Living
with an anxiety disorder is an awful condition – the symptoms, though
unique to each kind of disorder – can interfere with creating and
maintaining personal relationships, seeking and earning professional
success, and in some cases, can even be physically debilitating.
To make matters worse, there is often a cultural stigma surrounding
mental disorder (especially anxiety). Many people don't understand how
anxiety disorders work, or how they affect those who suffer from them.
Worse, there are voices in our society that insist that anxiety
disorders and other disorders of the executive function of the brain,
including depression and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, don't
even exist.
