As a therapist, who is approved by AnxietyUk, this new research is very interesting. It shows there is an increasing need for services like AnxietyUk, and highlights the importance of the work that many therapists in the UK are already doing. "Anxiety affecting 8 million Brits New research claims that eight million Brits are suffering from anxiety, with treatment for this and similar conditions costing billions of pounds every year. A study by leading psychiatrists, published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, claims Britain spends £9.8 billion every year on treating stress, panic and anxiety related to the strain of modern life. The figure takes into account just two factors but covers a range of problems, from minor stress to more serious, longer-lasting cases like obsessive compulsive disorder. According to the study, the £9.8 billion is for the cost of treatments like counselling courses and the loss of productivity when someone is forced to take time off work due to mental illness."
