🌿 Where Did Anxiety Really Begin? The Ancient Roots and the Biblical Truth By Coach Mel | Fostering the Inner Child
By: Melania Macias Published on: 04/11/2025New Blog Post Description: From ancient philosophers to modern science, anxiety has always puzzled humanity. As far back as 45 B.C., Cicero, Plato, and Hippocrates sought to understand fear and inner unrest. Hippocrates believed sadness and fear came from an imbalance in the body, while Kierkegaard, the first to write a book on anxiety, saw it as a spiritual condition rooted in humanity’s separation from God. Over time, the focus shifted from faith to psychology, with thinkers like Freud and Jung defining anxiety as a mental or emotional disorder. Today, science confirms what Scripture and early Christian philosophers already knew, that anxiety affects not only the mind but also the body and soul. Chronic anxiety can weaken the heart, disrupt digestion, damage the immune system, and even alter the brain’s structure. Yet God reminds us in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.” This article explores the full story of anxiety, where it began, how it evolved, and why the answer to overcoming it still begins with faith.
