The Anxiety Treatment We Have Been Waiting For May Already Exist

Dr. Troy Rohn has spent two decades in neuroscience research, lived with anxiety his entire life, and co-founded a biotech company trying to treat it in a way no drug has managed before. In this conversation with host KAJ, he makes a quiet but striking case: that anxiety is not a mystery, it is a circuit problem — and gene therapy may finally be precise enough to address it at the source.The conversation covers what anxiety actually is, why current medications fail a third of the people who take them, the difference between RNA and DNA therapies, and what a world looks like where mental health treatment is personalised to your own genetic makeup. Accessible, honest, and quietly hopeful.=========================================KAJ Masterclass LIVEA video-first, live-first global conversation ecosystem — editorially independent, depth-driven, and supporter-sustained.
