Anxiety disorders are different from normal feelings of anxiousness and involve excessive anxiety or fear. According to Our World in Data, an estimated 284 million people have experienced an anxiety disorder in 2017, globally, making it the most prevalent mental health or neurodevelopmental disorder. Whereas, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America stated that anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 40 million adults age 18 and older, i.e., 18.1% of the population each year. Even though anxiety disorders are very much treatable, only 36.9% of those suffering receive treatment.

Individuals with an anxiety disorder are three to five times more likely to visit the doctor and six times more likely to be hospitalized for psychiatric conditions than those who do not have anxiety disorders. The roots of anxiety disorders are presently unknown but probably involve a combination of factors, including genetic, psychological, environmental, and developmental. Furthermore, an increase in research and development on the treatment of anxiety disorders, due to the overall increasing prevalence is expected to drive the studied market's growth, over the forecast period.
