Health panel urges anxiety screening for adults under 65.

The US Preventive Services Task Force has recommended that all American adults under 65 be screened for anxiety, even if they are not showing symptoms, due to the fact that anxiety disorders often go untreated for far too long. The panel's recommendations generally influence insurance plans and become standard medical practice. However, there's currently not enough evidence to support anxiety screening for people 65 and over, but there's an urgent need for more research.
