Hi everyone, it's Dr. Nagor again. Our next episode of Psychology Unplugged. Please forgive my raspy voice.

I've been dealing with a cold for the last few days. But as always, another fun and exciting week in the world of mental health.

And I appreciate your constant continued feedback and support of our program.

And I like the question answer episodes.

And I've compiled a list of questions that I'll do another psychopathology kind of Q&A.

And thank you for reaching out.

And I really have, it's really fun to get to talk to people from just different parts of the world and

see how, really, how much more we have in common than we are, we are different.

And again, for those of you who reach out with fan mail through Buzz Sprout, which is the

platform that I use to host the

podcast. I can't respond to any of those emails, but I will be more than happy to, I'll give you

the content information how to get a hold of me via other methods, and hopefully we will be able to

connect at some point.

So I had an email or text the other day very recently from a young listener, 11 years old,

asking about his anxiety.

And I know I've done a lot of topics about anxiety and will continue to revisit it.

As I've mentioned, you know, depression and anxiety are you commonly referred to as the common colds of mental illness.

And anxiety can be exhausting, whether that's generalized anxiety, social anxiety, what we would out call social phobia, panic disorder, which can be incredibly debilitating because of the physical symptoms that often mimic cardiac symptoms and panic attacks are the number one cause of emergency revisits in the United States. So I thought just more on a general level,

worry. Worry is very much a part of anxiety. And it's worry about things that have happened.

And a lot of times it's worry about things that are going to happen, real or imagine.

So take a student who may have to, you know, they see on their syllabus that they have to

give a presentation, whether that's your in third grade or whether that you're in a doctoral program.
