Unhappiness: The unspoken new epidemic
what's got us buzzing
Unhappiness: The unspoken new epidemic
You've probably heard of income inequality, but what about happiness inequality? It's the gap in people's quality of life — aka the difference between those who report having a great life vs. those who feel things couldn't get much worse. It's a real phenomenon — and new research has found global unhappiness has been rising for a decade now.

According to a recent wellbeing survey data from Gallup, people feel more anger, sadness, pain, worry, and stress today than ever before. Gallup's Negative Experiences Index shows that unhappiness peaked last year, coming in at 33 points in 2021, compared with 24 points in 2006 (when this annual wellbeing survey began).

So what makes for a happy life? Gallup studying the 20% of people who reported having a "great life" and found the top factors in happiness were work fulfillment, minimal financial stress, living in "great" communities, good physical health, and a support system of loved ones.

While many of these factors are beyond our control (we're looking at you, world leaders), there are steps we can take to become happier, enrich our lives, and maybe inspire others to do the same. Whether it's exercising more, starting a gratitude practice, or quitting your job, we encourage you to get after the happiness you desire.

tl;dr: Research shows the world is unhappier than ever before. Systemic solutions are necessary to make a larger, faster impact, but we can take our happiness into our own hands in some ways, too. Wondering how happy YOU are? Consider taking this happiness quiz to find out. And if you feel comfy, share your results with us at wellnesswire@healthline.com.

Folks are skipping therapy to save money
Monday Kick Start
Folks are skipping therapy to save money
We already know that therapy can be expensive or inaccessible for people without funds or insurance. But it turns out therapy costs are too high even for folks whose insurance does cover therapy.

According to a survey writeup in the Wall Street Journal, nearly a third of American adults currently in therapy say they've had to cancel a sesh because they can't afford it. Almost half say they'd need to quit if their out-of-pocket costs increased.

Rising grocery prices due to inflation, high out-of-pocket costs, and low insurance reimbursement rates are some of the obstacles people face when budgeting for therapy.

Whichever boat you might fall into, there are ways to find support – no matter your budget. From sliding scale therapy rates to crisis hotlines and therapy apps, check out our list of free to low-cost therapy options.

Health Hype Answer
Are panic attacks and anxiety attacks the same thing?
No!
These terms are often used interchangeably, but they're *not* the same thing. Panic attacks happen suddenly, involve intense, overwhelming fear, and feature physical symptoms like a racing heartbeat, nausea, and shortness of breath. They can happen to anyone, and having had more than one in your life is a sign of a panic disorder.
Although they often feel similar to panic attacks, anxiety attacks aren't as intense. And unlike panic attacks, anxiety attacks are not listed in DSM-5. They're considered more of a symptom of other psychiatric conditions, like generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). An anxiety attack may happen as a slow build or immediate response to something that's nerve-wracking.
