Ep. 13 - Understanding Anxiety and How to Find Relief
We are re-airing this important episode of Two Shrinks & A Mic where Dr. David Gross and Dr. Andrew Rosen take a deep dive into the complexities of anxiety. From the evolutionary role of the amygdala to the rise of health anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder, they explore why our brains are wired to remember fear more vividly than joy. The doctors discuss how panic attacks can feel like life-threatening events, why reassurance rarely works, and the powerful connection between anxiety and self-medication. Most importantly, they share why anxiety disorders are highly treatable and how cognitive behavioral therapy combined with medication can retrain the brain for lasting relief. If anxiety has ever left you feeling out of control, this episode offers education, hope, and practical steps toward recovery.
