For first time, US task force recommends screening adults for anxiety disorders | CNN:
Adults ages 19 to 64 in the United States should be screened for anxiety disorders, according to a new recommendation from the US Preventive Services Task Force released Tuesday.
The final recommendation, published in the medical journal JAMA, marks the first time the USPSTF has made a final recommendation on screening for anxiety disorders in adults, including those who are pregnant and postpartum. The task force found “insufficient evidence” to screen for anxiety in older adults.
To be honest, I have to wonder how much of this anxiety was driven by COVID-19 lockdowns, by governments convincing social media platforms to censor certain ideas (such as censoring media outlets reporting on Hunter Biden’s crimes), and by the rise of social media itself.
