As a psychotherapist, I teach and write a lot about anxiety and how to cope with this prevalent mental disorder. One thing I have not done is talk about the best gifts for people with anxiety.

The fact is, you can never go wrong when your gift comprises of comfort items for anxiety.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorder in the United States, affecting 40 million adults each year. That’s approximately 18 percent of the population; that’s a whole lot of people.

And although anxiety is a highly treatable mental illness, only about 37 percent of those who grapple with the disorder receive treatment. That tells me that the rest of the anxiety sufferers are either not receiving any treatment or taking matters into their own hands.Ā 

Professional help is the best and most recommended way to deal with anxiety. However, people can use certain items and tools to improve and manage this mental disorder’s challenging symptoms.Ā 

Some of these comfort items for anxiety can be on the pricey side. So, If you’re wondering what to give someone with anxiety, the answer is to give them something they need, might not be able to afford, or items they are not aware can help them cope with their anxiety.

Today, I will share with you a comprehensive list of good gifts for anxious people. These items are unique enough to help you or your loved one cope with stress and anxiety.
