Unnerved

Bruce Link, coeditor of The Oxford Handbook of Stigma, Discrimination, and Health:
Unnerved is a beautifully executed social epidemiology of anxiety in the United States. Schnittker takes as a starting point the large cohort differences in anxiety, which he analyzes with acute sociological insight. In doing so, he not only teaches us about the social sources of anxiety but also reveals much about our changing society.

Allan Horwitz, author of Anxiety: A Short History:
Few sociologists have examined the phenomenon of anxiety. In Unnerved, Schnittker provides the most detailed sociological examination of anxiety, the most extensive discussion of the differences between anxiety and depression, and the most comprehensive empirical study of how social factors are related to anxiety that has yet been written.
