Angst: Screening & Discussion

Our hope is that their candidness and bravery will inspire our community to do this same.</p><p>Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health challenge in the U.S., impacting 54 percent of females and 46 percent of males, with age seven being the median age of onset, according to the World Health Organization. While anxiety disorders are highly treatable, only one-third of those suffering receive treatment.</p><p>While “Angst” documents the struggles some people have with anxiety, it also reveals their hope for the future.
