Here we're talking about anxiety on a national scale (US, cause that's where I live and those were the easiest stats for me to find. If you're international, please feel free to send me what you find in research!). I rely on NAMI and NIMH for my statistics (https://www.nami.org/learn-more/mental-health-by-the-numbers and https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/any-anxiety-disorder.shtml) though these are pretty dated statistics. The point I wanted to get across in this episode was that there are a lot of people out there walking through this world feeling the same or similar to you if you live with anxiety. I encourage you to practice grace toward others as we challenge mental health in the 21st century.
Further notes- DSM5 is the current version. It is the Diagnostic Statistical Manual.
