I consider anxiety a low-level biological problem. It should have a biological fix.

Trying to fix fundamental problem with self-reflection and psychbabble misses the point and tragically wastes years upon years.

Go on then, what is the fix?
Anxiety is one of the harder problems. The set of possible fixes basically includes this list https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/07/13/things-that-sometimes-... as well as TRT/SARMs, which are, IMO, underappreciated.

Personally I note that a combination of antiinflammatory supplements (most importantly high-dose omega-3) and magnesium L-threonate tends to help me noticeably, but my anxiety isn't intrinsic, just work-related stress.
