Is It Anxiety or Something Worse? 6 Ways to Tell


Listen Later

We've all felt anxious at times. But what if the anxiety is constant, causing mysterious physical symptoms and leaving you feeling disconnected from reality?

You might wonder if it's something more serious.

Many people with anxiety pinpoint a panic attack as the beginning of their struggles. These attacks are terrifying and can make you feel like danger lurks around every corner. Such a heightened state of alert can lead to misinterpreting normal physical sensations as threats.

Sometimes, after a battery of tests, doctors rule out medical conditions and land on "anxiety" as the culprit. This can be frustrating, but it also offers an opportunity to focus on managing anxiety rather than searching for a physical cause.

In this episode, I’ll explain the mind-body connection in anxiety and offer 6 ways to tell if what you're experiencing is anxiety or something else.
