Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders affect 18% of adults age 18 and older and 25% of children between 13 and 18 in the U.S. But despite their prevalence, they are still often misunderstood and therefore go undiagnosed and untreated. On this episode, Deloitte chief well-being officer Jen Fisher talks with Dr. Judson Brewer a renowned addiction psychiatrist and neuroscientist. Dr. Brewer is an associate professor at Brown University and executive medical director at Sharecare. His new book Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind is now a New York Times best seller.
