As someone finishing their Masters and beginning a Ph.D in clinical Psych next year, Dr. Marks you've been a blessing to my studies and understanding of mental health. As I've shared before you were one of my motivators pursue a terminal degree. Thank you 🙂
Oh Rodney that makes me feel so good! Congratulations on finishing your Masters and starting your Ph.D. It's a long road, but it's so worth it and hopefully you'll enjoy the process. When you start to get tired of the trek, just keep your eye on the prize. The world needs you, now more than ever. 👍🏽😊
Same someone who just completed their Master’s program interview, I’m proud of you!!! I’m hoping to get into an MS psych program before going into a PhD program. Wishing you the best of luck in your journey!
When I was in my late teens, I started to get frequent panic attacks. (I had them during lunch time as a kid, too, so I guess that they were frequent then.) I didn't even know about anxiety disorder and panic attacks until I was freakin' 27. I started taking Xanax, but I always took really low doses for fear of addiction and all. But the #1 thing that helped me big-time was getting rid of a crap diet and switching to 8-10 servings of veggies every day. My excessive sweating stopped and my nervous gut went away completely! Learning about gut health has really helped out!
You're not alone with that Jonathan. If you watch the news for too long, you can really feel bleak about the future. Hang in there. Sending love and positive thoughts your way.
@@DrTraceyMarks mine is financial work and school. I struggled mentally as a teen as well and now see the difference with anxiety. The anxiety made me from time to time run or slightly jog. I suffered PTSD and was not diagnosed for almost 10 years.
@@DrTraceyMarks Mine has more to do with finding work and providing for myself. I had a really bad start in life. I had ADHD on top of dyslexia so school was hellish for me. I got little support in school to the point I reached the age of 15 and was illiterate. I couldn't read or write they had to pay for two years of top notch private to catch me up. I did really well there averaged 80 and 90 on my tests. Then they sent me back to public school were I floundered then just dropped out. So I have not worked in over 10 years and my job prospects are dismal. And all jobs I have had have bin pretty awful including cleaning the inside of a slaughterhouse my first job. So now I am racking my brain for what I can do to make money so I am not destitute. I'm OK right now but soon I will have to move on so my aging parents can sell there home. They need to done size for there own good. So now I feel trapped with no way out of this situation. It's kind hard not to feel a little pissed off that someone else screwed up my education and now I have little hope of a happy outcome
You are in the victim mode right now, forgive your parents and break out of the attachment with your mind story called your life. Read Echart Tolle book.
Without hesitating, I just ordered mine! Thank you! I've been working a long time on my stuff. I always heard that I was too anxious, but had no tools and nobody gave me one. Now, I have some and it's time to get deeper. For all those struggling, you can see in the comments, you are not alone !
Anxiety has been killing my life lately even went to Hawaii to heal naturally and was spun out miserable to where I couldn’t even concentrate even in Hawaiian paradise was a massive eye opener how it doesn’t matter where you are….it goes right there with you! 😣
Dr. Marks, I recently discovered that a good half of my anxiety is not actually anxiety, but is justified behavior where I simply do not want to do something. For example - in childhood and teenage years I was constantly forced to do things I did not want to do, even eat or go somewhere. Now I feel like I force myself to do things I do not want to do as a habit, and that gives me the anxiety. Another words, it is not the event that gives me the anxiety, it’s the fact that I force myself to do something I don’t want to do.
As someone who's been a religious viewer and an enjoyer of your videos, i know for sure that your book is gonna be great. I can't wait to get my hands on it and manage my anxiety better. I'M SO EXCITED!! ❤️
Dr Tracey I’m a soon to be Psychiatric Mental Health NP. And recently self diagnosed me with Bipolar 2 disorder after living hell with a narcissistic mother and never knowing what was wrong with me. I started doing therapy with an amazing psychologist at my work. He confirmed my self diagnosis but also told me that I suffer of anxiety. Now I’m Anxious about the new diagnosis because I feel trap with my mother and my emotions. 🤪❤️🩹🤷🏽♀️ I appreciate all your videos very much as a patient and as a professional. I wish I could be closer to learn from your practice 😊 looking forward to get this book. Long and productive life to you! Blessings 💞
I can't remember the last time I've been so excited to receive news. There aren't enough thank you's in the world to give you for publishing this book. I've come back to your videos so many times over the years trying to piece together what's happening with me, figure out what I'm going to therapy or a psychiatrist for, and finally make sustainable treatment/management routines for my PDD. To have all this information in one book to revisit whenever will make it so much easier to share info with my loved ones also. Thank you so much!
