How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Anxiety?
Mainstream medicine's approach to anxiety is a screening form and a prescription.
Racing mind? SSRI. Can't sleep? Add a second med. Still wired? Therapy waitlist and "manage it." The feeling gets labeled. Why the nervous system will not stand down often does not.

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Anxiety?
Commonly missed root causes of anxiety include blood sugar crashes, thyroid swings, gut signals, and a body stuck in fight-or-flight.
Anxiety has a root cause. The alarm is real. Sometimes the brain is reacting to blood sugar crashes, a thyroid swing, a gut signal, or a body that has been stuck in fight-or-flight for years. A medication can turn the volume down. It does not tell you what keeps pulling the fire alarm.
The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. Why is your alarm stuck on?
