JAKARTA - Sometimes feelings of anxiety come up when doing something. Mental health practitioner who is also a psychologist Yudha Heka Satria says that anxiety is a normal feeling for every human being because anxiety is an alarm on the human body. "Axiousness is usually associated with negative things, whereas positively anxiety serves as an alarm of the body that works as an alarm so that we are careful," Yudha said as quoted from ANTARA, Saturday, May 27. He said the feeling of anxiety works like an alarm so that someone is careful and knows how to deal with it like anxiety just before job interviews, or anxiety because of other things. Meanwhile, if humans do not experience anxiety when doing things that make them uncomfortable, he said, then this situation is an unnatural thing.

He explained that anxiety is a feeling that exists in humans because basically, anxiety is based on two factors, namely nature (natural) and structure (construction). "For example, if we have parents who like to worry or are insecure, it will indirectly reduce their talents to us through genetics. This is what is meant by nature," said the psychologist from Denpasar, Bali.

Kemudian, lanjutnya, contoh yang nurture adalah tempat dimana seseorang itu dibesarkan. Jika terdapat banyak orang yang memiliki kecemasan tinggi di lingkungan tersebut, maka ada kemungkinan seseorang itu juga ikut memiliki kecemasan yang tinggi.Selain itu, cemas juga dapat ditimbulkan dari reaksi tubuh manusia terhadap situasi tertentu seperti kabar buruk dan kondisi fisik yang sedang tidak baik."Seperti halnya pada orang yang memiliki penyakit kronis, umumnya mereka merasa cemas karena kondisi fisiknya," katanya.

He suggested not to drag on in anxiety, because anxiety is a natural thing and exists in everyone. "In order to continue to control emotions and focus on the initial goal so that anxiety disappears immediately," said Yudha Heka Satria.
