Hi. Welcome to Amplify Anxiety! My name is Karen, and I will be the host of this podcast. Ever since I could remember, I struggled with severe generalised anxiety disorder, also short for GAD. This mental illness involves persistent, uncontrollable worrying and excessive tension. On this podcast, I will be talking about my experience of GAD and help spread awareness and amplify the unheard voices of others who struggle with this anxiety, including 8 million Americans! This podcast is for everyone to listen to: whether you are a sufferer of any form of anxiety or want to learn more about anxiety to support someone or just want to tune in to educate yourself. Thanks for stopping by. Don’t forget to follow us on our Instagram @amplifyanxiety and subscribe to the podcast. Now recline, relax, and give the podcast a listen!
