The Difference Between Anxiety And Fear
Dr. Phil explains that there’s a difference between anxiety and fear.
“Anxiety is a nervous disorder that’s characterized by excessive uneasiness and apprehension in the absence of realistic threat,” he says. “Fear is a proportionate apprehension to realistic threat.”
Dr. Phil and psychiatrist Dr. Charles Sophy, instead, say they believe Angie’s overuse of the medication Adderall could be causing her to obsess about the alleged affair.
“The problem is when you have an exaggerated reaction when there’s no real threat,” Dr. Phil says to Angie. “You don’t have any real evidence that he’s having an affair, but you’re having a lot of anxiety about it, and you’re paralyzed because you’re on drugs.”
