40 million Americans have anxiety. A good therapist can make a big difference.
Anxiety disorders are one of the most common types of mental health issues. Nearly a third of those with an anxiety disorder will experience it across their lifespan. And for many people, anxiety disorders are chronic in nature; meaning that it comes, and goes, and comes again.
Unlike other mental illness issues, anxiety disorders can also start in young ages, with the most common age of onset being 11 years old.
Anxiety is more than just “nerves”, and if untreated, can be a risk factor to serious health ramifications.
