Top Factors Contributing to Anxiety Among U.S. Adults

A 2024 survey by the American Psychiatric Association found that stress (53%) and lack of sleep (40%) are leading contributors to anxiety symptoms among U.S. adults. Separately, 63% of adults aged 18–35 report anxiety related to artificial intelligence and its potential impact on jobs.

The percentages reflect different groups: stress and sleep data are based on adults experiencing anxiety symptoms, while AI-related anxiety applies specifically to adults aged 18–35.
