- Anxiety has reached epidemic rates in Western society. Most professionals simply try to manage it, primarily through medication. Psychotherapist and author Mel Schwartz shares his perspective on both the cause and the solution to this mass disquiet. He proposes that anxiety is often due to our relationship with our thoughts. These are thoughts that are perpetually seeking certainty. The more we try to know the future - which is of course unknowable - the more fearful and and anxious we feel. Mel demonstrates how to shift our relationship with uncertainty and embrace the unknown, freeing us from the grip of anxiety. Anxiety has reached epidemic rates in Western society.

The biggest problem I see in anxiety sufferers and the connection to the need for certainty is that it stems from deeply rooted beliefs based around safety. Certainty + familiarity = safety, whereas uncertainty + unfamiliarity = unsafe. This formula is deeply rooted within the subconscious mind and many anxiety sufferers would rather stuff the emotions connected to the emotionally traumatic memory within the cells of their body aside, rather than investigate them further because again, this is the familiar response to something that doesn't feel right. It's a truly challenging place to be, to struggle with anxiety and I should know I've been there many years before finding relief. What I can say though is that there is much more evidence that supports the idea that it's safe to look our inner challenges in the eyes, confront them, shift the perceptions over them, and act on them rather than listen to irrational thoughts based on one or a few experiences. Much love to every warrior out there, give this comment a thumbs up if you're on your way to freedom.
Dennis thanks for the insight.
Sukanya l Glad it helped. ❤️
you are a master at what you do and must reach others in need of real help.
This is EXACTLY the root of my anxiety... accompanied with a fear of “loosing control”. How do I get rid of it?
Yes this is an excellent post.
Great message about how to overcome anxiety. I become anxious many times just like most of you here but I manage to stop it before starting to ruin my daily activities and job. I think anxiety starts when you want to live your future before happens and usually you imagine things before happens and create your own reality in mind and live it before the moment come. The best thing you can do is to focus on the present because this is all we have and not hurry the days to come. We have to be more patience and live the moment as it is and stay in the place we are right now not wishing to be somewhere else. Most of the time we want to be in a different place than we are at this moment and when we are there we want to change it. When we realize that we are right where we have to be anxiety will go away and we cannot feel it because anxiety is not in the present moment,it is only a mind game usually in the past or future.
If you can manage your anxiety then you have control over it, that's good for you. Sufferers of severe anxiety don't have control, that's the reason we suffer and why life became difficult for us. I had a brilliant job. I was a high-achiever. Don't ever think that people who suffer with anxiety are lazy, non-focused, unreliable etc. It's the opposite in my opinion. It's usually the burn-out that does it.
Amazing comment. Basically summarises it for me, and overlaps with the insights in the video. Have you just actively started reminding you of that fact?
This comment is so on point! 👌 although for me, the fear of failure is my biggest problem 🙈
@@sonnenblume9528 The only failure is in not trying. The notion of failure is a constructed concept. You just haven't yet succeeded.
Well said
Mel, another wonderful article that makes complete sense. As someone who suffers from anxiety, it’s absolutely 100% linked to my thoughts and not knowing the future. This is a somewhat amazing revelation as I didn’t really think of my anxiety this way until reading through your book and articles. I’m hoping this revelation can be one of the first steps to “getting better!” Thanks for sharing all of your expert advice on this topic. You are helping lots of people out there!
That backdrop is giving me anxiety
Accepting the backdrop is the only way out. :)
Being an overly analytical person, this amazingly helped me instantly snap out of my sudden onset severe depression and anxiety. Fantastic viewpoint.
Adding one thought or mantra to your mind won't ever be enough to cure anxiety. Although uncertainty is certainly part of anxiety, it's not as simple as saying go away. It takes work and coping method every day to manage it. It's an overactive flight or fight response, you can't will that away. But you can work with it. I can calm down a lot of my anxiety just by planning for the worst case scenario, because then I don't need to know for sure what's going to happen. Even then with extreme anxiety I need something to calm down the overreaction in order to actually think of that plan to calm it the rest of the way. I don't need medication but I need some substance that will calm me enough, whether that is tea, CBD, or something else it doesn't matter. Fundimentally it's nurological, I can't will it away
this man is extraordinary,brought a tear to my eye and gave me purpose.
