@harimenon_bb @bigbasket_com Awesome. Well done!

[Our World in Data @OurWorldInData]

Anxiety is the most common mental health condition globally. It’s estimated that 4% to 5% of people in the world have an anxiety disorder at any given time.

Long-term surveys in the United States suggest that around one-third of people experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives.

That means most of us will either struggle with anxiety ourselves or know someone close who has or will. Many of you have probably seen the huge impact anxiety can have on people’s everyday lives, and how life-changing it can be to have effective treatments that alleviate symptoms.

In a new article, we examine the history of pharmacological treatments (that is, drugs) used to treat anxiety since the 1950s. These changed a lot in the five decades until the early 2000s, but there have been no new anxiety medications approved since 2004.

While there has been a slowdown in the number of new drugs approved for anxiety (which is the focus of our article), the usage and number of prescriptions for anti-anxiety medications have likely continued to increase in recent decades.

It can be hard to get concrete and consistent data on this because many of the most recent drugs are primarily antidepressants; so even when prescription figures are available, it’s usually not clear whether they are being used to tackle depression or anxiety.

In some cases, it can be both. Even in just the last few years, there have been noticeable increases in the percentage of American adults receiving mental health treatment, which includes taking medications.

Urban India’s number for digital payments is surely higher. I rarely keep cash and walk out with my mobile phone most times. The biggest embarrassment is tipping however. How do you ask someone you want to tip for their mobile number 🤪

💵 Which countries still use (or don’t) cash?

@MahindraRise Well said. Art shapes who we are - bravo to supporting the arts and building a nation.

Absolutely ridiculous treatment on @Swiggy despite being a One BLK member. Not done. I had heard of this issue in the media but I experienced it 3 times today. 67 mins wait time despite being on express delivery. 2 ordered canceled back to back. Awful!!!!

[Tina Mansukhani Garg @tinagarg]

@Su_diksha Highly irresponsible- basic sense of civic responsibility and following rules is missing. Should be heavily fined specially because cameras are there at every signal now.

@beastoftraal Just saw that after I wrote the comment Karthik. I guess the color does cause unwarranted discrimination on those wearing red. Didn’t see it that way at all! Noted :)

@Tweetkush2 @Ishu2400 What do you mean by white listing the phone- do explain

[Tina Mansukhani Garg @tinagarg]

@hvgoenka Yup but took 20 seconds!

[Tina Mansukhani Garg @tinagarg]

Unfair!!!

[Boman R Irani @BRustomjee]

Shocking, but the only real minority today are the Tax paying citizens.

[Tina Mansukhani Garg @tinagarg]

@hvgoenka Thank you for sharing. Certainly a gem in the highly crowded Ooty.

[Tina Mansukhani Garg @tinagarg]

@dekhane_mukul Good one!

[Tina Mansukhani Garg @tinagarg]

@B5001001101 What do you call an apology that doesn’t feel like an apology? :)

[Tina Mansukhani Garg @tinagarg]

@anshul9 @abhi_agarwal4 This is beautiful. Well said.
