The following article was submitted by Dr. Deninger and touches on today’s life changes and how EMI can help:
We are living in an era of instability that has increased the incidence of anxiety in the population. Global warming is causing climate shifts that scientists warn will continue to spawn more frequent and severe weather systems around the globe.
The need for disaster relief from severe weather has become routine. At the same time, extremists have created a heightened state of unrest with attacks like 9/11 and bombings in key metropolitan areas. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and civil strife in developing countries are leaving behind soldiers and civilians in the aftermath who suffer from post-traumatic stress. U.S. soldiers suffering from anxiety-related illnesses have been overwhelming our military health care system for years.
