Anksioznost je sve češća pojava u današnjem društvu i kako bi pomogli pojedincu važno je obrazovati društvo koje će moći prepoznati anksiozne poremećaje i pružiti potrebnu pomoć. Ova tema je važna za pedagošku znanost i struku zato što se problem anksioznosti često pojavljuje kod učenika u školama i važno je za pedagoge i nastavnike prepoznati problem i pružiti potrebnu pomoć.
