On Tuesday, May 2nd, Mid Illinois Senior Services of Sullivan’s monthly ‘Dine with a Doc’ had guest speaker, Dr. Wesley D. Allan, PhD, give a presentation on anxiety. Dr. Allan is an Associate Professor, Coordinator of Clinical Psychology, M.A at EIU.
Dr. Allan, a warm and engaging speaker, covered the various aspects of anxiety, including what it is, its causes, and what can be done about it. First focusing on its multiple effects on the body and what it feels like, he then shared that older adults are most worried about health and financial issues as they age, which resonated with many in attendance.
