A Simple Anxiety Test

This is a simple anxiety test for anybody who may think that they are suffering from an anxiety disorder.
As you take the anxiety self test, answer each question as honestly as possible.

Anxiety Test
Questions

1/  Do you experience shortness of breath, heart palpitation or shaking while at  rest?

2/  Do you have a fear of losing control or going crazy?

3/  Do you avoid social situations because of fear?

4/  Do you have fears of specific objects?

5/  Do you fear that you will be in a place or situation from which you cannot escape?

6/  Do you feel afraid of leaving your home?

7/  Do you have recurrent thoughts or images that refuse to go away?

8/  Do you feel compelled to perform certain activities repeatedly?

9/  Do you persistently relive an upsetting event from the past?

10/  Do you persistently relive an upsetting event from the past?

If you answered Yes to more than 3 or 4 items out of 10 you may have some sort of anxiety disorder. It is important at this stage not to put to much importance to the results until you have consulted your GP initially and if necessary a mental health expert.

It is also important to realize that this illness can be combatted successfully, and I am living proof of this.
