Credits: 1 CE Hour
 
Anxiety is one of the most commonly reported mental disorders, with over 1/3 of the US population meeting the diagnostic criteria at some point in their lifetime. The onset of anxiety usually occurs early in adolescent years and severity can predict future disorder progression.  Anxiety disorders are often underdiagnosed in specific social groups for a variety of reasons.  The present study examines the disparity between anxiety symptoms and anxiety diagnoses in certain demographics. The results show that there is an apparent implicit bias in the diagnosing of anxiety disorder based on race and gender. Findings also detail disorder trajectories of those individuals who have been underdiagnosed.
