Many of us may face a surgery at some point and just the mere thought of that can cause a degree of anxiety.
In NCBI, a published article by a medical team titled "What can relieve anxiety before surgery?", the team discusses that "It is totally normal to feel anxious before surgery. Even if operations can restore your health or even save lives, most people feel uncomfortable about 'going under the knife'. It is important to make sure that fears and anxiety don't become too overwhelming."
