The psychoanalytic perspective of anxiety disorder
Sigmund Freud's ideas is, we are born with aggressive and sexual instinct, and Freud suggested the structure of personality included the Id, Ego, and Superego. Human personality emerges due to the conflict between our aggressive and pleasure seeking biological impulses (represented by the id) and the internalized social restraints (which represented by the superego) to against the impulses.
Psychoanalytic theory emphasized the childhood experience may influence our unconscious. Sigmund Freud believed that all children experience some degree of anxiety as part of growing up, and all use ego defense mechanism to help control such anxiety.
Freud believed, we feel anxiety is because the threaten come from one or more object or situation, may cause us external danger or expected injury, and today, we call this kind of fear is Phobia. For example some people afraid of sneak, they will feel anxiety when see sneak is around them.
Secondly, Freud also suggested, anxiety occurs when unconscious sexual or aggressive tendencies conflict with physical or moral limitations. Freud called this the moral anxiety, means the threat is not from the outer, physical world, but rather from the internalized social world of the superego. For example, we are feeling shame, guilt and the fear of being punishment.
The third cause of anxiety is, when we will afraid that we lose of control, lose of temper or rationality. Freud named this the neurotic anxiety is, means the fear of being overwhelmed by impulses from the id.
