The Rise of Anxiety Industry
The big business of anxiety is on the rise, with numerous products and supplements flooding the market. Wearable devices like Apollo neural, MUSE, and others that claim to aid in stress reduction are gaining popularity, but are often expensive. Other products include adult coloring books, weighted blankets, and a wide range of supplements such as CBD and melatonin sleep aids. The anxiety industry is not heavily regulated, and many products are not scientifically proven to be effective. However, with around 40 million adults in the US reporting anxiety disorders, there is a demand for products that offer relief, especially in the absence of accessible mental healthcare.
