Anxiety is diagnosed by a mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, or licensed therapist, through a clinical interview and assessment.
The professional will ask the patient about their symptoms, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to determine if they meet the criteria for an anxiety disorder as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The patient may also be asked to complete self-report questionnaires or undergo psychological tests to help with the diagnosis.
Additionally, a physical examination and lab tests may be conducted to rule out any underlying medical conditions that could be causing the symptoms.
The diagnosis will be based on the patient's reported experiences, the presence of specific symptoms, and the duration and intensity of the symptoms.
