Anxiety Statistics
Q. I
was wondering who is most often affected with anxiety and what
happened if it goes untreated.
A. The statistics for Anxiety Disorders is as follows:
Anxiety Disorders are equal opportunity disorders. They effect
both men and women equally, although men are less likely to report
for diagnosis. The age of onset can range from 7 years of age
through to late 60's and 70's. Although, the main grouping for age
of onset is early 20's through to 40's.
The socioeconomic statistics indicate that social standing is not
a contributing factor. People from all walks of life, professions
and education are equally effected by Anxiety Disorders.
All humans experience anxiety to some degree. It is the nature of
living in society and the world. Everyday, people experience
stressors of different magnitudes. It is how people deal with these
stressors which can be a big factor as to whether the anxiety
develops into a problem or not. Also, traumas can also play a very
large part in whether the anxiety will develop into an Anxiety
Disorder.
If someone experiences anxiety in an ongoing way, i.e., where
they are experiencing physical, emotional, psychological symptoms on
a daily basis - and they do not seek assistance with this, then the
anxiety can establish an anxiety cycle and develop into an Anxiety
Disorder. However, anxiety can also develop into other conditions
which are stress related. Everyone are individual. If the anxiety is
not dealt with appropriately, then it will find other ways of being
released or dealt with.
