self-quiz
results with you
and/or a list of the symptoms you have been experiencing to help you
begin an open discussion with your doctor about how you're
feeling.

No. Most people are relieved to know that although anxiety
symptoms can feel terrifying or even life-threatening, they are in
fact harmless. Your body is simply setting off a "false
alarm" even though no real danger exists.

Is it possible to suffer from more than one type of anxiety at once?
Yes. People frequently suffer from more than one type of
anxiety disorder at once. This is called comorbidity.
Do prescription drugs cure anxiety?
Prescription drugs can be a helpful tool in reducing anxiety. They
can help reduce physical symptoms and get the body on a more even
keel, particularly when anxiety is so debilitating that it is
difficult to function.
However, prescription drugs are not a cure-all and do not alone address the root
causes of anxiety. To find lasting freedom from anxiety, it is
important to incorporate lifestyle strategies to reduce stress and
react to it differently, change anxiety-promoting thought patterns,
and address anxious behaviors.
Is complete recovery possible?
Yes. With proper treatment, change, and effort over time, you
can completely recover from anxiety. In order to maintain lasting
freedom from anxiety it's essential to reinforce daily the positive
changes in your lifestyle, self-care activities, thought
patterns, and behaviors.
