according to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 18% of American adults experience anxiety disorders in a typical year. About 9.5% have the symptoms of mood disorders (Note that an individual can be simultaneously diagnosed with both types).

As you create your discussion post, consider the following:
- What do we know about the causes and progression of these disorders?
- What do theory and research tell us about the causes of these disorders and possible means of prevention?
By the end of this discussion, you will be able to:
- Discuss the symptoms and development of mood disorders with focus on the biological and social-cognitive perspectives
- Describe the symptoms and likely causes of the most common anxiety disorders
Complete the following:
