Relentless untreated anxiety is the core driver of destructive human behavior. It is the sensation generated by your body’s stress chemicals in response to a mental or physical threat. We hate feeling anxious and will do anything to solve or avoid this sensation.

Untreated anxiety is becoming a major social and health issue. Many people in their late teens, twenties and early thirties are suffering from crippling anxiety. These individuals are (or soon will be) establishing families and taking on greater responsibility in the workplace. Yet, a large percentage of them lack resilience skills.

In this important episode, spine surgeon Dr. David Hanscom discusses the need to view untreated anxiety as a serious public health problem. He shows why it’s the root cause of destructive behavior and makes a compelling case that our human survival will depend on us addressing it correctly. He believes we already have the knowledge and means to accomplish this task. For additional information, visit: http://www.backincontrol.com/societal-disintegration-untreated-anxiety
