Transform Anxiety into Action
Anxiety can be perceived as a habit rather than merely an emotional response, and this perspective enables the development of effective programs to address it. A program called 'unwinding anxiety' was implemented via an app, resulting in a clinically validated 67% reduction in anxiety scores. Comparatively, the number needed to treat (NNT) for traditional medications is 5.2, whereas the NNT for this program is significantly lower at 1.6, indicating a substantially greater efficacy. To understand anxiety, it is characterized as a feeling of nervousness about impending events or uncertain outcomes, often described as a fear of the future, as it typically involves concerns about what has not yet occurred.
