Feeling like anxiety is a pushy roommate you never invited—but can't kick out?

In episode #142 of Happy and Healthy Mind, Dr. Rozina Lakhani and Dr. P reveal the five science-backed lines of defense that can help you calm your anxious brain and reclaim your peace of mind.

Whether you’ve tried breathing exercises, therapy, or supplements and still feel stuck, this episode offers practical, research-based strategies—and a whole lot of hope.

Learn how to build your personal anxiety-defense toolkit so you can feel calmer, more connected, and confidently in control.

🎯 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why anxiety isn’t just one big monster—and why it takes more than one solution.
• The power of connection: How relationships (including the furry kind!) can regulate your nervous system.
• Therapeutic approaches decoded: CBT, ACT, exposure therapy, mindfulness, and more.
• Green Pharmacy: Natural options like magnesium, L-theanine, ashwagandha, omega-3s, and herbal teas—and what the science says about them.
• Understanding medications: From SSRIs to beta blockers—how they work, who they help, and what to consider.
• When more advanced treatments are needed—and why there’s still hope.

💡 Key Takeaways:
