Anxiety becomes Australia's most common mental health issue

A survey of mental health awareness suggests two-thirds of Australians believe depression is the country's most common mental health issue. But, chronic anxiety is actually twice as prevalent, with an estimated two million Australians suffering from that condition. Mental health organisation "Beyond Blue" polled 14,000 people for the survey and is releasing the results for national Mental Health Week (8-14 October).
