Are anxiety disorders common?

More than you think!

Anxiety is the most common mental health issue among Canadian women, surpassing even depression.
In men it is second only to alcohol and drug abuse.

In Canada, 1 in 4 people will suffer from an anxiety disorder at some point during their life.

That means that in a workplace or a social environment with 40 people, 10 people will be suffering with one type of anxiety disorder or another.

At a hockey game, that’s 4,500 fans!

Mental health issues, including anxiety, stress and depression, rank first in terms of causing disability in Canada as well as the United States according to the World Health Organization.
