FACTS AND STATISTICS
Understanding Anxiety and Depression is the First Step
National prevalence data indicate that nearly 40 million people in the United Sates(18%) experience an anxiety disorder in any given year.
Approximately 8% of children and teenagers experience an anxiety disorder with most people developing symptoms before the age of 21.
322 million people worldwide live with depression (WHO).
An estimated 17.3 million adults in the Untied States had at least one major depressive episode in 2017. This number represented 7.1% of all U.S. adults (NIMH).
It's a normal part of life to experience occasional anxiety.
The term "anxiety disorder" refers to specific psychiatric disorders that involve extreme fear or worry, and includes generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder and panic attacks, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, selective mutism, separation anxiety, and specific phobias.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are closely related to anxiety disorders, which some may experience at the same time as depression.
But you may experience anxiety that is persistent, seemingly uncontrollable, and overwhelming. If it's an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it can be disabling. When anxiety interferes with daily activities it is time to seek help.
