A new public opinion poll released Oct. 21 by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) found that 62% of Americans feel more anxious than they did at this time last year. That marks a sizeable increase over APA polls of the past three years, in which the number has ranged between 32% and 39%, APA officials stated in a news release.
