Remember way back when you were a kid and life was simple, or at least simple--er? The good ole days, right? Well, unlike your days as a young'un, today your faced with lots of distractions. Nothing is simple anymore. In fact, I'd say that much of your life's simplicity has been taken away by all the distractions that anxiety throws at you. Distraction has steered you away from seeing the big picture, which has probably also caused your anxiety to grow stronger than it needs to be. So today I want to talk to you about four things that
The 7 Best Anxiety Comedies of All Time

Millions of people have problems with anxiety and depression. In fact, almost everyone alive will go through some kind of mental health issue during their lifetime. That's why it's no surprise that Hollywood has produced tons of movies depicting characters with psychological issues. Because on some level we can all relate. We've all been there so to speak. The other thing is,
The Connection Between Anxiety and Depression
photo credit: dailyinvention In this episode of the Anxiety Guru Show I explore the connection between anxiety and depression. I also talk about what you can do to cope with both of them.

Anxiety and depression in some ways are joined at the hip. So that
Speaking of Anxiety
What's the secret recipe to curing abnormal anxiety? Well. If you've spent anytime on this site than you probably already have a good idea. But given that its taken me almost three years to amass that information, it could take you awhile to dig into it all. So today I got a time saver for you. On December 7, 2010 I gave my first interview. In it, I talk about what I think are the most effective ways to overcome abnormal anxiety. I did the interview for a Canadian organization called Shepell fgi. It was the biggest conference call
Panic Attack Survival Guide
Every time that you've had a panic attack you've probably felt like you were going to die. Maybe you've also thought that your panic attacks were going to cause insanity but, it hasn't happened. And, it never will. However, that doesn't stop you from thinking that it will every time panic strikes.

Is Marijuana Good for Anxiety?
Today I want to talk to you about pot. But lest you think that I'm some closet stoner that wants to promote marijuana use. Trust me , this isn't coming out of the blue. Paul Dooley just isn't that spontaneous. The whole marijuana thing is a pretty big issue right now in my home state of California.

Something like 46% of Californians voted in favor of

The Stone Age Origins of Anxiety
You ever wonder why you feel out of control sometimes when you're anxious? Almost like a primitive being or something? Well, it's because -- at your core -- you're still a caveman/woman. Think about it, if you take away your house, car, iPod, cell phone, and all your other modern gizmos, you're nothing more than a semi-hairless ape, albeit a good looking one. See, in the past 200,000 years humans haven't changed all that much. In fact, with the exception of some major behavioral adaptions about 50,000 years ago, we're fundamentally

Panic almost killed me one night. At least that's how I felt at the time. That was more than ten years ago now, but man did that night change my life. You see, way back before I met my beautiful wife I had started dating this other nice young lady. This charming damsel had invited me to a small get together, and like a sucker, I went. By now I was already fully engulfed by nervous illness, but I went anyway because well... what can I say, I was blinded by the potential of it all. So off we went in a small yellow hatchback car that was
