The American phenomenon of labeling the natural consequence of economic stress + overwork + being disconnected from healthy relationships and nature as "anxiety" and treating the symptom with brain scrambler pills while doing nothing about the cause.

This is why I get angry at my doctor whenever they say "Reduce your stress." I'm like "Dude, I can't just quit my job like that." Meanwhile everyone else is telling me to paper over the cracks in the wall with meditation, exercise, and good eating. Turns out that doesn't do much when you are working 60-80 hours a week. Meanwhile, it's getting harder and harder to support your family.

Assuming you are working in IT, there are plenty zero stress working opportunities available. However, they are not being paid that well.
There I’m going with it - there is a choice available, more money vs less stress.
