Anxiety Among American Teens

The report revealed that about 32 percent of American teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 had experienced an anxiety disorder at one point. 

The National Institute of Mental Health stated that occasional anxiety is an expected part of life. 

Anxiety can be in different forms such as generalized anxiety and panic disorders, as well as forms of phobia-related disorders. 

Emotional Wellness 

Healthyplace.com cited the statement of scholars from the University of California, Davis.

According to them, emotional wellness involves the awareness, understanding, and acceptance of one’s feelings.
