Question

Why does a person need the flight or fight response?

Answer 1

People need the fight or flight response as it helps your body to survive any life-threatening danger. The fight or flight response also occurs instantaneously, without even having to think about it. So it is a reflex that occurs automatically when there is a danger present, and it instantly prepares your body to either fight the danger, or to disappear from the danger (run from it or freeze in place).
