[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many people now with "anxiety" or who are prone to panic attacks. No judgment at all I am just curious as to why. Environmental factors? Cultural and/or societal? Is it a broader scope for diagnosing now or just more people are being diagnosed? It really just seems in the past decade that more and more people have these crippling anxieties. You see more social anxiety as well. Not saying no one had this before, it just seems like so many now. Makes me wonder why. [/quote]

OP, maybe first, before wondering why more people have anxiety and panic attacks, establish whether it's actually true that more people have anxiety and panic attacks. [/quote]

Uh... [b]She said right in the op that it seemed to her more people were [/b]and then asked if it was just more people reporting it/being diagnosed. What is wrong with that? I agree. I think it is because more people are getting help and there is a wider scale to diagnose anxiety now. [/quote]

What is wrong with it? The bolded part. Lots of things seem to me to be so. That doesn't mean that they actually are so.[/quote]

Again so maybe that is why she asked for others opinions on the matter. What is your issue with that?[/quote]
