Best answer:
Answer by Andrea
No. To get meds for it-yes. I have anxiety and I choose not to get a diagnosis because I don’t want meds. Meds are harsh on the body. If you do think you have anxiety you can try to go to counseling or if it’s bad and you need help while finding out what triggers panic attacks, meds might be a short term choice for you.

To answer your question just ask yourself is there a physical test a doctor performs to determine anxiety? To save you some time, there is not. So how would he determine this? Asking you some questions? We all get anxiety from time to time and much of it stems from being nutritionally deficient or high stress in your life. The only thing a doctor is trained to do is “Treat a symptom” with medication. That simply gives you some temporary relief, but creates lots of health problems associated with so called “Side effects!” So you end up trading one problem for another. That is “MAKE BELIEVE HEALTH.”
So if you see a doctor and he asks you some questions, gives you a pill, you end up typically with the booby prize, bad health while feeling better as you deteriorate. It’s important to determine the “Root Cause” of the anxiety and address that rather than treating the symptom.
Regular exercise has been shown to do more for depression and anxiety than any drug or other treatment being used by so called professional medical people. I would try that first and do your homework to figure out what is causing the problem and address that.
good luck to you
