Answer
Hello Abhishek,


   Anxiety can be a habit! The key is to figure out what initiates the anxiety and change your thought processes. Lucinda Basset has a program on CD with phone/Internet support www.stresscenter.com is the website. I had several patients use her program with great success, acupuncture can help in conjunction with the program to reduce mental and physical stress.

Have a great day,
