Angst

In this engaging and accessible volume, psychiatrist Jeffrey Kahn explores how modern-day anxiety and depression stem from our evolutionary past, tracing the roots of five key types of angst to ancient social instincts that once ensured survival. He explains how these primal drives can resurface in contemporary emotional disorders, highlighting the interplay between our biological instincts and the rational mind. Drawing from scientific research, historical insights, and cultural references, Kahn offers a fresh perspective on understanding and addressing mental health challenges in modern civilization.
