ANXIETY 101: Why You Feel The Way You Do

Depression Cure

Anxiety is the most common mental health disorder in the world, (having recently overtaken depression in the last few years).

Yet, despite how widespread it is, there’s still a lot of misunderstanding about what anxiety actually is, what causes it and even what it feels like to experience it.

So, today we’re doing the podcast deep as part of our 101 Series to explore and validate why you — or someone you love — feels anxious, AND more importantly what you can do about it.

Along the way Steve and Hew answer questions like:

- Why do we humans get anxious?

- Is it ever helpful?

- How do we diagnose anxiety?

- What actually causes anxiety in the first place?

- And how do causes change the way we go about treating it?

Thanks so much for being here and we really hope you enjoy.
