In this episode, Dr. Erin Elmore joins Dr. Graham Taylor in a discussion about treating anxiety. They talk about how to put anxiety into a proper perspective, respond to stress in manageable ways, and how to befriend anxiety and to listen to what it's telling us. The conversation continues with ways to manage our stress by deep breathing, meditation, physical exercise, eating, sleep, gratitude practice, pro social behaviors, and early morning routines. There’s are all tools we can use to keep our stress in a manageable place, and actually enhance our performance to benefit our lives. We know that anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting about 18% of the adult population every year. The good news is that they are highly treatable yet, only about 37% of the people suffering from anxiety really receive treatment.
