Anxiety Disorder
About Anxiety Disorder
Anxiety brings many people to DrTalks when breathing exercises and pep talks haven't been enough. A racing mind at night, panic, irritability, brain fog, poor sleep, and a body that feels on high alert all the time are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past your thoughts. Anxiety is tied to your nervous system, gut bacteria, blood sugar, nutrient levels, inflammation, trauma and even histamine. You'll find conversations on foods that calm or trigger anxiety, functional and nutritional psychiatry, helping kids with anxiety, and retraining a brain stuck in alarm mode. Psychiatrists, doctors and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from nutrient testing to screening questionnaires and genetic testing, and what helps, from whole-food eating, protein and key vitamins to breathwork, mindfulness, probiotics, morning light, counseling and medication when it's needed.
