A total of 19 million Americans age 18-54 suffer from an anxiety disorder. Each individual of those 19 millions are one in every eight of the total American population. That makes anxiety disorders the most common mental illness in America, surpassing even depression in numbers, notably they are the most common mental health issue facing adults over 65 years of age.
According to the research by National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders are the No.1 mental health problem faced by American women and they are suffered by American men as second only to alcohol and drug abuse. Women are the victim of anxiety disorders almost twice as much as men.
$46.6 billion are spent on anxiety treatments and relevant information annually in the United States. Approximately 5 doctors are visited by the disorder sufferers before a successful diagnosis is made.Apart from this stress and anxiety cause other skin disorders like acne, eczema etc. and although acne treatments are availalbe it is better to treat the core rather then the problems caused by it.
With such bothering facts and statistics associated with anxiety disorders, we decided to be the part of anxiety disorders elimination campaign jointly run by numerous groups and associations dedicated for the sole purpose of making anxiety a history in America. We were warmly welcomed in the circle and much appreciated for our educating people about anxiety disorders in an encouraging way. |
