Munthu akayamba kudwala matendawa, kawirikawiri amayambanso kudzikayikira, kukhala wosasangalala pa zochitika zoyenera kusangalala, amafooka, ndiponso amamva ululu popanda chifukwa chomveka. Anthu omwe ali ndi matendawa nthawi zina amaona amakhulupirira zinthu zomwe si zoona kapenanso amaona kapena kumva zinthu zimene kulibe.

Matenda a nkhawa angasokoneze kwambiri moyo wa munthu, ntchito yake, maphunziro ake, kumusowetsa tulo ngakhalenso kumulepheretsa kudya ndi kusokonezanso thanzi lake. Anthu akuluakulu oyambira pa awiri kufika 8 pa Anthu 1000 aliwonse omwe li ndi matenda a nkhawa amafa mochita kudzipha, ndipo hafu ya anthu onse omwe amadzipha amakhala kuti anali ndi matenda a nkhawa kapena matenda ena a maganizo.}	

Pali zinthu zingapo zimene zimayambitsa matenda a nkhawa, monga kuyamwira matendawa komanso chifukwa cha zochitika pamoyo wa munthu. Zina mwa zinthu zimene zimayambitsa matendawa ndi zakumtundu, kusintha kwambiri kwa zinthu pamoyo, mankhwala ena akuchipatala, matenda ena akuluakulu, ndiponso kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo. Zikuoneka kuti anthu 40 pa 100 aliwonse amene amadwala matendawa amachita kuyamwira kuchokera ku mtundu wawo. Madokotala amatha kudziwa kuti munthu ali ndi matenda a nkhawa malinga ndi zimene munthuyo wakhala akuchita ndiponso mmene kaganizidwe ka munthuyo kalili. Palibe njira ya ku labu imene ingagwiritsidwe ntchito poyeza kuti madokotala adziwe ngati munthu ali ndi matenda a nkhawa. Komabe, madokotala amatha kumuyeza munthu kuti adziwe ngati ali ndi matenda ena omwe zizindikiro zake n'zofanana ndi matenda a ankhawa.
