I also have a family member struggling with Anxiety issues. When properly diagnosed and treated, most individuals can be helped to live with it effectively.
I put that thread up for the way the country is headed... most likely wanting to put everyone on anxiety medicine since the pandemic ...oh the stress of staying at home!!!!
I wasn't anxious until I read this story! Seriously though, I've been given a questionnaire asking those type of questions for years at my annual physical. I just give the "noneya" answer, and they haven't pursued any further.
When they start asking those questions: "I have more money in the bank than I can spend in my lifetime, and every toy that I want/desire. I have the world by *."
That stops the conversation.

Unfortunately mental health issues are all too real. This is one of those things where some that have real issues are afraid to ask. Then, there are those that think they are, but just need to grow up. Then, there are those that think they can gain something just by claiming they are.
The recommendation is completely ridiculous. Anxiety is a real problem for some, but symptom free anxiety? How can someone have anxiety and have no symptoms? Nonsense. And what's with the 65 year old age cut off? Completely arbitrary and nonsensical unless your intent is to just discriminate against seniors.
This is recommendation amounts to nothing more than woke horse hockey.
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Those folks don't have near enough to do.
Rub some dirt on it!
Cowboy up!
I can foresee some "red flag" cases in some folk's future.

Back door way for gun control.
I swear, they'll have everyone labeled under some sort of category before its all over.
If you go through your past I'm sure you'll have days where you would qualify for every distinct flaw imaginable at any given time.
Have a grand child suffering from Anxiety, it is not a matter to take lightly. It can be horrible.
I see what you done ...
I am thinking xanax stock ought to be booming soon
Doctors should have more focus on not killing their patients (Doctors kill more people than guns), and less on this kind of Bull Pucky.

Back when I was a kid it was called...........LIFE. It happens!!!!.....some good.....some bad.
I've had my share of tough times, as I'm sure many here have. The phrase "suck it up buttercup " comes to mind.......along with many others.
Just imagine what the 1930's were like.
Times sure do change.........but in many instances......NOT for the better.
I guess this should count as some of my $0.02 .

select-fire, isn't that mayor pete's job?
I have anxiety issues--most stem from the desire to pound the living snit out of folks who don't have a clue about real life problems.

Sorry Anxiety is not a joke, its a serious problem!
You're confusing anxiety with stress.
Stress, is the confusion created when the mind overrides the bodies basic desire to choke the living *t out of some *hole who desperately deserves it.

This is the evidence that our society is on the brink of collapse
