The organization’s monthly Healthy Minds poll found that 35 percent of respondents reported worries about gun violence personally happening to them, followed by 29 percent reporting worry about natural disasters.
The poll was conducted June 18-20 and surveyed 2,210 adults.
Survey participants who reported anxiety about inflation rose more than 8 percent compared to the poll conducted in May.
The poll “is showing us that the economy seems to have supplanted COVID as a major factor in Americans’ day-to-day anxiety,” Rebecca Brendel, MD, American Psychiatric Association president, said in the July 7 news release from the association.
