A member asked:
Can you test for anxiety? like with an lp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Assessment no LP: Given that anxiety is a process rather than a discrete emotion, anxiety is best determined through an assessment by a trained, mental health professional (clinical interview and self report measures). If anxiety is chronic, a mental health professional can specify the type of anxiety disorder and determine best route of treatment (cbt or medication). No LP as in lumbar test.
