    "I do think that the news in general has definitely taken a toll on people's mental health at large. And I don't think it matters what side of the political spectrum you're on." - Dr. Gail Saltz

    "If you're really feeling plagued, try to avoid people who are big catastrophizers because they're going to stay very glued to this stuff. It might not be bringing them pleasure, but they are wrapped in it in a way that they maybe can't see their way out of." - Dr. Gail Saltz

    "Anxiety disorders, your world gets smaller and smaller. Which is why the treatment has to do with exposure, because the more that you do, the more you desensitize yourself to the thing that you're afraid of and you regrow your world." - Dr. Gail Saltz
