The mind or the brain?
If it is the brain, there are a phalanx of drugs being promoted that purport to alleviate the symptoms.
If your anxiety comes from your mind, it can be eliminated by professional coaching.
Your choice: drugging the symptoms, or removing the anxiety by having a direct conversation with its cause.
Weigh the consequences of either option: Drugs such as benzodiazepines, opiates or alcohol are dangerously addictive and only mask the reason for your anxiety; Coaching by a certified psychologist using CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) will attack the source of your anxiety and place in your hands the proven tools to stop anxiety from taking over your life.
To mask anxiety or to get rid of it?
Your choice. Read Anxiety: Debug It Don’t Drug It, by Dr. Michael Catchpole, available through Rutherford Press:
