The Dr. Leaf Show

Anxiety is a hot topic at the moment. Everywhere we are seeing stats and headlines telling us there is an anxiety epidemic. I disagree and in this podcast I will discuss how anxiety is NOT a disorder and not on the rise. Rather, anxiety is a signal that we need to learn to listen to, and it can be managed without psychotropic medication. Want to join my January book club?
