Hypervigilance is a prominent characteristic of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and can also manifest in other anxiety disorders such as panic disorder, substance/medication-induced anxiety disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. In addition, hypervigilance can be triggered by conditions like schizophrenia, dementia, and paranoia. The purpose of this study was to explore the different facets associated with hypervigilance. The objectives of the study were to assess the awareness level and gather opinions from the participants. Both primary and secondary data were utilized in this study. The findings revealed that there was a lower level of awareness among females aged between 20 and 35 years, followed by their male counterparts in the same age group. Furthermore, it was evident that there is a necessity for social and medical support to address hypervigilance treatment.
