Anxiety
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18% of the population. However, while anxiety is highly treatable, only one-third of those suffering seek treatment.
Many people experience anxiety in the form of excessive worry and fear, leading to a variety of both physical and mental symptoms. Physical problems may include stomach problems, dizziness, muscle tension, headaches, rapid breathing, dizziness, change in appetite, and trouble sleeping among others. Psychological symptoms include impending doom, chronic nervousness, restlessness, irritability/anger, rumination or excessive thoughts, and sleeplessness.