Best over the counter supplements for anxiety, they are effective, Gaba, taurine,with b6 lastly magnesium, you can get them at most health food stores. No side effects !
I’m buying this book! I just had 8 major life tragedies happen to myself and my adult children in 8 days. I have GAD and PTSD but have never been treated for it. They always want to give antidepressants which make my symptoms worse. I’m not depressed! I’m actually a fun-loving person. I’ve had people tell me if I went through what you did I would have taken my own life. I prefer natural medicine over drugs. Meditation has helped me in the past. I work with emotionally disturbed students and students on the autism spectrum. I have learned so much from your videos. You’re truly a gift to an anxious world.
so sorry to hear and cannot even imagine what you've been through... I have been through 3 life tragedies ( + fear of the pandemic) last year and also have ptsd and gad :(
To get the bonus guide go to GetYourPreorder.com You can order the book from that page, or you can order from Amazon, then upload your receipt at GetYourPreorder.com If you want to head straight to Amazon go to DrMarksAnxietyBook.com It's also available on Amazon UK www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Am-Anxious-Recognizing-Restoring/dp/0744057043/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2YINACRAB7M30&keywords=why+am+i+so+anxious&qid=1652293201&sprefix=why+am+i+do+anxiou%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-1
I have severe depression and anxiety. I csnt afford a doctor or anything like that. Your videos help me more than you know... but lately my anxiety and depression and fear of it all happening again. So I guess it's starting to manifest into anger and isolation. I've always had anxiety but life seems like it's besting me at every turn. The untreated ADHD symptoms doesn't exactly help either. I just feel like a lost cause to be honest.
adhd isnt really adhd, adhd anxiety is basically the same you can hear sounds and stuff that isn't yours. learn to take all that noise and make it yours
Aaron, you are not a LOST CAUSE. You maybe challenged with anxiety and depression, like so many of us are. But NEVER think of yourself of having no VALUE. THINKING POSITIVE ABOUT YOURSELF WILL HELP YOUR SELF-ESTEEM. Helping others has helped me to get out more as well as my overall value as a person. Volunteering is a good way to distract yourself from ruminating. I hope this helps. Know that life is worth living.
You ain't got to tell me twice! Pre-order DONE! But in all seriousness, I am therapist (LCSW) and I've been encountering more and more existential dread than ever before. I cannot wait to read and learn from your perspective.
Thanks so much Marvin. I’ve been seeing a lot of that lately too. No doubt a product of COVID, political unrest and war. We’ve got a lot to deal with. 😊
Existential dread is for lucky people. Those of us who had to escape dangerous families could teach a whole course in how to ignore what is around you and plan for your own survival . No luxury of worrying about the future or about other people. I envy people who are so secure that they can worry about the planet instead of survival.
Congratulations on the book! I just ordered mine and submitted for the bonus feature. I have a feeling I will be ordering more copies of your book as gifts for various family members over the next year or so. As so many have already said, you have been a godsend for so many of us over the years and this book sounds equally amazing. You are making such a positive difference in so many lives and we appreciate you!
Dr Tracey, I love watching your videos, you're a very pretty lady. As my mental health has gotten a lot better, I still like to watch you and see what outfit choices you'll make in the next video! I'm very proud of myself, my anxiety is very much under control! It's been a long struggle for me I used to have anxiety so bad I couldn't leave the house and that lasted almost 4 years. That seems to be behind me permanently. Can't know the future, but it seems like that problem is is over. Your calm and precise speech makes it easy for me to understand even when my brain is swimming around and scattered. You're definitely number one in the RU-vid mental health genre. Commenting as I watch. Congrats on the new book Dr Tracey! 🎊 that's going straight in my Amazon cart! I'll check to see if I have money later but I'll read anything you publish.
Hey there so good to see you! I'm so glad things are better for you. What to wear on camera is a thing. I'm not a good shopper (because I'm always working on something). So I use this service where you can rent clothes because I ran out of new clothes a couple of years ago.😀 Thanks for your support with my book. I hope you find it useful if not interesting.
