Join us for the first of a two part webinar series about anxiety. After these seminars you will have a better understanding of the different anxiety disorders. Our presenter will also explain the differences between anxiety and distress related to other types of disorders like obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.
