To whoever came to this video, you're on the right track. I have very severe GAD, and only recently started dealing with it. The biggest step that helped me calm my GAD is understanding what it is, why it happens, how the body responds to it and realizing that it does not pose any physical or psychological danger to you. You are not going to die, you are not going to end up in hospital, you are not losing your mind. Remember that. As much as it is extremely uncomfortable, it cannot hurt you. And the more you learn about it, and what triggers your anxiety, the less afraid you become, and the less afraid you become, the less anxious you are. You can do it. It is tough in the beginning, but by using CBT methods, tackling your catastrophic thoughts and realizing that all those fears you have only exist in your head and they are not truths, using exposure therapy and meditation and exercise you will learn to control it in a healthy way. As long as you want to get better and you are willing to put in the work even though you may not see results immediately, You can beat this. Most importantly, remember your anxiety is not evil, it's not harmful, in fact it is the opposite. Your emotional brain tries it's best to protect you, not to harm you. Unfortunately it is sometimes hyperactive, causing it to 'protect' you against non-existent dangers (fears that only exist as thoughts in your head), that is all anxiety is. So don't be hard on yourself. It takes time, but it is completely possible.

Someone once said "if u forget about ur anxiety your anxiety will forget about you" ive learnt a lot from this and its basically very true.

Thank you, Dr. Barry. When I feel myself going into panic, I just remind myself that my Amygdala is kicking into overdrive and to just ride it out. It has abbreviated anxiety and panic significantly. Life-changing.

Thank you so much, Dr. I had GAD, as a child, however, I was diagnosed recently, and it keeps triggering and keeps coming and going back, but mostly it's always the anxiousness and constant worry that's there in my mind. My mind never shuts up its been 27 years.

I've watched Dr Harry Barry's video four times today with interest.. I found what he said to make a lot of sense, and as I watched his video, my acute anxiety attack, started to subside slowly... Sadly I've had another three attacks since then..but thanks to Dr Barry I feel a lot more positive and stronger in myself, and will achieve a life panic free... The feelings are uncomfortable, but you are not in any danger..

CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) is a good way to start to get a grip on it and live a normal life. Don’t waste time suffering. Take action and try CBT.

My son is seriously suffering from this now and won't leave his house. We're trying so hard to find him help.

Hi, he might benefit from exposure therapy (ET) that a cognitive behavioral therapist can help with. I found out about ET treatment for my highway driving phobia. I thought I was really crazy and found out that these problems are not uncommon and that there are proven and scientific treatments through exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. I ran across a book called Face Your Fears: A Proven Plan to Beat Panic, Anxiety, Phobias, and Obsessions by David F. Tolin. I contacted a CBT to help me and it wasn't overnight but I have made a great deal of progress. I had stopped driving on the highway and was beginning to avoid even smaller streets, but after 7 yrs. of no highway driving due to fear/panic and wanting to avoid the fear, I am back on the highways, at least close to home. What a difference. I don't think I could have done it on my own with the book, and am glad I sought professional help. But the book is what made me aware of what treatment I needed, and that I could be helped, and I've no doubt your son can be helped. I wish you luck in finding it for him. Sorry so long-winded, but I hope this helps and gives some hope.

Most doctors are like here is your tranquilizer prescription, bye, see you in a month. It really really helps someone with a health problem to have a doctor explain things to them.

And later 3 other antidepressants each try ended up making things worse- I stopped taking all meds. It took me many years to recognize the signs before it would come on as well as what could help it stop a little quicker- but now at 34 I have far less often. This is the first one I've had in months, used to have them several times a week. Meditation, being in nature and exercising/breathing deeply help me tremendously.

You are so right about anxiety being a habit rather than a mental health disorder.

My GAD comes and goes, it gave me a wonderful life as I had a great education and worked in several countries. It comes and goes, especially when I have difficulties but it can disappear and life is great. Now it is back for a while, it will go though. It was in my early childhood as my parents were quite anxious. Very sad, my step-sisters had it too.

I can't thank you enough for these tips on dealing with Anxiety throughout all your videos. For a time i was able to control my anxiety but because of adjusting to a new life out of college and dealing with new responsibilities it got to the point where I was having uncontrollable crying fits and feelings of dread every single day. For two days now Xanax felt like the only fix-all for those moments to stop. Thank you. Just thank you. I wish i could give you a hug because you helped me realize that with patience i can overcome this monster. If anything, i need to hug it as well to tell it everything is ok when those episodes happen again. Thank you.

I’ve successfully treated this with hypnotherapy, nlp techniques and kinetic shift , not just CBT helps

Omg…this describes me perfectly. Ended up with cancer and while recovering as a part of my treatments started receiving cbt. Such hard work after all the years I’ve had GAD, probably since birth….it is not at all easy or rapid for me! But does help!

The meds are too help you cope. They're very helpful when you're overwhelmed. The kinda keep things at bay. But they don't address the problem. Dr. Harry Barry, and the DARE book/app by Barry McDonagh have been extremely helpful in finding a way out. Both present such an incredibly simple explanation and practice. After 40yrs (!) Of dealing with this, it was definitely a "no shit?!" feeling reading the explanation and approach.

I have a GAD diagnosis myself and have taken SSRI's for many years. As it was explained to me, SSRI's treat symptoms, not the root cause of GAD itself. The Catastrophic thinking patterns, the desire for control at all times and destructive behaviors are at the core of GAD. With Dr. Barry's book, I've made progress and have reduced my Anti-depressant from 15 mg. per day down to 5mg. per day. I've still got a ways to go but, I'm better! (BTW, DON'T stop taking Anti-depressants without medical supervision! You must taper off SSRI's slowly or you may go into withdrawal - which can be VERY unpleasant!)

I used to get scared and sad, but I've been dealing with this for almost 20 years. Now I tend to get angry and frustrated, but I do worry most about attacks. I used to have them on an all day daily basis. They are pretty seldom now...just when things start getting hectic.

Life changing!!!!!! ❤👏

All the worst symptoms lasting 4 another wk. Uncontrollable crying, then another wk, going away a little everyday until the next time. I could never finish anything. I learned not to start anything. I was aware! It has ruined my entire life. Mother was mentally ill and no father. No love. I don't think I know how it feels. My Son also suffered with it. He's dead...

Great video. To me it literally feels like a monster jumping on my back when I am distracted and insecure about something.

Thank you, I now understand more about panic and anxiety and that unless a person is depressed that prescribing an antidepressant medication will not help with GAD as you mention. . Great video clear and consie and very easy to understand.

I wish I could meet you.. ♡ great information

One explanation for GAD and panic is that an overstressed pregnant women is secreting cortisol which then results in a child having an enlarged amygdala so that later in life this child will have anxiety problems later in life.

I have GAD and 1 of my symptoms is it feels like theres a ball in my throat that gets bigger, and it feels like I'm choking to breath. I always tell myself it's in my head and itl pass and I'm not dying, my symptoms cant last forever. It sucks with the symptoms and its a hard fight, what's worse is how people dont see it is a big deal and think its somthing you can control.
