Episode 58: A's for Anxiety - w/ Dr. Shavonne Moore-Lobban

Building on previous conversations about mental health, today’s episode focuses on a specific issue that is becoming increasingly prevalent among millennials and women—anxiety. We have a discussion about the condition with Dr. Shavonne Moore Lobban, a licensed psychologist and the Director of Clinical Training at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Washington DC. We begin by discussing the differences between stress and anxiety (24:44) and the unexpected ways that anxiety might manifest itself (29:50). We then have a conversation about anxiety on college campuses (36:00), how individuals can help manage their condition (46:40), and how friends and family can help support a loved one experiencing anxiety (52:53). We close by having a discussion about how celebrities, such as Charlamagne Tha God and Kanye West, impact larger conversations about mental health (55:19) and anxiety among people of color (1:13:40).
