We Have Nothing to Worry About but Worry Itself

I have just learned that GAD -- generalized anxiety disorder -- is the number one cause of disability in the workplace in the USA -- and only a minute after I first learned the term. These days, people are finally getting serious about the insidious implications of bullying(cite) and ostracizing.
I read with interest the Social Brain Hypothesis (1998) by Robin Dunbar. In it, he more or less gets down to stating that success of an individual is dependent on how well an individual can achieve a state of relatively low harassment.
Do you know the Tall Poppy Syndrome? Crab mentality?
Reverse Dominance Hierarchy, (1993) as outlined by Christopher Boehm, is not just the primate precursor to democratic systems but also is based on members "ganging up" on anyone who is perceived as attempting to dominate the group.
We have adopted society from lower animals -- it is relatively recently in our history that we switched from pure evolution, where the most forceful rapists and murderers win the evolutionary game -- to a more social evolution, where we put those people in jail, in favor of consensus agreements.
More and more, psychology is finding that good mental health is due through having a secure attachment, rather than an ambivalent, avoidant, or disorganized attachment. But only 55-65% of children have a secure attachment style, derived through an appropriate, loving relationship with a caregiver.
In smaller "society," such as family situations, we still see a degree of dominant strongman tactics being practiced.
But also, the projection of worry, rumination as a learned trait, hours of obsession over worries, and everyone still saying, "You worry too much," a criticism, rather than an assurance. A demand to deny worry, rather than addressing its root causes.
This kind of harassment, directly, and indirectly, through projected worry-focus, wreaks havoc on human potential.
Recently, someone was talking about motivation being a factor in intelligence measurement. Why, sure it is. How long do you try at something you simply don't understand? People check out; take a contrary attitude, wrap themselves in defenses for not knowing, appearing stupid; "No, I'm not stupid; this just doesn't interest me," people say -- it's not a scale of earnest trying; outside the circle of increasing reward for the correct answer are people apparently pursuing other interests, maybe harassing, or being harassed by, someone else.
