Anxiety Disorder Prevalence Among U.S. Adolescents by Gender

Among adolescents in the United States, anxiety disorders are more prevalent in females (38%) than in males (21%), according to data from the National Institute of Mental Health.

These figures represent lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorders among adolescents aged 13–18. The higher rate among females may reflect a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors, including perceived safety and environmental stressors.
