Common Myths About Anxiety Treatment

I think just about everyone out there has a story about a time when they were anxious. For example, when you were trying to get back to school, it was raining too heavily or at night, and you were too anxious, so you couldn't sleep. Anxiety is very common, and we all get it from time to time. However, for big parts of the population, anxiety is not a brief, transient worry but rather a primary part of their lives. One big problem is that people have so many negative attitudes towards anxiety and its treatment that they often feel confused, lost, or even demoralized, rather than willing to get help.
