What is the difference between anxiety as a normal healthy emotion and anxiety disorder
Normal anxiety...
- Is related to a specific situation or problem
-Lasts only as long as the situation or problem
-Is proportional to the situation or problem.
-Is a realistic response to a realistic problem or situation
Can be helpful in certain situations such as to prepare for a test.
When someone experiences an anxiety disorder...
-Anxiety may come up unexpectedly, for seemingly no reason
-The anxiety response to a situation or problem may be much stronger that they would expect
-They may experience a lot of unrealistic anxiety, such as fear of a situation that likely will never happen
-Anxiety may last for a long time, even when the situation or problem has been resolved
-Anxiety may feel impossible to control or manage
-They may avoid situations or things that they believe to trigger anxiety symptoms

Recommendations to improve access to mental health care.
✅ Increase health care professional training in mental health
✅ Offer speciality mental health related programs and certificates at educational institutions
✅ Establishment of mental health practice and care in general hospitals
✅ Political and governmental support to spark conversations and get involved in supporting the well being of their nation.
We need to extend the mental health care facility to general hospitals rather than establishing specialized hospitals as people feel discomfort to go to specialized mental hospitals fearing to be stigmatized.
Creating a safe environment means including mental health into society and in to its structures and agents.
Real change = real difference !
Please read this informative article about stigma and it’s effects on people.
Based on scientific evidence.

Why it all started
Once upon a time during a soul searching backpacking trip to connect with their inner peace, Pierre-Paul & Cassandra (a couple of passionate creatives) committed to one day overcome their fears and self-doubt and launch their own brand which would involve all the things they loved, creativity, entertainment and art as a whole.
Though that wasn’t enough, it had to be more... if they would commit to it; it had to be founded in their desire to help other people. It could not be just a brand, it HAD to do some sort of good, and offer value beyond the pure materialistic world.
Both having experienced various degrees of anxiety throughout the years, they decided to explore the subject further and to take more direct action against the stigma surrounding anxiety and its impact on our day-to-day lives.
Thus was born the idea for The Anxious Empath. Combining arts, entertainment and fashion, they launched a brand that uses clothing to spark conversations about anxiety.
