Google Adds An Anxiety Disorder Self-Assessment to Search Results

This is great news! Matt Southern of Search Engine Journal just shared some awesome news that we wanted to share:

When people use Google Search to look for information about anxiety, they will now see a clinically-validated questionnaire for self-assessment. According to new data released last week from the Census Bureau, a third of Americans are now showing signs of clinical anxiety or depression:

‘Anxiety disorders affect 48 million adults in the U.S. Anxiety presents itself as a wide range of symptoms, and can be a result of biological factors or triggered by a change in environment or exposure to a stressful event.

With COVID-19 introducing new points of stress, communities are seeing a rise in mental health issues and needs.’

Google is doing its part to assist those who may be dealing with symptoms of anxiety by partnering with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to provide access to mental health resources.
