Answer:
a learned reaction and the result of illogical, irrational thought processes
Explanation:
According to the learning perspective, anxiety disorders, OCD, and PTSD are a result of reinforcement of fearful behavior and observational learning over the years. When the fear based behavior gets reinforced and the individual learns anxious responses from their surroundings then this combines with other irrational beliefs and illogical interpretations, Such a cognitive state makes it hard for the individual to make appropriate and informed decisions and actions resulting in anxiety.
