What Is
Anxiety Disorder?
When you
first thing of anxiety, you
probably think of a mental
disorder, and that's partly
true. But since the
symptoms of anxiety are
similar to other medical
disorders, it's best to
head to your general
practitioner to rule out
the physical possibilities
for your anxiety.
You can
schedule a regular check up
and then let the doctor
know that you have been
experiencing more anxiety
than usual lately. Be
prepared to answer
questions like:
• How long
have you been feeling
anxious?
• What kinds of symptoms do
you have?
• Is anxiety interfering
with your life?
• Does anyone else in your
family have anxiety
issues?
• What is happening in your
life right now?
• How have you tried to
manage your stress in the
past?
• What has worked for your
anxiety?.
If your
primary care doctor
believes you have anxiety,
they may work with you to
come up with a treatment
plan, possibly medication
and other lifestyle
changes.
