Burris Coaching for Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders commonly occur along with other mental or physical illnesses, including alcohol or substance abuse, which may mask anxiety symptoms or make them worse. In some cases, these other illnesses need to be treated before a person will respond to treatment for the anxiety disorder.

We get back to the same contention with Anxiety Disorders and that is if you are not running it (your subconscious) it is running itself. You can only assert control if you fully understand how it works.

Statistics

• Anxiety disorders include panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and phobias (social phobia, agoraphobia, and specific phobia).
• Approximately 40 million American adults ages 18 and older, or about 18.1 percent of people in this age group in a given year, have an anxiety disorder.(1)
• Anxiety disorders frequently co-occur with depressive disorders or substance abuse.(1)
• Most people with one anxiety disorder also have another anxiety disorder. Nearly three-quarters of those with an anxiety disorder will have their first episode by age 21.5 (5)
