a) It's just not that easy to "everybody needs to adjust" -- people are different wrt. what causes anxiety, etc. It seems a priory quite plausbile that there's a significant genetic component to this. b) "Get checked" may itself cause problems, for example: Scans for breast cancer involve radiation which may actually cause cancer. Biopsies can also be quite invasive. Obviously the risk is low, but depending on the exact numbers and it might actually be better to not get screened until one is in a known high-risk group (where the base rate fallacy doesn't skew the results so much).
