Residual anxiety

Post recovery, is all that is left anxiety? Based on observations of a sample of two (Chris being one), I see that he’s taken on a purposeful life, but he occasionally gets sideswiped by anxiety. I’d never known him to be anxious before he began to develop symptoms that earned him a schizophrenia diagnosis when he was twenty.  I wonder if he’s always had an underlying anxiety or if he became anxious for the first time in his late adolescence. Had he been treated for anxiety rather than “schizophrenia” it seems to me that his recovery would have been a lot quicker than it actually was.

I’m a mom walking the long road of recovery alongside my son, whose world shifted at nineteen with a schizophrenia diagnosis. This space is where I share our journey as we navigate his healing through a shamanistic lens. I offer the truths we’ve discovered, the mysteries we’re still unraveling, and a critical look at a medical system that often overlooks the spiritual depth of this "dis-ease."