Thanks for this NO bs talk... no miracles or Shao Lin obscure advice... Accept uncertainty, yes, accept it... The rest is noise!
The best video i've ever seen! Great, thank you!
Probably the best guidance and information I have discovered on our relationship with anxiety. Thank you, so helpful and applicable.
It's been 3years and I still suffer my anxiety :( It ruined my life so much. I can't even do anything. I did stop my studies because of these. I can't go anywhere without bringing water. :'( And when I go outside I get panic attack :( now I'm afraid of everything. I want to be a normal person again. :( so hurt for me. I'm tired of these. :'( It really breaks my heart so much. from a happy person to sad. positive to negative. 😢
What have you tried to overcome anxiety?
Same here. Im afraid of drinking sodas eat Candy or even ice cream. I was addicted to a legal drug called snus and i had to quit because it cost to much and i have to be more healty. Im scared to get a heart attack because when you stop with nicotin your heart going crazy asf. Its been 2 mounths without snus and all nicotin is probebly gone in my body but all the fear is left. I eat almost no sugger or unhealty stuff because if i do i feel sick and bad. And it hurts. And my girlfriend wonder att my muscels is so stiff and stuff. And when im outside i feel kind of dizzy and sometimes my foot is going inside the ground. I dont wanna live like this. Im gonna see a doctor soon and i hope you get help too. Srry for my bad English
@@prizixz I understand u :(
What triggered your anxiety?
I am about to stop at my university as well. These are the last few days - I officially made the decision a few days ago - and honestly I feel so much better. Of course, I was filled with uncertainty but after talking about it I found out that the timing is right and everything seems to be falling into place.
Really enjoyed this one. Great talk - short, simple, effective.
Thanks that was an amazing talk

Connecting is the four step method (Connect, Listen, Trust, Act) that teaches you how to
disengage your mind to access the intuitive part of you, called your Self. In
the practice of Connecting, you learn how to connect to the Self. You eliminate
the feelings and emotions that come from the mind and keep you from having the
results for the life you want.
What about anxiety disorder because of obsessive compulsive disorder?
Shift the perception of them... wow, i like that. I hope i can. I hope i remember in the moment... T.Y.
Sounds like love for the moment mentality. Don't plan ahead.
Good advice, well worth listening. Very much on an Alan Watts themed philosophy.
Thank you, sir.
Wow amazing video, I understand the concept of anxiety now.
There are 2 types of anxiety
one that is real and the other that is not.
if we are anxious, we can validate our anxiety feeling with people who we think are successful and professionals like doctors, professors, or even those people whom we think really care for people as people. Make sure we survey from them as many as possible. Then, we would know it from there. Most of the time, we know our anxiety isn't real. It is just that we care too much of what others we think might say when we would just do normal things in life. We tend to care so much when we know we are not doing anything that may harm other people and that we ourselves won't judge if we find someone else had the worry like ours at that particular moment. Anxiety is there as our guidance to avoid situations that may cause trouble, pain and death but sometimes even I myself can have irrational anxiety or worries. So the best way to beat it is to acknowledge it, validate and take action with caution. Live and let live.
0:26. That ties in with the idea that, genetically, 25% of the population are the anxious type, 25% are the calm, easygoing type, and the remaining 50% are somewhere in-between or a mix of both.
Anyone else have constant dizzy sensation and it never goes away
i have medical anxiety its terrible i have a tone of physical symptoms
Just know that Jesus loves you and is watching over you :D
I had major health anxiety but Dennis on The Anxiety Guy youtube channel has been extremely helpful, he went through it and is now helping millions, its a must watch, he explains things perfectly with cbt and nlp methods.
Thanks Nick, I'll have a look
I have many physical symptoms with my anxiety aswell (headaches,nausea, dizziness, diarrhoea and back pain)
neeeded this
Lately I have been having extreme bouts of anxiously thinking about death and what happens when we die. These thoughts have been causing an extreme amount of fear to the point where I can barely get out of bed. All I can think about is myself, my children or someone I love dying and if we will all be together again on the “other side” or “heaven”😞 it’s like one day I just woke up and realized we are all going to die and this has brought an extreme amount of fear into my life. It’s debilitating me completely. Any thoughts or ways to deal with this?
