I’m a physician who treats mental health, and I just saw Inside Out 2.

Wow.

The way that they conceptualized anxiety was masterful. They showed that anxiety is NOT this scary villain who needs to be shunned from the rest of your emotions. Instead, anxiety keeps us safe and pushes us to plan for the future. Problems can arise when anxiety takes the wheel for too long, just like with any other emotion. I wish this movie existed when we were younger. 10/10.
