“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

- Martin Luther King Jr.

A recent survey from American Psychiatric Association finds that there has been a major shift in anxiety among Americans over just the past year.

40% more Americans say that they are more anxious than the year before, and that is a huge rise.

Even though scientific genetic studies suggests the dominant reason for anxiety is in the genetic formula, and that studies have shown that when anxiety develops before age 20, close relatives are more likely to have anxiety as well — there are still a lot of questions still being discussed.

When the science suggest that the genetic markup can fuel the anxiety response and that its more likely that you pass on this markup if you have been young when you started having an unhealthy relationship with anxiety — it is worth discussing just how much genetic control and how much we as a society and individuals control.

I would argue that we should look closer for a solution, and for a way to control the spreading of anxiety further. Children are especially sensitive towards their caretakers responses to anxiety — which means that if more adults are anxious, more children will be too.

If we assume that this trend has been on the rise for a number of years, and we also look at the social impact of globalization, social media and mobile devices — it is not hard to connect the dots, and see that there has been smoke for a while, and we are now walking into a forest fire.

Our attention span has also been shortening since the rise of the smartphone, and more and more people are overstimulated and have access to emotional escape pods like never before.

Ask yourself, if you haven’t ever been stressed, bored or anxious and has immediately comforted yourself on Facebook, YouTube, Netflix or Instagram. It’s in our nature to seek relief of an emotional reaction — however when the relief is not really a relief we are build to experience, but more a pseudo relief, and when we as a culture are turning away from fear and anxiety as a healthy natural bodily response — and instead are viewing it as negative, and try to ignore it or escape from it — it inevitably creeps up on us and will at some point overwhelm us.
