This modern world we live in offers us a lot, it has given us the opportunity to have most things as our finger tips at any time of the day. But the other thing it brings us, is a lot more stress and less time alone, time left to reflect and be introspective.
And often, there is a build up of anxiety and depression that plagues most of us.
An astounding 40 million Americans (approximately) aged over 18 or around 18.1 percent of people within this age group who suffer from an anxiety disorder in a given year.
And with the leading cause of disability in the US for the ages of 15-44 being Major Depressive Disorder, it is a huge issue.
And many of us, try to avoid the traditional ways of trying to seek help. Often being handed sedatives or anti depressant medications, as the solution. Where most of us have heard the horror stories of the addictions and after effects of using such drugs long term.
