Anxiety Quote by Michael Phelps
“With social media, so many people have anxiety and depression because of it. Of course technology is somewhat good, but it can present so many issues; more and more we're seeing what that's causing, and it's even leading to deaths. I just got finished doing a documentary called Anx with children talking about anxiety and recognizing their emotions and understanding them better. We need to let kids know it's OK to not be OK. And we need to help them be comfortable talking about it.”

![“The thing about those conditions [anxiety and depression] that sucks the worst is that you don't address the root cause, so you never see it coming. What's worse is when you don't even KNOW what the root cause is, you can never fix the problem. So that's what's really scary.” quote by Matty Mullins](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/409/matty-mullins-48676_addresses_the-thing-about-those-conditions-anxiety_846836.jpg)
