Introducing our new monthly feature, Ask the Doctor. Our healthcare partners will be answering your questions.
ASK THE Doctor

My Partner is feeling anxious. How can I help?

You’ve tried everything—listening to their concerns, attempting to understand their fears, seeking the advice of friends and family. But taking care of a spouse who is battling anxiety can be draining. Their worries can spill over into other aspects of your life and can in turn foster anxiety in you.

That’s why it’s critical to learn how to manage your partner’s anxiety, and your own, so that you can both thrive, together.

Validate and acknowledge your partner’s feelings without patronizing them.
