Did You Know?
Living with anxiety isn't an easy thing to do. Especially when there are too many people who don't understand what it's like. Everything in life is twice as hard to get through if you are a person with anxiety. BUT... (spoiler alert) YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
- Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older.
- Anxiety is hereditary. If either your mother or father has/had anxiety, you are more likely to develop an anxiety disorder.
- Self-dislike (low self-esteem) can contribute to depression and anxiety.
- There are actually SIX different types of anxiety disorders!
1. generalized anxiety disorder
2. obsessive-compulsive disorder
3. panic disorder (anxiety attacks)
4. phobia
5. post-traumatic stress disorder
6. social anxiety disorder (which is what I suffer from)
- Even some of our beloved celebrities suffer from anxiety!
Leanne Rimes has Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Johnny Depp, Emma Stone, and Scarlett Johansson all suffer from Panic Disorder
David Beckham and Jessica Alba both suffer from OCD
Fun Fact: Barbara Streisand avoided singing on stage for almost 30 years due to her severe stage fright!