Harrison Lee Thank you, it is very kind of you to reply 🙏 I’d really appreciate that
Soulhart11 I had a panic attack from this once. I came to know Christ and he transformed me. I still suffer from anxiety but there is joy in my life now rather than crippling anxiety. Jesus changed my life and I urge you to give Him a chance too. The spiritual realm exists and boy do I have stories. God bless
Schrute Farms I would love to speak to you about this🙏 If that’s possible maybe we can email each other? Or social media? Thank you for replying 🙏
I go through this every now and then, very scary
FIND JESUS
tedx cannot invest in descent sound in their videos ?
How I would describe my anxiety as it is like an electrical shock that doesn’t go away like a blender on full speed it doesn’t stop until everything on the inside is blended and turned to mush
I am anxious not to feel anxious, as if I lose my anxiety I will lose any danger awareness and be crossing streets with my eyes close enjoying fresh air a bit too much until I get hit by a car
Brilliant
Nowadays, people are using the term "anxiety" to describe being nervous or stressed. ANXIETY IS NOT BEING NERVOUS OR BEING STRESSED. It is fearing of going outside, fearing to have panic attacks etc.
Fear of going outside is a specific type of anxiety--agoraphobia.
Yes! There is a difference between GAD and specific phobias. I just want to stress, that anxiety nowadays in society is being used for minor things as well, which is not correct. “I have to give a presentation, I have anxiety.” This is in most cases is just physiological stress. Thanks in any case for the video! Its great :)
You have great presentation skills 👍
I see myself as a bag lady HOMELESS, and it’s I know is going to happen

There’s nothing new discussed here that isn’t used daily by most certified mental health professionals- it’s all associated with CBT which has its roots in stoicism. There are also aspects of Zen Buddhism as well which again is already part of mainstream methodology in psychotherapy today.
Melissa, I'd welcome meeting mental health professionals that explore how world views and embrace of uncertainty assist in overcoming anxiety. I'd really like to establish such a community. Can you provide me with some names?
Mel Schwartz well I mean there are so many people who have great training in CBT and DBT which teach those very skills you’re identifying. It’s pretty much the gold standard for psychotherapy today. The community is there and it’s made up of psychologists, LCSW’s,LMFT’s, LPC’s,and psychologists among others.
With so many people with anxiety why do I feel completely alone and alienated. Seems like I'd be finding a family of freaks like me...connection. Doesn't seem to work like this
your thoughts are imprisoning you. They are just thoughts
what if anxiety influences the relationship which is also a strong friendship at a time and is the only true factor that makes this bad?
Of course your anxiety impacts the relationship. They are intertwined.
so what then. how to overcome it?
If you're asking how to overcome your anxiety around the relationship, what is it that makes you fearful?
2:14 what is Pep Guardiola doing in here?
We HAVEN't acclimated to a new paradigm...that's why we HAVE anxiety. We are entrenched because we are constantly bombarded with assaults and freedom infringements from those around us and our society at large.
agreed.
I almost put the phone down and started clapping at the end of this video.
Anxiety has a genetic component. When you decide to deal with it you are up against generations of learned behavior. So take it easy on yourself - it’s not something you can out-think in a day.
I find that anxiety may be more a learned environmental characteristic than genetically determined.
Mel Schwartz Hi Mel. I have a theory on the genetic component and as someone with Severe OCD I believe the chemistry in my mind may have been shaped to behave a certain way by series of unfortunate events but the template for dealing with the stress was formed generations ago. If you have any type of podcast or maybe if you are in NY ever we could have coffee and discuss further. I will also respond here if you are game to explore our differences. Thanks for your response.
You aren't hard wired Rob. Neuroplasticity can free you from your template. Have you read Lipton's Biology of Beliefs?
