Anyone can feel anxious, but determining if you have an anxiety disorder takes a medical diagnosis. Here's what experts say about causes, treatments and symptoms.
It may feel like excessive worry or heightened fear, or it might manifest in physical symptoms like a racing heart or"Anxiety can be both good or bad — it's a spectrum, like most emotions," says Dr. Jessica Gomez, executive director and clinical psychologist at Momentous Institute, a youth mental health organization.
It can also depend on what type of anxiety disorder someone is dealing with. A panic disorder, for example, where people experience panic attacks, are particularly characterized by certain physical symptoms, says clinical psychologist Dr. Aron Tendler. "There is that distinction. It's mostly a matter of degree of how strong and severe the symptoms are — how persistent they are and if they're affecting your normal level of functioning," Sen says."It's when it really is affecting your life and this persistence that people need to get help."
No matter what's causing it, seeking help from a professional can give you specific strategies or interventions to deal with anxiety, Gomez explains.
