Stress and anxiety can be normal, even helpful, physiological states. However, when they become a functional problem, where your personal relationships, sleep patterns and work productivity begin to
suffer, it is important for patients to seek out help. One in three of us at some point in our life will suffer from anxiety or depression. The vast majority of mental health is provided on the
primary care level. During this live webcast, hear from two primary care physicians, who share their opinions on how to manage stress, as well as different available treatment options for anxiety.
Learn about the importance of having a "stress plan" and helpful coping strategies, along with the possible connection among stress, anxiety and illness. Bob, a Seattle patient and former corporate
executive, also joins the program to share his story of struggling with depression and anxiety. As an extremely successful businessman and family man, Bob secretly experienced tremendous suffering
and shame associated with his illness for many years. Often mental illness is viewed in our society as a character flaw, which can lead patients already suffering to feel even more shame. Both Bob
and the doctors stress that one's ability to manage stress, anxiety and depression has nothing to do with character. It is often the strongest person who is finally able to ask for help. The key is
identifying what your stressors are and the source of your anxieties and then working with your provider to find a treatment plan that is best suited for you. It is possible to find relief and lead a
full life!

This Patient Power program illustrates how providers, families, patients, and the greater community are coming together to address autism. How does an autism diagnosis affect a family? What is the
benefit of being part of a community when seeking treatment? Beyond knowing you're not alone, being part of a community in a broad sense allows you gain new knowledge. It is about linking with others

Spectrum Treatment and Research Center (ASTAR); Lauri Perry, mother of 9-year-old Clark who has autism; And Brenne Schario, mother of two children with autism and Executive Director at Families for