@@DrTraceyMarks I can't tell if this lovely outfit is rented or not, but you also wore it in a couple of videos about a year ago (the one about the differences between atypical/classic bipolar disorder and the one with the telltales of depression) and I remember thinking to myself "what a great outfit!". Anyway, you are always so elegant!
@@p.dimopoulou5529 Wow you are good! You're right. This is not rented, it's my own because my Nuuly package hadn't arrived yet and I needed to film. LOL! But this is what I mean. People notice when you wear the same thing. So that's why I resorted to the rental service. I imagine that people on television do the same thing otherwise they would have a packed closet. 😊
You are truly phenomenal Dr. Marks and we all sincerely appreciate you, your story, your journey, your passion, your expertise, your empathy and compassion and all of your hard work and throughly helpful videos! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to buy your book! Congratulations!
Dr Tracy: I've been very isolated and lonely most of the time, basically since 2020. I have things to accomplish but I just feel depressed and unmotivated because everyday there's not one friend I can call to go out for a coffee, a conversation. Do you have any video that talks about this? If not, can you do one how how to cope with loneliness?
Hello Dani,don't you have people to chat with? I know that isn't much,but better than not having anyone at all. You can begin to go to the coffee shop by yourself and seeing others doing their thing could gradually affect you for good. I hope you get much better soon. Loneliness isn't such a good place to be,I know because I have been there.. Stay well.
I think she does have at least one video dealing with loneliness. If you go to her home page, you can search her channel for videos with 'loneliness' in the title.
1:16 I chuckled at this one 😂, I really appreciate the self disclosure, makes you relatable in a tangible and specific way instead of just saying "We all struggle with anxiety sometimes."
I share your videos in my general psychology class all the time. I often refer you to psych students who want to major in clinical psychology. Thanks for being you and doing what you do.
Anxiety is very complex and different for everyone. A book is probably a good place to seek why an individual is anxious in the first place. Or therapy if it's financially feasible.
Thank you for all the videos including this one. I wake up like a fireman getting a call every morning, like im always on emergency mode. Very exhausting have tried so many meds thinking about asking for the benzos and calling it a day. Anxiety and myself have robbed me of so many opportunities in life i feel. Ill have to scoop this up.
Dr Marks I am so glad that you as a psychiatrist have written this book. We need doctors like you to explain these things clearly. Thank you. I am going to order this book now
Love the fluency in your speech. The way you introduce information is second to none. I thought this was an ad listening and not knowing your video was on. 😁
As usual, Dr Tracey Marks, u r absolutely fabulous. Not a word wasted, sharp & to the point, great presentation skills. As a person who's suffered from anxiety fr 40 years or more, i find ur videos really useful. Plz keep it up.
Congrats on your new book! I'm so impressed by the content that you have shared in this video. It sounds like a great resource! Best wishes to you on the launch. Love your channel!
Finding your channel made my life better. LITERALLY. Im getting to know my self better. A Dr. tryed to just push meds on me that almost made my brain unfunctional, i saw that and changed therapy with a decent professional thanks to you in some kind of way, so THANKS ! A LOT !
I'm grateful for your work and for the progress being made regarding the methods of treatment offered to help manage anxiety. In 2004, at age 24 I had major anxiety as I was completely overwhelmed, just starting my teaching career and still in limbo from extensive trauma I'd experienced years before. During the first visit, a psychiatrist put me on 3 very strong medications (klonopin, lexapro and propranolol) and only saw me a handful of times. I was dependent on klonopin for years before I decided that a more natural / spiritual route was best for me. I'm so grateful that despite how challenging it can be to manage anxiety, there's now a plethora of options / solutions and methods so easily available to us, to treat this beast so many of us have experienced. We have the power to discover what works best for us - no more... "one prescription fits all" 💯🙏🏽I look forward to purchasing my copy!
What a story - but unfortunately its a common one. I've seen many folks stuck on Klonopin. I'm glad you were able to get off, but you're right it's still work to keep things manageable. Thanks for your support with the book. I hope you find it helpful.
honestly.... I dont usually pay attention to ANYONE asking me to preorder or buy anything on the web. HOWEVER, Dr. Marks has so much credibility with me that I kind of stopped the video to link it to Amazon so I can pre-order it. First time for everything.
