The statistics are staggering. One in eight French people between the ages of 18 and 54 suffer from an anxiety disorder. That represents more than 19 million people! Research conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health has shown that anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses, surpassing even depression.
