In this episode, we talk about Social Anxiety Disorder in kids, teens, and adults—what it looks like, how it’s different from being shy, and how fear of judgment can affect everyday life. We explain how therapy approaches like CBT, ACT, and DBT help people face social fears, reduce avoidance, and build real confidence over time. We also discuss common medication options, how they work, and how medication and therapy can be used together to support recovery.

Generalized anxiety disorder isn’t just “overthinking”—it’s persistent, hard-to-shut-off worry that can affect sleep, focus, relationships, and overall well-being. In this episode, we talk about how GAD presents, what’s happening beneath the surface, and the therapeutic and medication-based treatments that can bring real relief.

In our very first episode, we introduce ourselves, share our educational paths, and talk about what led us into our careers in mental health. We also share how we met and why we believe bringing both perspectives together makes for an honest, meaningful mental health podcast.
