While an increasing number of Americans see mental and physical health equally, viewing depression and bipolar disorders as risk factors for suicide, a new study suggests that few understand that when unmitigated, anxiety disorders too can endanger one’s life. The study, released by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, showed that although 90 percent of respondents have been affected by suicide and knew of its link to depression and bipolar disorder, less than half knew that anxiety could inflict the same damage.
