How do you now if you have anxiety?

You'd know: I'm guessing that you mean is - is what you feel bad enough to count for diagnosis and tx? Too many people (imho) self-diagnose so i always recommend that you take your symptom descriptions to a good doctor (or psychologist) and let them use their training to evaluate your needs. It may be mild enough to avoid meds and learn management skills - or add drugs to get started. Hope this helps.

Anxiety: Anxiety is one's normal reponse to stress. Seeing that almost everyone has some stress then it follows that almost everyone has some normal anxiety. When anxiety increases beyond normal then it can cause many symptoms and cause the need for treatment.
