What can be done about akrasia probably caused by anxiety?

  • Exercise.
  • Meditation.
  • Aniracetam.
  • Phenibut.
  • Nicotine.
  • Cerebrolysin.
  • Picamilon.
  • As appropriate, stop exposing yourself to toxic stimulus that is causing anxiety.
  • Use generic tactics that work on most akrasia independent of cause.

From what I've seen valium helps to some extent.

Depending on the severity of the anxiety professional intervention may be necessary.
