Hello again! On this weeks episode we have a very special guest joining us to talk about anxiety and its place within mental health. This is a topic that is still quite taboo in this day and age but is so common that its estimated that 1/5 people suffer from it. With the assistance of our good friend Cam, who is a social security worker and works specifically with people experiencing high functioning anxiety, we discuss our understandings of what anxiety is, the differing types of anxiety, and some useful tips and tricks on how to deal with these emotions. We hope that you stick around for todays episode and below are some available options to get help if needed.
