The average high school kid today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950s

Over the last several decades, both through good economic times and bad, the United States has transformed into the planet’s undisputed worry champion. Around the turn of the millennium, anxiety flew past depression as the most prominent mental health issue in America, and it’s never looked back: With more than 18 percent of adults suffering from an anxiety disorder in any given year, the United States is now the most anxious nation in the world, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Stress-related ailments cost the nation $300 billion every year in medical bills and lost productivity, while our usage of sedative drugs keeps skyrocketing; just between 1997 and 2004, Americans more than doubled their spending on anti-anxiety medications like Xanax and Valium, from $900 million to $2.1 billion. And this anxious strain hits us well before we reach college.

True.

Finder. It’s highly original, well written, sexy, thrilling, smart, and drawn with incredible skill and attention to detail. Since I discovered it in 2005, it is continually one of the finest works of art I’ve ever experienced. I recommend it.
