Consultant psychiatrist Dr Mark Cross knows a lot about anxiety. Many of his patients experience anxiety, which is hardly surprising, because anxiety is the most common mental-health condition in Australia, affecting up to one in four people at some point in their lives. But Mark also knows about anxiety from another perspective, because he too has suffered from it all his life.
In Anxiety, one of the many free audiobooks available on the ABC listen app, Dr Mark Cross demystifies anxiety in his trademark warm and friendly style which is the perfect listen for when you're feeling the effects of lockdown.
If you've had more vivid dreams and nightmares during this global pandemic, you'll want to give this episode of All in the Mind a listen. A multinational study is set to find out how COVID-19 is affecting our dreams, and whether changes to our inner consciousness could affect our mental health.
Sometimes the best way to relax your mind is to chill out or mediate with some relaxing sounds. We recommend saving Nature Track for those moments.
