Doctors have been unable to find the cause. This person is now retired, spending most of his time at home helping with extended family child care. About 6 months ago a 5G station was installed on a pole on his street about 10 yards from his house. His formerly episodic anxiety has become nearly continuous and grown worse. In August he went on a two week family vacation in a fairly remote area with no cell service. He experienced a complete lack of anxiety at that location. His anxiety returned with a vengeance a few hours after he returned home. His doctor has advised him to move from his life long home to a rural location without cell service. This is not a controlled study, but as a natural history experiment it strongly suggests that there are serious health impacts from cell phone system radiation.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5873","tags":["child-development","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"4552cadcd4125fbca2c78f1f6b7fa08302b08fa45ff5cd854f0067aac5a409bc","slug":"child-development-comment-5873","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5873","body_sha256":"2665483a23270dd9e827b2040231f98c8d9e89437007b99d4c0ebb448b7a7235","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"se.
