We all experience anxiety and small, manageable amounts can serve as motivation for healthy and adaptive behaviors. However, when we spend too much time in the future, experiencing dread or worry, it can present as physical symptoms that contribute to acute and chronic disease states. The first step in learning how to treat anxiety is to learn exactly what it is, how it presents in the body (physiology) and where it comes from. Building an empowering, strong foundation is an essential component of battling any mental health-related issue or disorder. Lastly, research shows anxiety prevalence climbing, so it is paramount that those who suffer with it learn healthy ways to cope that can be passed down to their children to reduce these rates.
