Making Mental Health a Priority in the New Year

TTUHSC, TTP Experts Offer Strategies to Combat Today’s Anxiety Surge

Anxiety is increasingly viewed as a defining challenge of modern life for adults in the United States, according to a recent poll on mental health by the American Psychiatric Association. Mental health experts agreed it’s not only widespread, but steadily growing.

“I do think there’s a lot of anxiety. It’s something that we’re seeing increasing over time,” said Sarah Mallard Wakefield, M.D., a psychiatrist with Texas Tech Physicians (TTP). “I think it’s a concern that we need to address as a society and community and not just in a therapeutic or treatment framework.”
