishment from expressing the id’s desires. 
• Moral anxiety comes from the superego. It appears in the form of fear of violating moral codes or values, leading to feelings of guilt and shame.
