Anguish is a very intense state of restlessness and nervousness, produced by something annoying or by the threat of a tragedy or danger. Anguish would then be the reaction that a person has before a traumatic event, when he cannot exercise control over the excitations of internal or external origin.
Sigmund Freud, in his early studies differentiated two types of anxiety: realistic and neurotic anxiety. The first arises when one is in front of a totally real external danger and that supposes an increase of the motor and sensory tension. While the second has no external foundation, does not openly allude to an object or is exaggerated given the objectivity of risk.
Anguish implies a state of accumulated and not released tension. It can originate for various reasons, for example due to the inability to solve certain conflicts or the difficulty in making decisions that implies the renunciation of other options.
Symptoms of distress may be occasional and disappear immediately. It is frequently shown through small mental alterations, which usually appear and increase in a few minutes, presenting the following sensations: palpitations, sweating, crying, sleep disorders, difficulty breathing, fainting, nausea, etc.
