Anxiety Support Group
In the offline world an anxiety support group can give many people a great deal of help. One of the principal features of these groups is that they are private and confidential, a safe place for Anxiety Disorder sufferers to go for support. In the online world an anxiety support group is another matter. Whilst there are forums and chat groups many of these are relatively open and prey to both spammers and the unscrupulous.
With the advent of Anxiety Talk Now this has changed and there is now a safe online home for anxiety sufferers which offers not only the support of your peers, but also guidance from people qualified to help. Alongside that is a wealth of information to help towards a recovery from anxiety related disorders.
Anxiety related conditions are now at epidemic proportions and most offline help is overstretched, inaccessible, ineffectual and long-winded to say the least. The success rate of curing anxiety disorders using medication and talking therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is low and most health organizations have a policy of ‘maintaining' clients, rather than curing them.
A new and innovative initiative has brought about the birth of a members only community for anxiety, OCD, agoraphobia, panic attacks and PTSD sufferers, launched by a consortium of experts in the field of anxiety and panic disorders.
Anxiety Talk Now provides sufferers with an access point to a safe community as well as access to high quality written, audio and video material. There is a well run, secure forum which is supported by specialists and psychologists as well as knowledgeable and experienced experts in the field of anxiety elimination. The aim is that members will be able to make friends, swap advice and support in a safe and secure environment with the added advantage of professional support.
Supported by psychologists, counselors, academics and former sufferers, Anxiety Talk Now is a portal for people who want to escape from the counter-productive misinformation currently available when surfing the web, and which in many cases does little but fuel sufferer's anxiety levels.
Sally Green. Owner and developer of www.anxietytalknow.com says, "The Internet is a vital source of quality information, but there is no doubt that it is also a breeding ground for misinformation, and even more dangerously for anxiety sufferers, the ability to 'self diagnose', which rarely ends in an accurate diagnosis but often causes the sufferer to believe they are dying of some horrible disease. Our 'gated community' allows a sufferer to gain the most up to date information and support whilst interacting with people of like mind. Nothing else like it exists on the Internet and we are certain that the portal will become the most frequented and respected Internet anxiety resource".
The nature of the Internet means that it is not easy to spot the difference between clever marketing and a good program with the result that people looking for help fall prey to a cleverly marketed, poorly researched ebook rather than a well structured program which is backed up by qualified support staff on hand to provide help and assistance when needed, and which is endorsed by respected medical practitioners and researchers.
The intent is that Anxiety Talk Now will keep vulnerable anxiety sufferers safe by providing everything they need under one roof. It is a groundbreaking concept. There is no online anxiety support group which is quite like it to our knowledge and it is well worth a visit - http://www.anxietytalknow.com
