Figure 2 |

The 12-month prevalence estimate of anxiety disorders in 14 European countries is 14%, meaning that 61.5 million individuals in Europe alone have had an anxiety disorder in the past 12 months1. Within the anxiety disorders, the 12-month prevalence for specific phobia is higher than the other disorders. In general, anxiety disorders are at least twice as common in women as in men. Error bars represent the range in prevalence estimates across the 14 countries. Data from REF. 1.
