The anxious brain - anxiety, panic attacks and what psychologists do
Clinical psychologist Hayley Zarb joins Preeya to chat about the beast that is anxiety. What’s the difference between stress and anxiety? What happens during a session with a psychologist? What’s the role of medication and when is it useful? This is a chat filled with practical takeaways (including some tools you can implement to those annoying anxious thoughts!) and raw moments with Preeya sharing her own journey with generalised anxiety disorder during medical school and how it continues to impact her role with patients in the consulting room. If this episode raises any concerns for you please speak to a qualified health professional. 24/7 support is also available in a crisis from Lifeline - 13 11 14Instagram: @doctor.preeya.alexanderBooks: Eat, Sleep, Play, Love by Dr Preeya AlexanderFull Plate, out nowTo find out more about AIA Australia head to www.aia.com.au
