Who gets anxiety, stress, or depression and how common are they?

Anyone can experience anxiety or depression. Most people think that if stress and anxiety start in the mind, then anxiety and stress is really about a cognitive issue. And that's not true. It's the nervous system. We're unconscious to what's happening in our bodies, but there's an autonomic nervous system there that has a threat bias and it communicates to your brain how it's supposed to feel and think about the situation. So if the nervous system has a perceived threat of something, it's going to tell the brain, get out of here or don't move or fight back. It could be your boss, an irrational thought, or any kind of stimulus triggering the response. Depression is a little different, but generally speaking, these issues can affect anybody.
