Anxiety Disorder, a form of mental health condition, manifests as an overwhelming response of fear and dread to certain stimuli or situations. Individuals with anxiety disorders may also experience physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and excessive sweating. While some level of anxiety is normal, there are various types of anxiety disorders, including panic disorder and social anxiety disorder. These disorders can be caused by a combination of factors, such as genetics, brain chemistry, environmental stressors, drug withdrawal or misuse, and underlying medical conditions. We gained valuable insights from Dr. Orlean Brown Earle, a renowned Consultant Psychologist and Professor at Northern Caribbean University.
When experiencing symptoms, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional who will conduct a comprehensive examination, including a review of medical history and possibly tests to rule out other potential causes. While there are no specific lab tests to diagnose anxiety disorders, a doctor may refer you to a psychiatrist, psychologist, or another mental health specialist for further assessment. These experts will utilize tools, testing, and in-depth questioning to determine if an anxiety disorder is present.
