Anxious people perceive things differently: Study
Individuals suffering from anxiety sometimes cannot harness things, situations or people as they actually are; they start viewing them as they want to see, perceive, or infer. A study, published in the Cell Press journal Current Biology in March 2016, claimed that people with anxiety perceive the world in an entirely different manner. They are not capable of distinguishing between a neutral, “safe” stimulus (in this case the sound of a tone) and the ones that are threatening, for example, some money loss.
