I think it's important to talk about the fact that, like just being an adult in general, you're going to have anxiety, and it doesn't mean that you need to be officially diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorder, and that having anxiety is very normal.
Why does it seem like everyone is dealing with anxiety these days? In this episode of The Banyan Podcast, hosts Vanessa Whitnell and Rachel Mitchell tackle this pressing question. With an estimated 31% of U.S. adults experiencing anxiety disorders at some point, it's clear this is a widespread issue. Vanessa and Rachel break down different types of anxiety disorders, from generalized anxiety to specific phobias, and discuss how these conditions can affect everyday life.
They explore the reasons behind the rising anxiety levels in society, pointing to factors like technology overload and societal pressures. But it's not all doom and gloom—this episode is packed with practical advice on how to manage anxiety. From self-care routines and exercise to meditation and professional therapy, there are plenty of strategies to help you cope. The hosts also stress the importance of normalizing mental health conversations and recognizing that feeling anxious is a common human experience.
They even touch on the added layer of anxiety brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether you're dealing with anxiety yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable tips.
