The main philosophical debate in My Age of Anxiety is this: Should we embrace our anxiety as part of our existential condition, seeing anxiety as a “calling,” a way of enhancing our life, struggling through the demons, and facing the great meaning of life questions?

Or does the pain and suffering from biologically-induced anxiety merit a pharmaceutical solution to give relief to those innocent sufferers?
Develop an argumentative thesis that addresses the above questions for a 5 to 7-page research paper.
