Anxiety is a common but treatable condition that affects millions of people in the United States. All of us have most likely felt a little anxious at some point in our lives. However, many people mistake the normal, transient reaction of feeling nervous or worried as having an anxiety disorder.
Psychologists and psychiatrists use specific criteria to diagnose anxiety disorders. We've designed a quick and easy checklist based on those criteria to help you determine if you may have an anxiety disorder. Please keep in mind that this checklist will not diagnose you with an anxiety disorder or tell you which type of anxiety disorder you may have, but it can be used as a tool to help you decide if you should seek professional treatment.
