Professor Antoine Pelissolo is a psychiatrist and head of department at CHU Henri-Mondor in Créteil. He has worked for more than twenty years on anxiety and depressive disorders, particularly phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
His research focuses on the causes and treatments of these disorders, especially in their severe and resistant forms. How do you know if you are anxious or too anxious? Anxiety is related to fear. It is a very useful emotion that allows us to react, flee or defend ourselves. In general, it is the complications of this anxiety that alert us.
