In the U.S., in the next 12 months, the best estimates are that 27 million adults will have at least one panic attack.

In the UK, one in five people will develop some form of disorder anxiety.

There is certainly a physical component to anxiety and panic and all those things.

Primarily, we care about the cognitive part of this, the interpretation, how you interact with it, when you think about it.

If other people feel like me, why do we end up experiencing anxiety like this?

Run or fight or freeze or whatever you need to do to stay alive.

Well, I know you want me to do those things,

but I can't, I'm not going to do those things.

It's the misinterpretation of a misfiring threat response, and that misinterpretation is cognitive.

Welcome to the Disordered Podcast. This is episode number eight entitled Anxiety.

Dot, dot, dot, dot, mind versus body. I'm Drew Lin Salada, graduate student in clinical

mental health counseling and therapists and training in the U.S. And I want to remind you that

in the U.S. in the next 12 months, the best estimates are that 27 million adults will have

at least one panic attack, but only 2% of them will develop panic disorder. And I'm Joshua

Fletcher, also known as Anxiety Josh. I'm a psychotherapist who specializes in anxiety disorders

in the UK. Did you know that in the UK, one in five people,

I don't know if it applies to the US as well,

but one in five people will develop some form of disordered anxiety.

In their lifetime, right?

In their lifetime, yeah.

I also like how you included dot, dot, dot, dot.

The dot, dot, dot, dot could have just been a pause. It could. But fair enough to you. You don't get any, there's no half measures with Drew. He's going to do something. He's going to do it properly. No, I like to speak my ellipses if possible. So there are people too. That's his dating profile.
