This two-part interview, conducted by Beyond Today TV producer, Peter Eddington, will be edited and available in August on our website at ucg.org/beyond-today/television under the “Beyond Today Interviews” tab.

Some of the interesting questions covered during the 45-minute interview (which will be edited into two parts), include:

• We see more and more children becoming anxious and distressed today. Doctors will often prescribe medication. How do we help children and teach them to cope with anxiety? What are the consequences for children who have anxiety?

• Many people are anxious about the future, about things they cannot know. They fret over events that have not yet happened, or may not ever happen. How do we maintain a proper perspective on the future, and on things we cannot know?

• Is there a link between anxiety and depression? Can anxiety or despair lead to clinical depression?

• Are there differences in men and women when it comes to anxiety, depression and despair?

• Sometimes anxiety and depression strike close to home. How can we best help our spouse and our friends who are suffering from anxiety?

• How do I recognize anxiety in myself? Maybe I have it but don’t know it, but others see it in me?

• What are some of the good outcomes and positive impacts of stress in our lives?

• How has COVID-19 impacted our stress?

• Are there solid ways we can control the negative influences in our lives?

• What are some of the physical and emotional impacts on our health because of too much stress?

• How can I escape burnout?

• I’ve heard that joy can be an antidote to stress. How does that work? And are there other antidotes to anxiety, despair and depression?
