Moving On
Published in R. Dennis Shelby, People with HIV and Those who help them, 2013
When men feel opportunities arc blocked either by health considerations, maintaining insurance or basic anxiety, a sense of discouragement often results. “I just could not do it. It was just too risky to change jobs and move across the country. It would mean new doctors, losing my support base. It was just too much.” “It feels like one more thing this disease has taken from me.” When contemplating new challenges, men often encounter a sense of vulnerability. “Things I used to take for granted–changing jobs, an exotic trip to a third world country, now seem very formidable.” “I find myself daydreaming about a new job, a safari, something adventuresome and outrageous, then I freak and think, ‘No, you had better stay put’”

Horney (1945, 1950) described a variety of responses to basic anxiety, grouped into three broader trends: compliant (i.e., moving toward others), aggressive (moving against others), and detached (moving away from others). Compliant individuals desire acceptance and love, and seek someone (e.g., spouse, close friend) who can ease feelings of isolation and helplessness. They have a strong drive to please others, even at the expense of their own feelings and desires. Aggressive individuals view others as hostile and untrustworthy, and strive to outsmart, exploit, and gain control or dominance over others. Finally, in defending against basic anxiety and a broad sense of interpersonal threat and vulnerability, detached individuals strive to avoid emotional connections with others, preferring privacy, self-sufficiency, and independence.

It was developed by Kroenke et al. [17]. It is a patient-reported scale filled in by the patient. It can be used both in research and in daily clinical practice. It comprises the PHQ-9 subscale evaluating the nine fields of major depressive disorder, the GAD-7 subscale evaluating the seven basic anxiety symptoms, the PHQ-15 subscale evaluating the somatic symptoms. Its validity and reliability study in Turkey has been conducted [18].
