S.No.	Description of Anxiety	Identification (2x4)	Justification (3x4)
1.	Ahmad is living in a coastal area, where one day, he heard on a news channel that a hurricane is approaching. Ahmad is well aware of the impending danger. He has a special fear of strong winds and lightning, which exacerbates his anxiety. News channels communicated to locals that winds were stronger than a normal storm, and lightning would also be fierce. Ahmad was terrified with the thought of facing the powerful, howling winds and intense lightning strikes during a hurricane.	Reality Anxiety	Ahmad's anxiety in this scenario aligns with Freud's concept of reality anxiety. The impending danger of the hurricane, with its strong winds and intense lightning, represents a real and tangible threat. The anxiety is a natural response to an objectively threatening situation, in line with reality anxiety.

2.	Eshaal is a bright college student who always shows excellent performance in her studies and is known for her intelligence and creativity in college. Yet, she has always had an intense fear of speaking in public. Whenever her teacher asks her to give a presentation in front of her class fellows, she experiences overwhelming anxiety. She starts to fear that she might embarrass herself, make a mistake, or that her mind will go blank when she stands in front of her peers.	Neurotic Anxiety	Eshaal's intense fear of public speaking corresponds to neurotic anxiety. This type of anxiety stems from the unconscious fear of expressing forbidden impulses. In this case, the fear of embarrassment, making a mistake, or experiencing a mental lapse in front of her peers reflects underlying psychological conflicts and repressed emotions associated with public exposure.
3.	Sohail is a young man who was brought up in a religious but conservative family. He has always been taught by his father to maintain high moral values, specifically in relation to premarital relationship. As he reaches adulthood, he starts liking a woman, and they are in a loving, committed relationship. However, his family’s religious values strongly discourage intimacy before marriage.	Moral Anxiety	Sohail's situation is indicative of moral anxiety. He experiences inner conflict and anxiety because of the clash between his personal desires (a loving, committed relationship) and his family's strong religious values that discourage intimacy before marriage. This anxiety arises from the tension between his individual moral beliefs and external moral standards imposed by his family and culture.
4.	Faria, a 10 years old girl who has been playing in a park with her mother. Suddenly, she saw a dog who rushes towards her, barking loudly and appearing aggressive. Faria becomes frightened and quickly moves towards her mother. At that moment, she experiences extreme fear and physiological responses, like an increased heart rate and palpitations.	Neurotic Anxiety	Faria's fear of the aggressive dog falls under the category of neurotic anxiety. This type of anxiety is triggered by an unconscious fear of expressing forbidden impulses. In this scenario, the sudden and aggressive behavior of the dog activates Faria's unconscious fears, leading to extreme fear and physiological responses. The anxiety is not solely based on the objective danger posed by the dog but involves deeper, unconscious fears.