Audio is terrible
GOD BLESS YOU
Wow
I've studied the reason for anxiety, and i've found it. It's Capitalism. Let's cut all the BS and stop lying ourselves. There is a elephant in the room. We need system change
Excess competition certainly exacerbates anxiety
Socialism has only worked in one country- the next one.

Internet in everyone's hands makes it so much more common. I thought I was alone 20 yrs ago
Although the relationship we have with our thoughts *_is_* important, it is false to say that it is the "most important relationship".
In truth, *_THE single most important relationship is the one we have with God: The Most Holy Trinity of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit._*
When that relationship is either inexistent or hurt by unforgiven sin, or when we don't fully and completely trust Him with our lives - especially our eternal lives, *_that_* is when Anxiety can become a stronghold in our lives and bring us down into the pit.
The key to overcoming anxiety is to be in right relationship with the One and only true God, and to fully and completely trust in Him.
It may be a struggle at times, but *FAITH in God is the answer to fear and anxiety.*
nothing is guaranteed in life not even tomorrow ! semething is too much handle hand it over to the lord of the word

" Those who find me find life, and the Lord will be pleased with them. " Proverbs 8:35
God is the answer. Man will always be anxious without God. But most people dont want to hear this because it doesnt suit their lifestyle.
God is as much a crutch as benzodiazepine drugs. A crutch doesn't address the root of the problem but it does make us feel good.
Sure, let's just run away from the anxiety and hopefully things somehow work out.
No effort in taking steps to work things out, let's just run away from anxiety and prescribe divorce for everyone.
I think you and I have very different ideas of what entails 'facing it directly'.
I think you missed my point.
Misleading title this video is 9 minutes
there is actually a cure to anxiety it is very simple, wanna hear it? Acceptance. Learn to LET GO of uncertainty in life and let go of control, take each day step by step and the universe will take care of the rest with or without your input
Delirious It's HOW to reach that point that is hard for some, like me.
It's very easy for me, but my poor husband is wrought with anxiety over "what's going to happen if/when......". He can hear these words but he can't put it into action.
Yeah I mean that’s exactly what the video is saying
Delirious unfortunately uncertainty & ambiguity inevitably causes stress and prolonged stress as a result of this causes anxiety. I do see you point however our modern lifestyles make it immensely difficult to let go as you say.
The problem is that each second you think of reasons that you must deal with this problem right now and right away otherwise if you let go and do nothing the consequences may be even worse for you.
I think anxiety is caring too much about what will happen to you or what people think of you. That’s been my experience with anxiety anyway. I get so worked up about what may happen because I think it matters absolutely. I build things way up and give them way too much importance. I’m not saying I have a cure for anxiety or that I’ve conquered it because I haven’t. But it’s just a theory of mine. Next time you’re in a the grip of an anxiety attack, just tell yourself that you’re caring too much and see what happens. See if it subsides or not. It may or it may not. Just something to try.
I think we give things way too much value.
Anxiety is about fear of uncertainty and alos our thought's relentless measuring of ourselves.
Adam H i like you post
Your anxiety is not a problem it’s you you have to want to calm down
Spot on.
this took away like 70 percent of my anxiety just now i just thought to myself " stop caring so much " and my anxiety went way down . thank you for this
After watching countless talks and reading countless books on anxiety, depression, relationships and mental health, this is the one that resonated with me. Thank you.
You have pinpointed the major cause of anxiety for people working in the academic field (specially PhD students).. Discomfort with Uncertainty !!
My impatience and anxiety is not letting me watch this.
Same
Because you need to calm down! And realize you are not suffering from anxiety your wanting to suffer from it anxiety forms in fear and worry do opposite of that and stay cool calm and you will feel good and normal
I would suggest you to watch Dr Aziz video one by one.
Yes
I've tried changing my thoughts for years but it hasn't work so far and I have presentations to get through and rent to pay and life to get through. We don't have many years on this planet and so while I check out videos like this once in a while still I end up just going for the meds. They work and there has been no other solution that works for me at this point in time. I always check every so often to see what new info is out there but until there is something more than change your thoughts it will be the drugs for me.
"Turn your thoughts into your ally - when you do that - you can begin to write the script - of your own life."
Thanks Stephen - this was fantastic.

