Anxiety is the most common mental health issue in the midlands.
Turn2Me, a national mental health charity, has released its figures which show 64% of people who present to them in Laois, Meath, Offaly and Westmeath have problems with anxiety.
They are also treating a variety of types of anxiety, such as work stress, financial pressure and fears over exams and even the climate.
22% are seeking help for depression and 8% are dealing with relationship issues.
They have also noticed a shift in the most common age bracket, with the majority of their users falling into the 20-26 group, rather than the previous year reporting 18-24 year olds.
