Session Description:

Anxiety is the fear of being incapable or unable to face an impending circumstance or event. It is a normal emotion that as an informant, enhances preparedness, diminishes risks and promotes safety. But when it leads with excessive nervousness, apprehension, and worry, it becomes a mental disorder that if mild it might be vague and unsettling, while if severe it may seriously affect day-to-day living. Symptoms include those of stress - such as palpitations and sweating - out of proportion to the impact of the event, inability to set aside the worry, and generalized restlessness amongst others. 

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population every year.  The recent covid related restrictions have tested our capabilities, while the now obvious devastating effects of climate change clearly question what’s to come. As a result, anxiety runs high in most of the world’s population.
