Medical Procedures and Anxiety Disorders
Does the thought of surgery throw you into a panic attack? Let’s discuss how to mentally prepare yourself for invasive medical procedures, especially if you already struggle with anxiety on a daily basis. Today’s show was recorded a day after our host Gabe’s surgery, so the anxiety and experience was still fresh in his mind.
Gabe and Lisa also reminisce about Gabe’s decades-old surgery -- and his extreme anxiety around it -- before he knew he had bipolar disorder.
