I Was Diagnosed With An Anxiety Disorder 10 Years Ago—These Daily Habits Help Me Live Anxiety-Free Today
It seems like everyone has anxiety these days. Influencers and celebrities often talk about their anxiety struggles, much more than what we saw when we were growing up. When I was in graduate school, I was also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and given medication to take. But today I live anxiety-free (and medication-free) thanks to lifestyle and diet changes.
It seems like every other celebrity these days has a story to tell about their anxiety disorder, from Shawn Mendes to Selena Gomez to Jonah Hill. This isn't just happening in Hollywood. Anxiety and depression have been on the rise over the last decade, according to various research, and the United States is a leading country when it comes to rates of anxiety, especially compared to developing countries. There was also recent research released suggesting that depression isn't actually caused by a chemical imbalance, leaving many people facing the uncomfortable truth that lifestyle and diet are largely the reasons why so many people suffer from depression in our society.
