New Guidelines Call for Anxiety Screening of All Adults Under 65

Experts recommend administering questionnaires to adults under 65 to screen for anxiety disorders.
Many Americans with anxiety disorders remain undiagnosed and unaware of their condition.
Anxiety disorders can significantly interfere with a person's daily functioning and quality of life.
Positive screening results may lead to counseling, medication, or a combination of treatments.
Even for older adults, reporting symptoms like worry, irritability, and difficulty concentrating to doctors is important for diagnosis and treatment.
