According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can actually be beneficial in some situations. For some people, however, anxiety can become excessive. While the individuals suffering may realize their anxiety is too much, they may also have difficulty controlling it and it may negatively affect their day-to-day living. 

• Anxiety disorders affect 18% of the U.S. population (40 million adults, age 18 and up)
• Anxiety affects one in eight children, putting those children at higher risk to perform poorly in school, miss out on important social experiences and engage in substance abuse
• Women are 60% more likely than men to experience an anxiety disorder over their lifetime