It’s hard living with ADHD,Social Anxiety and BPD. I can’t even enjoy spending time with my family. I feel like the black sheep of the family but I know one day i’ll get better and so will you. Never give up and picture the person you want to be and become him/her.
May I ask what your taking? I’ve tied Zoloft and lexapro. Gave me insomnia. I take lorazepam only if I have a panic attack coming on. Sometimes my mood really fluctuates.
@@lynstrawberry5645 I'm taking Effexor. I'm very slim and started with 150mg which was way too much. Now I'm at 75mg and it's amazing how much better I feel and can cope with life. I've looked up many people that are on it or have tried it. It depends on the person for sure! Goodluck with everything going forward! 🙏❤
Pre-ordered and honestly can't wait. You've been such a great teacher and guide through all these concepts and have helped inspire me towards going into therapy. Thank you for another great tool to use!
sold, lady! i've watched all of 3 or 4 of your videos to date and during each one i say "yes! you see me! that's me! you get me! that explains me!" and what i learn from you is so helpful. thank you for that. i'm feeling much better now with medication, so to those reading comments and still struggling, be encouraged to take steps to alleviate or overcome your anxiety and/or other issues! you can do it! and don't wait!
Dr.Tracy, Whoa! You have been amazing me for years.After 2 years in almost complete isolation, while dealing with a NPD relative attempted to self help by rewriting my parents will pretending I was either dead or incompetent . All the while going off benzodiazepines after 20+ years of daily use; the content of your book is on my mind 24/7//360+ 60 days. I know your new book is going to be “A runaway bestseller “for months AND a benchmark in the way the world will understand Psych med use! 🎉😂 ❤😅 Bravo! Take your bow! CONGRATULATIONS 🎈 😊 You deserve it !!! Yeah Dr.Tracy!🥰💕😁
I,m very excited about the book, i will order it today- i found it in many book stores here in Romania, that shows how popular and loved you are. CONGRATULATIONS for your great accomplishment, writing and publishing your book.
When I finished watching the playlist on anxiety disorders, I thought I had all the information I could get, but as expected of you, your creativity is an ongoing process of education and simplification about mental health. Your good student
centralized control via telecommunications through electronics which receive and omit FM radio frequencies that have a direct effect on our emotions depending on what frequency is utilized (8)hz is migraine inducing , 10-15 is anxiety.....
I love that you provide holistic methods. I have used oils for anxiety and sleep issues. Very effective. You just need to find what oils/scent speaks to you
I have been struggling helping my 9 yr old daughter to get through up until now I had nothing.. I look forward to this book.. Iam thankful I stumbled upon ur videos!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for helping me understand my condition and to not be so combative with my own Dr. You're videos have helped me understand his years of practice and trust my treatment more. It took time but, thanks again.
Can you also make videos on off label treatments for anxiety? The truth is only 60 percent show any response to anti-depressant treatment. To get over the symptoms you need to add antipsychotics and other off-label medications. The trail and error is a long process and needs lot of patience. Off-label meds for anxiety.
Love your channel. I love your straight-forward, wholesome, non-judgmental, educational, thorough and simple approach with the way you educate others. Thanks for your work ❤
Just preordered! I have been watching your videos over the past few months during a particularly difficult time and multiple anxiety disorder diagnoses - your insight has been so helpful and comforting. I cannot wait to read the book and have the tools at my disposal!
I just pre-ordered the book! Your videos have been amazing to me. I have so much I want to say, but all I’ll say for now is thank you. You’re really a light. Ordering your book was a no-brainer because of all the value you provided throughout your videos over the last few years.
Dr Tracey is the only psychiatrist I'll listen to, I don't do all that psychobabble stuff and I'm not into heavy meds that kill my bipolar creativity and my spiritual awareness. Dr Tracy has the science, she's an educated professional, the pharmaceutical knowledge to know when those are needed and how to use them, and she *also* has an interest in health, nutrition, vitamins, minerals, supplements, lifestyle changes: the things that I'm interested in that work for me. Most mental health professionals are dead set on meds and the ones they like best and get frustrated with people who don't want to take them, or they're the extreme opposite hippy dippy New age crystals and oils. Dr Tracey is a balanced intelligent and compassionate woman.
I have PTSD, anxiety, and panic disorder... I've been on antidepressants my whole life with anti anxiety meds, and recently I've been having delusions and am on an antipsychotic now that has regulated my mood a loooooooooooot...
