We present the first of two episodes in the lead-up to Antony’s upcoming milestone birthday. The main part of this episode features extracts from the first two sections of Matt Haig’s excellent and popular 2015 book ‘Reasons To Stay Alive’.
This profound, readable and sometimes humorous book details Haig’s recovery from ‘a sustained bout of anxiety and depression’, and Antony interjects with (hopefully useful) observations and ideas for containment of negative feelings and emotions.
This is preceded by a look at anxiety and depression in terms of definitions, causes, symptoms and possible treatments.
We hope you enjoy the show! If so, please subscribe, like, share etc...
