The Age of Anxiety

The Age of Anxiety tackles the pressing issue of anxiety disorders, which the World Health Organization identifies as the most widespread mental health challenges today. The film questions whether this is a modern affliction or a result of our cutthroat, materialistic society that erodes mental stability. It scrutinizes the complicity of pharmaceutical companies and the psychiatric field in perpetuating this crisis. By examining the intricate relationship between societal pressures and the booming anxiety treatment industry, the film raises critical concerns about whether our fears are being exploited for profit in a relentless cycle.
