There is an epidemiological uptick in anxiety diagnosis rate; hence the article title: "Anxious Generation."

Is that due to broader trends in public health like lack of exercise and poor diet, specifically inflammatory foods like ultra-processed foods, exposure to food packaging, plastics, waterproofing chemicals, or other environmental contaminants?

What correlations in social research and human behavior can we identify?

Is there an increase in anxiety diagnoses in states with medical discounts for anxiety treatments?
