The article reveals the relationship between a person's creative potential and anxiety, and the idea of the role of anxiety in the process of its adaptation were considered based on a review of the works of philosophers – existentialists, representatives of psychodynamic approaches, and modern researchers. It is pointed out the need to develop a person's creative potential through awareness of the essence of their anxiety and understanding of its true causes. It is on this basis that successful adaptation is possible.

Creative activity appears as the same mechanism that opposes regressive lines in human development, can be a highly capable means of psychological rehabilitation and preservation of psychological health.
