Edvard Munch, who suffered deeply from anxiety, wrote this in his diary: "
My fear of life is necessary to me, as is my illness. They are indistinguishable from me, and their destruction would destroy my art."
Munch's famous painting, The Scream, is believed to reflect the deep anxiety of modern man.