Excellent analysis of anxiety. So many people talk about how to treat the symptoms, and live with anxiety. I've watched dozens, and some have definitely helped me. However, this treats the cause, certainly in my case. This particular Ted talk has changed my life and within weeks I am now coming off medication. We live in an uncertain world, but it's a world of opportunity! Thank you Mel!!
I agree with the premise but not with the quick fix mentality of this video.
vAnyone struggeling with mental health issues should check out the Andrew Cutler protocol. Google «andy cutler rebecca rust lee» for a great article explaining. Tthere are things that you might be taking that is hurting you, like cilantro and chlorella. Wish you all the best
Reality is certain flow and certain possibility, the certainty of uncertainty. Anxiety has always been the condition of man, the amygdala brain fear about one's future existence, it's called Capitalism, Democracy, Politics, Man worshipping religions, Tribalism, all of which are arrogant and entitled formations of anxiety and uncertainty.
Your speech comes in handy at this point of my life. Very true. Anxiety comes from uncertainty and the fear for uncertainties. I still struggle with my thoughts sometimes. The more I think, the deeper I am sinking down in the bottomless thoughts.
Yi Si.. Try reading my new book, The Possibility Principle.. It shows you how to release those old thoughts that imprison you.
Try doing meditation. I suffer from anxiety and anxiety attacks and mediation has help my anxiety a lot. Look up meditation vids and try to meditate for 20 mins each day and you'll start to see the difference within a month or so. Best of luck ❤️
The low volume on this video gives me anxiety.

Everyone is different...anxiety kills! talk to someone, or a friend. There is hope for all of us 💚
But how to overcome the anxiety of feeling anxiety?
Ha.. Pause.. notice what you're feeling. Step back. Breathe deeply and reframe your thinking. Your feelings are due to your thoughts and they cycle in tandem.
I don't find this a great reply. 'Reframe your thinking' is asking for a rational, conscious argument, with yourself! So many of these 'think yourself well' ideas sound great in a TED talk, but can't be done in reality. It's asking us to create a battle within ourselves. "Your feelings are due to your thoughts".......so change your thoughts!!! I will need my thoughts to change my thoughts. How does that work! Seems to me the only way is to bypass conscious thought and get to the subconscious, through hypnosis or other techniques.
But how to overcome the anxiety of feeling anxiety over feeling anxiety?
David...My book, The Possibility Principle explains in detail how you can accomplish this. First step is to suspend your disbelief. If no one has ever taught you how to accomplish this you're left with your thought and your belief that it's not doable.
Oli, you may want to read my book, The Possibility Principle which explains how to do this.
Anxiety is where you live in the past, the future but never the present.
THOUGHTS ARE NOT FACTS. They aren’t real. They are forms of energy.

alcohol isn't the answer....
This guy really knows the pain being depressed or having anxiety disorder.
The big problem with the need for certainty is that EVERYONE AROUND ME demands this certainty, or guarantee. My landlord demands a certain guarantee, as do the utilities, the grocery store, car maintenance, bill payments, and others.
The ONE person or entity who DOES NOT get certainty or a guarantee is ME. And yet, I have to give guarantees to all of these entities.

One of the best anxiety talks I’ve come across. It’s about how you approach it. Mindfulness helps with having a relationship with yourself or thoughts. Personal development, nutrition and exercise are also important. Spirituality, gratitude, acceptance, patience and surrender can contribute to your resilience and relief. Taking action helps rewire your anxious brain. Having a whole approach is essential. The clue is that you have pain, something to heal.
Emotions like happiness, sadness, joy and Fear are rooted in the subconscious mind, the subconscious mind is faster than the conscious mind because one of its functions is to keeps us alive and out of danger
Following this, it’s impossible for a psychological therapy or technique to work for anxiety or depression, even if you learns a way to 100% calm yourself which I doubt it will keep coming back, how are you gonna get cured ?
If you wanna heal anxiety and depression you have to overcome your addictions
I believe that anxiety is rooted in fear and is learned personally and culturally. There are countless people and of course indigenous cultures that do not experience anxiety
Excellent message, and especially helpful while living during this pandemic.
