My wife is suffering from anxiety since covid began and she thinks I and my daughter will die.
She also has the phobia of rain, thunder and clouds from the past few years. No matter what, she gets palpitations as soon as even minor rain starts. She is unable to function normally. This has just gotten worse.
Please help.
