Josh Fletcher and Drew Linsalata
About this episode

Drew and Josh take a whistle-stop tour of some of the most common forms of anxiety disorder.

In this episode Josh and Drew talk about:

  • Panic Disorder
  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder
  • Agoraphobia/Monophobia
  • OCD
  • Health Anxiety
  • Social Anxiety

This episode also answers the question, "Is it normal to be afraid when thinking about or planning anxiety recovery?"
