Anxiety: Your increased fear response may be a symptom of generalized anxiety. While there are medications for generalized anxiety, that would not be my first choice, especially at your age. I would instead encourage you to be mindful of the things, situations and thoughts that make you feel on edge (scared), and consider non-drug avenues such as talk therapy, meditation, yoga and/or routine exercise.
