If you feel like you’ve tried just about everything to cope with your anxiety — to no avail — you’re not alone. Researchers estimate that 50 to 60% of people with anxiety still suffer from symptoms even after trying first-line treatments. Why? Well, maybe it’s because anxiety comes in many shapes and colors. In fact, according to Dr. Nicole Cain, a naturopathic doctor and clinical psychologist, there are actually nine types of anxiety. And knowing your type is the best way to figure out which treatments are actually going to help you.

Dr. Cain is the founder of the Holistic Wellness Collective, a membership program designed to provide self-healing, cohost of the podcast Holistic Inner Balance, and the author of the new book Panic Proof: The New Holistic Solution to End Your Anxiety Forever.
