It seems like you hear it all the time from nearly every one you know – “I’m SO
stressed out!” Pressures abound in this world today. Those pressures cause stress and
anxiety, and often we are ill-equipped to deal with those stressors that trigger anxiety and other feelings that can make us sick. Literally, sick.
The statistics are staggering. One in every eight Americans age 18-54 suffers from an
anxiety disorder. This totals over 19 million people! Research conducted by the National
Institute of Mental Health has shown that anxiety disorders are the number one mental health problem among American women and are second only to alcohol and drug abuse by men.
