ARP 247 - Benzodiazepines Medications for Anxiety Symptoms

Medication is one, but not the only treatment option when it comes to anxiety. In this episode, a description of what Benzodiazepines Medication are, some of the names and resources to check out.    In housekeeping news, thank you all that have stuck with me. I found out that the new software and microphone I was using  had a distortion.    I couldn't hear it on my side but I was checking an episode on a podcasting app and oooh, not what I intended. If you didn't hear the distortion, I'm glad.    If you did then I'm really sorry.    I'll find a solution. Seem like the story of my life. Find the problem. Find the solution.
