Anxiety keeps you up at night? Well, get ready to dive deep into this complex topic with us and our esteemed guest, Prof. Ulrike Lüken. She provides an overview of anxiety disorders, its symptoms, triggers, and treatments. We discuss the different types of anxiety disorders, with a special focus on the role of avoidance, which can hinder the learning and mastering of new skills, a crucial insight for students and early career researchers.
We also venture into the area of fear and arousal, the fascinating Yerkes-Dodson law, and the implications of procrastination as an avoidance behaviour. We reflect on the impact of anxiety on academics' work and well-being, the importance of professional help, and the stigma attached to mental health in academia. This episode is full of insights for anyone seeking a better understanding of anxiety in an academic setting.
