(Updated from a couple of years ago. I was about to write something about “is this what finally kills me” — an anxiety that increases in intensity as we age — and noted that it was already a small part of this larger topic.)
It almost feels trendy to talk about anxiety these days.

But has it, though? Has become more prevalent, or just more visible?
Based on my experience, I would say: why not both?
