En effet, l'angoisse se caractérise par l'intensité du malaise psychique ressenti qui résulte d'une extrême inquiétude, d'un danger vague, mais imminent, devant lequel on serait désarmé et impuissant. L'angoisse survient souvent sous forme de crises qui sont très difficiles à contrôler. L'individu a alors du mal à analyser l'origine de son angoisse, et s'affole d'autant plus qu'il sent les palpitations, les sueurs et les tremblements l'envahir. 2, record 1, French, - angoisse
