Latest research shows Worrying as an Autonomous Nervous System’s reaction, hence unavoidable. The good news is that we can face Worry peacefully through ‘Emotional Intelligence’.

We all worry to varying degrees.
In the neurotypical, it would help with responsible decision-making.
In the neurodiverse, it would turn into Fear to no benefit.

A specific medication for Fear has not been developed yet: Antipsychotics ‘numb’ Fear by erasing emotions and sedation, they are non-productive drugs of convenience, leading to permanent disabilities, e.g. Tardive Dyskinesia.
Even neuroscientists understood it.
The goal is developing more selective Mood-stabilizers enhancing Emotional Intelligence.

The medical term for Peace is Tranquillity.
Tranquilizers is the generic name for Benzodiazepines, effective in the short-term, although time-limited.
Atypical Antipsychotics are used off-label in Bipolar Disorder-Risperidone- or Anticonvulsants- Valproic Acid.
Methylphenidate is the treatment of choice in ADHD, marketed with a lifespan of 12 hours, though it wears-off after 6/8 hours in real-life.
To date, there isn’t a Typical 24/7 Mood-stabilizer.

Emotional Intelligence is the role player to understanding people’s emotions through managing ours.
The theory is that by anticipating people s feelings, we abate triggers.
That doesn’t erase Worry, it allows to confront Worry with self-Gratitude.
Self-Gratitude is related to the Momentum, involving two simultaneous reactions like being anxious while eating chocolate, an example of facing Worry with Pleasure, definitely mitigating Anxiety.

Faith is of great help to religious groups.
Psychotherapy is complementary.
