Have dealt with anxiety disorder for a long time. I don’t believe screening is the answer, likely leads to over-diagnosis and then medication to handle the volume. Education might be a good start.

Early on my severe and reoccurring anxiety was dismissed as normal anxiety. It’s still common for people to think the normal worrying we all experience is the same as having anxiety disorder.

Knowing what I was experiencing and how it’s different would have been great for me and my peers.
