Ameţeala indusă de anxietate

Anxiety disorders are the most common form of mental illness in USA, affecting 40 million adults older than 18 years of age, or 18.1% of the population every year. Anxiety disorders are treatable, yet only 36.9% of those suffering receive treat­ment. Anxiety disorders develop from a complex set of risk factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life events. It’s not uncommon for someone with an an­xiety disorder to suffer also from depression or vice versa. Nearly one-half of those diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Almost 75% of people with mental disorders remain untreated in developing countries, with almost one million people taking their lives each year. In addition, according to World Health Organization (WHO), 1 in 13 people suffers from anxiety globally. WHO reports that anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorders worldwide, with specific phobia, major depressive disorder and social phobia being the most common anxiety disorders.
