What’s New at the APA

Inflation and recession were identified as the top anxiety-inducing current events by those polled in the latest
Healthy Minds Monthly poll from APA and Morning Consult. Four out of five Americans polled identified infla-
tion as a source of anxiety, while three out of four Americans polled since June said that fears of a recession were a
source of anxiety. Other issues that rated as anxiety-inducing in polling this year were the Russian invasion of
Ukraine, climate change, the future of reproductive rights and the midterm elections. You can read more and see the
full poll results here.
