chronic, peer group, fear, and stress. This paper highlighted types of anxiety disorders,
which range from generalized anxiety to medication-induced anxiety disorder. The
psychological approach to coping with anxiety was discussed according to the
following subheadings: anxiety a state–like, tract and meta-experience, the implication
for coping, multidimensionally of anxiety, the IZOF model as a framework for anxiety–
centred, anxiety content dimension and anxiety intensity dimension, as well as
competition pattern and skill stabilization.
