Understanding anxiety
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition in the U.S. for children and adults.
We’ve all felt nervous or anxious at times – before taking a test, before a job interview, making an important decision or preparing for a speech. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps us prepare for significant events or warns us to get out of harm’s way or take action. But, unlike the relatively mild and brief anxiety we might experience in these situations, anxiety disorders are much different.
At some point in their lives, an estimated 31% of adults and 32% of teens have an anxiety disorder causing such distress that it interferes with day-to-day living.
The good news is that anxiety disorders are highly treatable, and the vast majority of people with an anxiety disorder can be helped with professional care. The most successful treatments include a combination of therapy and medication.
