But you don't need a formal diagnosis to feel the crush of this problem. Gallup reports that Americans are among the most stressed out people in the world-and that was before COVID-19 shuttered our economy! This stress impacts every aspect of our daily lives: how we eat, sleep, move, work, and interact with the people we love. Most important, it affects how we feel about ourselves. Studies show that the worse we feel about ourselves, the more stressed we become. After a while, that sustained stress and low self-esteem crystalizes into depression and anxiety. It's a vicious cycle. And this cycle is preventable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHOW THIS BOOK WILL HELP \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrounded in proven therapy techniques and written by an expert, Unconditional provides a 21-day program to break the stress, depression, and anxiety cycle for good.
