Feeling anxious is a normal part of life, sometimes even daily, because we need a low level of natural anxiety to keep us safe and alive; what I call "good anxiety." But the problem is when we have too much, what I call "bad anxiety."Unfortunately, anxiety continues to rise, especially since 2020. A 2024 poll found that 43% of U.S. adults reported feeling more anxious than the previous year, compared to 37% in 2023 and 32% in 2022.This quiz will help you see if your anxiety might be outside the normal range. The good news is that there's help —you don't have to continue living this way.
