I did not claim that modern world is behind my anxiety, just that, following the article's logic, feeling the physical effects of anxiety - even if the cause is not seemingly rational - is a crippling problem only because it interferes with out modern way of lives.
Experiencing a "fight and flight" misfire is not, in itself, a huge issue, even if it happens a couple times every day. The problem is you can't really function in the modern society with (or by anticipating) that.
That aside, I sometimes forget that everyone's experience is different. The thing I got treatment for (a modern SSRI was all it took) after wrestling with it for more than a decade was definitely easy to tell and query. And when I got an attack, people could tell. And when I was not in an attack, my cognition was 50% busy with worrying about when and in what situation I'd get my next attack.
