Anxiety Disorder Treatment

Yes. Anxiety is a mental illness affecting up to 40 million adults in the USA. These numbers make anxiety one of the most common mental illnesses. 

Anxiety disorder is characterized by heightened alertness, nervousness, and danger. One may also experience excessive sweating and trembling.

Anxiety diagnosis tests are performed by a qualified mental health expert. If doubtful, self-assessment of the disorder can also help in forming an anxiety diagnosis. 

However, a mental health professional diagnoses anxiety disorder based on the diagnostic criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM- 5). 

The mental health professional will want to know more about your symptoms and medical history. In light of these two factors, a physical exam and several tests including urine tests or blood tests may be done.
