Personality/Anxiety/Mood Disorders Feature Writer: Lisa C. DeLuca

Struggles of personality, mood and anxiety can sometimes be seen as struggles with too much of a good thing.

  • Certain personality traits can make a person stunningly successful in his job but cause conflict in relationships;
  • humans couldn’t survive if anxiety didn’t drive them to protect themselves but too much anxiety can take the joy out of life;
  • deep sensitivity can lead to passionate creative energy, but it can cause overwhelming sadness and loss of all motivation.

A good goal for people is to use the traits that they have in a way that causes good results; and temper those traits if they interfere with a satisfying life.

The categories listed at left contain articles to educate and motivate the millions of people who journey to balance issues of mood, personality or anxiety.
