Frequently asked questions
What are the symptoms of anxiety?
Common symptoms include persistent worry, restlessness, a racing heart, muscle tension, trouble sleeping or concentrating, irritability, and avoiding situations that trigger fear. Anxiety shows up in both the mind and the body.
Do I have anxiety or is it just normal worry?
Everyone worries sometimes. It may be an anxiety issue when the worry is frequent, feels uncontrollable, is out of proportion to the situation, and interferes with your daily life. Duration and impact matter more than any single anxious moment.
Can an online test diagnose anxiety?
No. An online anxiety test can only reflect how many symptoms you notice. A diagnosis comes from a qualified professional who reviews your history and rules out other causes. Use your result as a starting point, not a label.
What is the difference between anxiety and stress?
Stress is usually a response to a specific external pressure and tends to ease once the pressure passes. Anxiety often persists even without a clear trigger, and it can linger or return on its own. They overlap and can feed each other.
What are the main types of anxiety disorders?
They include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, specific phobias, and separation anxiety. Each has its own pattern, but all involve excessive, persistent fear or worry.
How is anxiety treated?
Anxiety is very treatable. Talking therapies like CBT are highly effective, along with lifestyle steps such as sleep, movement, and reduced caffeine. For some people, a doctor may also recommend medication.
When should I see a professional for anxiety?
Consider reaching out if anxiety is frequent, hard to control, or affecting your sleep, work, or relationships, or if you avoid things you want to do. You do not need to be in crisis to deserve support.