I reckon anxiety is increasing as more and more people are under the pressure from the media, advertising, smartphones, etc. I never heard of anxiety, GAD or panic attacks 20 years ago, now everyone is anxious in one way of another.
Or maybe people just didn't talk about it as much and we didn't have all those medias to share what we feel.
KRAZEEIZATION its is caused by genetics and bad childhood experiences
Anxiety exists cause of the crazy PC culture we live in where every one is offended by everything to the point you have to watch every action you do as people are judging you with every word and posture you take. And some one going to jail cause they made a joke they did not like that is what the world is becoming.
mindlesstube anxiety is caused from feeling you are being judged over a long period of time, which your brain ends up associating that with intense fear
Probably our poisonous environment; chemicals in food, GMOs, air pollution, public water supply, etc.
I remember playing chess, your move unreversible but fun because its chess game. No uncertainty for panic. "When you expect uncertainty". Normally when fear of future disaster comes i take a deep breath ,close my eye and reset my attention to present issues. Have compassion for others helps also as we move forward as a community.
WOW. WHAT AN INSIGHT! WORRY IS THINKING TOO MUCH ABOUT FUTURE AND CERTAINTY.
JUST "LET GO" GUYS. LET GOOOOOOO. INTO FLOW OF LIFE.
YAAAAAAAA.
DON'T BECOME YOUR THOUGHT.
YAAAAAAA.
Next time a thought comes, just don't become the thought man.
TRANSCEND YOUR THOUGHTS MAN.
THIS GUY'S A GENIUS.
Yeah I know stating the obvious but no real advice on how to stop it...but I can see by the comments that the mystical creature from the skies that will solve all your problems win...Well I guess we are all doomed lol
Whoever thinks Anxiety “DIS”order is the same as anxiety, has no idea what they’re talking about.
They are NOT the same. Ask anyone who has ACTUALLY been or is going through it!
The sooner we and those seeking to GENUINELY HELP ( rather than make a name for themselves and $$$) learn to differentiate between the two, the sooner we can make progress.
The kind of anxiety that requires medication and treatment , is prolonged , irrational and usually associated with suicidal thinking. Otherwise medication would not be PRESCRIBED by a doctor.
and just how did you come to that belief Marcel?
Those of us who live it grab at any thread of hope we might find that will free us. Most of what’s out there doesn’t really touch the problem.
No one that has talked about anxiety that I have seen talks about the sciences behind anxiety and how that effects each person. My god! Kinda pisses me off
are you telling me i can dodge anxiety?
im telling you, when the time comes, you wont have to
I've seen anxiety punch through brick walls
I relate to this so much, I have been suffering with Generalised Anxiety Disorder for almost 2 years now. I talk about very similar topics on my channel too, feel free to come over and show a little support, thank you for listening.
How bad sleep, not sporting , using phone, bad eating can also cause stress anxiety
Why is the sound so low?
Yes it's a bit of a worry
I know! I cast UA-cam videos to the TV and I have the volume maxed out! I hope I remember to turn it down before the next video or I could blow the speakers (or my eardrums!)....
I believe it's optimized for headphone users, I hear it fine.
Kartos the low volume is making me anxious
Try turning your volume up.
Nice to see modern psychotherapy has come to the same conclusion as Buddhist philosophy 2600 years after the fact.
It's all good.
haha yeah psychology is a joke
Kaziklu Bey it may have been a joke in the past but psychology today is able to compete as a Coping mechanism with these older forms of finding peace and happiness

Breaking free from anxiety: XANAX drop mic and leave
This guy sounds as if he’s never had real anxiety therefore how can he speak on it this whole video gave me anxiety
Nakiah You are correct! He is like a doctor who never had cancer, diabetis or other things but he is trying to heal diseases. It doesn't work right?
Nakiah Sofiya agreed!
Lucias that's not always true. Experience can teach skills and the accompanying knowledge but the right education and even common sense can also qualify a person. You don't have to experience a car wreck to know how to avoid them.
Nakiah, it was during my own anxiety attack many years ago that I stumbled onto the solution. It worked for me and so I share it with others
So he is saying embrace uncertainty about the future and you won't be anxious
