Based on your answers, living with these symptoms could be causing difficulty managing relationships or the tasks of everyday life.
These results do not mean that you have anxiety, but it may be time to start a conversation with a mental health professional. Finding the right treatment plan and working with a healthcare provider can help you feel more like you again.
The anxiety symptoms you are experiencing may also be complicated by other mental health issues. We recommend you also take the tests for Depression, Panic Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder.
This screen is not meant to be a diagnosis. Diagnosis and care of mental health conditions can be difficult. Having symptoms of anxiety is different than having an anxiety disorder. In addition, symptoms of anxiety can be caused by other mental health conditions, or other health problems, like a thyroid disorder. Only a trained professional, such as a mental health provider, can make this determination. However, by printing the results and bringing it to a mental health professional, you can open up the conversation.
Anxiety symptoms often include excessive worry, restlessness, and a sense of impending doom. Physical symptoms, such as increased heart rate, sweating, trembling, and muscle tension, are also common. People with anxiety may find it difficult to control their worries, leading to disruptions in sleep, concentration, and daily activities. In severe cases, anxiety can cause panic attacks, which involve intense fear, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health conditions in the U.S., affecting around 31% of adults at some point in their lives. Generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder are among the most prevalent types. Anxiety affects people of all ages, with symptoms often beginning in childhood or adolescence and persisting into adulthood if untreated.
Anxiety is commonly treated with a combination of therapy and lifestyle adjustments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is highly effective for anxiety, helping individuals identify and manage negative thought patterns. Online counseling is also a beneficial option, offering therapy and coping techniques in a convenient, flexible format. Many people with anxiety find relief through a combination of therapy and self-care strategies, like mindfulness and regular physical activity.
Untreated anxiety can lead to chronic stress, negatively impacting physical health with increased risks of heart disease, hypertension, and other stress-related conditions. Anxiety can also interfere with personal relationships, work, and daily functioning, often leading to depression, social isolation, and a decreased quality of life. Early treatment can reduce these risks and help individuals manage anxiety effectively, improving overall well-being.
Yes, online counseling is an effective way to treat and manage anxiety. Through virtual sessions, individuals can engage in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic approaches from the comfort of home. Online counseling offers flexibility, making it easier to maintain regular therapy sessions. Many people find that virtual therapy provides the support they need to manage symptoms, practice coping skills, and build resilience against anxiety.
We recommend online counseling which can be very effective at treating Anxiety.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a therapist via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It can help address self-destructive behaviors, limiting beliefs, painful feelings, relationship issues, and more.
It is convenient for those who either cannot travel or would prefer not to meet with a therapist in-person. Starting at $65 per week, it can also be more affordable than in-person counseling and is available worldwide.
Anxiety is real, common, and treatable with online counseling.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
