#23 The Human Condition with Susan Marie (Anxiety, Awakening, Treatment & GAD-7 Screening) by Susan Marie

The Human Condition is a weekly 10-15 minute audio series featuring me, you and a conversation about everyday experiences, made simple.

The human condition is defined as "the characteristics, key events, and situations which compose the essentials of human existence, such as birth, growth, emotionality, aspiration, conflict, and mortality".

Episode #23 covers anxiety as a mood disorder, as an awakening, with physical response, deep relaxation breathing, tips, triggers, how to get help, destigmatization and GAD-7 Screening.
