The historical and cultural development of anxiety as a condition and its treatment

The historical and cultural development of anxiety as a condition and its treatment.

Around one in 14 people worldwide experience anxiety at any one time. This condition can be mild, but at the other extreme prevent people from living normal lives. We investigate the historical and cultural development of the condition and speak to people experiencing anxiety about the effect it has on them. We also speak with a clinical psychologist to go through the various treatment options.
