Stop anxiety from undermining your health
- Anxiety underlies 99% of alcoholics' drinking disorders, and research associates it with depressive disorder over 75% of the time. Unattended, anxiety can adversely affect the nervous system in micromolecular ways, increasing inflammation, amplifying pain and accelerating health problems, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and respiratory function.
- Consult your doctor. Your physician may recommend anti-anxiety medication, talk therapy or other types of treatment. Addressing the underlying cause of unchecked anxiety can be critical, to prevent a cascade of negative symptoms from being unleashed.
- Throughout the treatment process, AT can be an invaluable tool, on its own or n addition to medication and other clinical approaches, for managing anxiety and depression.
- And AT has no adverse side effects - only benefits.

- AT can provide you with strategies you can use to respond to each potential stressor as a stimulus for learning and growth, and help you reclaim your wholeness and integrity.
- So, when anxiety threatens to distort your perspective and disrupt your life, AT can make a real difference for the better.
