I would say it depends on what the person's anxiety is about.

I'm not so sure that sex is going to decrease their anxiety.

I'm Suri, a therapist and owner of Hearts and Minds psychotherapy group in Los Angeles.

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in Los Angeles.

Today I'm answering the most googled questions about anxiety.

Anxiety is essentially the body's way of preparing us for a threat.

So it's part of the threat protection system that we have.

Anxiety can be based on environment, can be trauma, can be situational.

Fear of being judged is a really big one.

And a lot of folks have anxiety around things that they feel in their body.

I have a headache, means something is wrong with me.

So sensations that go on in the body can provoke anxiety in a lot of people.

Because we never feel anxiety for no reason.

There is always a reason for an anxiety response.

It may be something that you're not yet aware of.

Could be you're responding to a thought that you're having or a prediction that you're making.

So maybe you won't be doing anything and all of a sudden you'll feel this anxiety.

Even though you are not actually in danger, the nervous system has learned this is what happens in when I feel this way.

In a way, it's genetic, but not in the way that you mean.

The question just because our parent had a ton of anxiety doesn't necessarily mean we are going to have that same amount.

Our nervous system might just be more sensitive to it.

It's genetic in the sense that programmed into our genes is the ability to feel anxious.

Anxiety as an emotion is part of our genetic makeup.

Difficulty breathing, very shallow breathing, tightness in your chest, lightheadedness, feeling faint, nausea, and

a sense of derealization or depersonalization.

What's the difference between anxiety attacks and panic attacks?

Anxiety attacks can be a lot slower, more of a buildup.

Whereas a panic attack comes on fast and doesn't stay for that long.

Whereas anxiety attacks, something often triggers it and you could often feel it for days or hours, which is different than a panic attack.

What is the difference between anxiety and an anxiety disorder?

But an anxiety disorder we have impair our functioning.

When anxiety starts to keep people from doing the things that they want to do, that's when it becomes a disorder.

SSRIs, SNRIs, anti anxiety medications, extremely effective.

And so when it's necessary, I'm a big fan.

When it's necessary, it's necessary, but it's not a quick fix.

And that's something people to keep in mind.

There is experience of a perceived experience of danger or stress that shows up in the body.

As humans, we really like to know what is going to happen next.

And so when we experience uncertainty about anything, where am I going next?

I would say uncertainty or loss of control are probably the number one triggers for anxiety.

When you think about what caffeine does, it's a stimulant, which means it's designed to activate, wake us up.

And that's similar to what the limbic system does when it perceives that we're in a state of danger.

There's something wrong with you if you have anxiety.

There is nothing wrong with you if you have anxiety.

There's nothing wrong with you if you feel anxious.

I said, you press this button, you will never experience anxiety ever again for the rest of your life.

And I'm like, wait, wait, stop for a second.

You'd imagine, what would your life be like with zero anxiety?

You do not have the ability to feel anxious at all.

And when they start to think about it, they realize, not a great plan.

The absence of anxiety would be more troubling than, you know, someone saying, oh, I feel anxious.

Is anxiety the same as worrying too much?

Worrying is ahead is all thoughts, right?

So anxiety is not the same as worrying too much because that is just happening up here.
