Yeah, try living paycheck to paycheck, and if you lose your job, see if you won't be anxious. How about having to find a place to live in less than a couple of weeks, not being able to find anywhere to rent, and having to deal with the possibility that you might be homeless. Is being anxious really an inappropriate reaction to such a situation?

Let's face it, many of us face anxiety due to so many difficult circumstances and past experiences that are outside of our control. Like, in the US, you can become completely bankrupt if your insurance that you pay a fortune for doesn't cover your condition, and you're telling me it's SURPRISING that so many people suffer from Anxiety?

I get that a chemical imbalance might cause the symptoms but it seems to me that the mainstream media blames anxiety on the people, and not the factors that cause the anxiety in the first place.
