Managing Fear for Long-term Health

 

Fear has been Used as a Tool Throughout History to Control People.

Today on Medicine On Call, Dr. George starts the show commenting on on a drug that is coming out that controls fear called Phobias. Phobias is a drug that treats panic attacks and anxiety disorders. Sometimes fear is a good thing, we need it to protect ourselves but she wonders how this drug can be used against us. Can the government use the drug to control more people, to condition us to be more obedient?  

Mental health is very important to be a well balanced and stable person. Everyone needs to find a form of stress release in their lives or it will build up and that person will start to breakdown. Dr. George depends on her spirituality for peace of mind. She urges us to find that point of peace in our lives and use it to conquer fear rather than let it control us. Find ways to empower yourselves and don’t let the government control you with fear.

“Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out”.
