Ctrl+Alt+Delete Anxiety; a guide to mental wellness (WHY2025)
From (political) climate change to people marrying AI chatbots. The world can be a scary place.
This talk will be a comprehensive guide to anxiety. We’ll go through the basics of neuroscience and **causes of anxiety**, look at **the effects of the neurodivergent brain on anxiety** and you will be provided with **tools backed by science to implement directly into your daily life!**
You might feel tension in your chest when preparing a presentation, or a funny feeling in your stomach when you know you'll have to take public transport. Almost everyone feels anxious every once in a while, and about 15% of adults in the Netherlands have or have had an anxiety disorder. An explanation about what causes these feelings, and good applicable solutions on managing these feelings are sadly not always easy to find.
This talk will first provide you with a basic understanding of the (neuro)science behind anxiety. After we have a clear picture of **the causes of anxiety** we’ll look at neurodivergent brains, as many of us are blessed with one of those, and how that can influence anxiety. Last, but definitely not least, we’ll look at current research on anxiety interventions. And I'll provide you with **practical tips**, applicable **long term changes** that might help with daily well-being and **what to do when stressing about the existence of blockchains!**
(Ps. don’t worry, I won't tell you to just go for a run)
