Anxiety and depression are negative emotions

Are negative emotions always disadvantageous?

In our daily life, people may feel some "negative emotions", such as anger, fear, anxiety, and depression. These emotions　are normal physiological responses and have some advantages in normal everyday life. When you feel angry about being treated unfairly, these emotions can increase your energy to　fight against the injustice; when you fear from danger, these emotions will remind you to avoid such dangers; when you feel anxiety and depression, these emotion will urge you to eliminate the stimuli that are causing these emotions.

When are negative emotions harmful?

When the stimuli that cause these negative emotions are gone, the negative emotions should decrease and disappear gradually. If the negative emotions persist for a long time, the person's life can be disrupted, and they may need to be treated to overcome these negative emotions.

The treatment of negative emotions

Psychotherapy and pharmaceutical treatment are the most common therapies for negative emotions. If psychotherapy is ineffective or you are afraid of the side effects of medications, you can select an alternative medicaltherapy, such as acupuncture.
