Being a panic/anxiety sufferer myself, and knowing that it took me a while to have it properly diagnosed, I am curious as to what percent of the world population suffers form this common ailment, whether it be a diagnosed condition or undiagnosed.

Dont know the percent, but i think it would be high because alot of people go through life feeling anxiety and they worry about asking for help. As i did. its crazy you have anxiety and then you worry about that it is just makes you feel worse

  1. i have no idea what the percentage is but i’m a part of that statistic.

  2. Higher than you might think. I went through two bouts of it myself.

  3. 19 million American adults suffer from it but am not sure about world

  4. I have heard that the answer to that question is much higher than you would think due to the fact that alot of people are miss diagnoised. My daughter who is just 10 has this dissorder compounded by others as well, with counseling and the right meds it can be under control. I wish you all the luck in the world. God Bless.