For the past year I have been sick with health anxiety and depression ,but the last 6 months am been doing reiki hearing and it's been helping tremendously cause felt like I was dying before the reiki therapy
And just when we thought she had it all there's another chapter! Phenomenal!!! Sold. You've helped me over the past 4 years with my BPD, panic, PTSD and trauma. What an amazing book you've created!! You really went all the way. I like that your not just promoting yourself but really care about helping others. Getting one for me and my BFF. This book can't come soon enough!!!
Thanks so much Barbara! I feel like you can see right through me. I've been trying to make a difference in people's lives for a long time now. It makes me so happy to know mission accomplished. ❤️
I never knew or heard of the term "existential anxiety". But at 47, I definitely suffer from this. Not married, no kids, no mate in sight, lonely, stressful job that I love but leaves me exhausted.
Oh how I wish I'd seen this before August 16, but that's okay - I'm just going to be stoked that one book can give me so much incredible knowledge. You're amazing! You go way above and beyond to help others and it's extremely impressive! Thank you so much Dr. Marks!
As someone who has struggled with anxiety for over 30 years I write from experience. Anxiety means: I need to be somewhere else. I need to be under control. I need a change of venue. Anxiety happens when one’s mind becomes too aware of life in terms of an existential crisis - which it is. The ultimate form anxiety takes on is that of an anxiety attack. It’s a vicious cycle wherein one spins around the concept of one’s own demise with an ever increasing intimacy and a certainty that the end is at hand. Whatever else it is, anxiety is anything _but_ abnormal. It’s been with us since before recorded history, and it isn’t going away anytime soon. It’s the mind doing what it evolved to do; that is, find problems and then solve them.
@@XxxJaneXxx Oh that's wonderful. The bipolar handbook is a compilation of my youtube videos, but I wanted to make the information more easily accessible instead of needing to search videos. This book is written from scratch and much more comprehensive.
Homeopathy cured my decades long anxiety. I took Ignatia Amara for suppressed grief. Boy did I have a lot of grief I'd never dealt with. Now, I can't even believe how jumpy I was before the homeopathy.
The coolest Doctor around!!! If i wasnt in the other extreme of the continent i would buy Dr. Tracey's book for sure and of course i would go to her clinic. Sadly i'm so far away all i can do is to support her RU-vid channel. Thank you doc for all the info, help and work you do for all of us. You deserve all the success!! 🎉🎉🎉
@@DrTraceyMarks thank you for the reply Dr. !! I'm from the south part of Chile (South America) so i'm on the south of the south in the south, it is quite hard to get things from other countries in here, but if i ever get the chance, theres no doubt i would buy it!! My best wishes to you, and thank you again for helping so many people (including myself) through your videos
I think I have always had anxiety, looking back on my younger years. But I had one experience in the dentist chair having a long procedure. The Dentist gave me a lot of novocaine. This made my heart begin to beat harder and faster. And there is where I had my first full blown panic attack. It was absolutely horrible. And it followed me for about 6 years. Every time I had even the most slight feeling of “difference” i,e; strong coffee, medication, etc. it sent me right back to that same moment of what felt like “impending doom”. It took me a long time, psychological help, Prozac and identifying my triggers. I am not completely out of it, but I am so much better. It had taken over 15 years, but I am so much better now. You hit nail on head! “Health anxiety” any time I begin to feel differently. It sends me. I go to the sink and begin cold water on my face, drinking it in, and focusing on breathing until it passes. Anxiety has almost overwhelmed my life. I stay close to God, and pray on the fears. Sounds like I need your book! Thank you, Doctor!
Wow. Thank you Doc, This book provides so much information on anxiety. This is so Interesting. I need this book as resource in my professional library 😊
you are so smart and beautiful. thank you for taking the time to articulate and create such well edited videos. you have been a big help, i'm a huge fan. ❤
WOW Dr. Tracey, I'm loving your look on this vid! 🔥 I can tell you're really excited about this book, I am too! I've suffered anxiety since I can remember, but like you said I didn't realise until I was an adult. It manifests itself as skin picking and lip biting and I've been desperately trying to stop for a long time. You really are a blessing to this world Dr. Tracey! Thank you for writing a book for us.
