Abstract
The scope of this chapter is a comparison between forms of anxiety present in advanced societies and those that were present around the year 1000. The year 1000 has been described as a time with intense fear of apocalypse. this theory is disputed today. But, even if the documentory sources are rare and difficult to interpret, the interest reamains to wonder, by comparing them to the current forms, to th anxiety in the medieval world where one often dies young and where hunger is a permanent risk.
