Medication is one, but not the only treatment option when it
comes to anxiety. In this episode, a description of what
Benzodiazepines Medication are, some of the names and resources to
check out.
In housekeeping news, thank you all that have stuck with me. I
found out that the new software and microphone I was using
had a distortion.
I couldn't hear it on my side but I was checking an episode on
a podcasting app and oooh, not what I intended. If you didn't hear
the distortion, I'm glad.
If you did then I'm really sorry.
I'll find a solution. Seem like the story of my life. Find the
problem. Find the solution.
