Mental health treatments today are becoming more questionable as time goes on.
Someone once told me that ‘when we are presented with more options on how to think about something, a shift begins to take place.’ During my 6 year struggle with an anxiety disorder my options were limited, my perspective was narrow, and I was treated like a number wherever I turned.
Every human beings anxiety or mental health struggle is different, so why are our treatment options treating us like they’re all the same?
The chemical imbalance theory pushes medication taking as soon as the words anxiety or depression are uttered. As much as there are people out there that have benefited tremendously from this treatment option, too many have opened up a whole new batch of problems within themselves related to toxicity and other side effects.
We need to be shown that the way we think about the things that currently sensitize us can change. We also need examples of other people that have gone down the road of anxiety recovery to speak up, and begin helping sufferers get to a better place in mental health
In this powerful podcast episode focused on straight talk I’ll share my opinions and concerns over today’s mental health treatments
And it doesn’t mean you have to accept what I preach, it’s just one person’s opinion. It’s a reach out to expand your awareness, and recognize the fact that you have options that go far beyond the option-less ways we’re shown today. Becoming more than anxiety means adopting a growth mindset in the end, adopting the idea that you don’t have to be a carbon copy of mom and dad.
In today’s podcast I’ll be sharing my thoughts around:
- Why I felt so stuck with today’s mental health treatments
- How they consistently positively treat emotional problems in the east
- Where I went wrong in my search for answers to my anxiety and panic struggle
Remember, you are more than anxiety!

Love it. Im just reading dr Claire Weekes book that you mentioned in one of your videos and its the same thing your saying. Its just reaching the point of patience and acceptance to float trough it and get better. I just want the dizziness and other physical symptoms to go away.
An excelling read I agree Christina, keep it up.
