My wife has been diagnosed with MCI and it has gradually progressed. We have been through the Mayo HABIT program which also pays attention to partners as well as participants. I have had varying degrees of anxiety since retiring and learning of my wife’s diagnosis. Mayo has given me access to psychological help and my biggest benefit is understanding anxiety better (knowing that it may always be present in some degree) and learning how to become mindful through meditation. I have subscribed to the app Headspace and I find it extremely helpful. You learn about your brain and how to have some semblance of control over where it goes and how you think. Nothing is perfect for everyone but this has helped me a lot without resorting to either prescription or over the counter drugs and herbals.

I've had anxiety for years and your probably need counseling and prescription meds to help. Don't try and self-medicate. There are many good programs around- call your doctor. Get help
