Anxiety and depression are fairly prevalent.
One of the most common mental health disorders in the U.S., in 2012 the National Institute of Health found that almost 7% of adults had experienced a major depressive episode in the previous year. Even more prevalent is anxiety, with about 18% of U.S. adults reporting an anxiety disorder.
And yet it can be hard to explain depression and anxiety to someone who has never experienced those things.
That's why Katie Joy Crawford created a photo series she calls "My Anxious Heart."
