How can anxiety disorder be diagnosed?

Anxiety disorder is the abbreviation of anxiety neurosis, which is a psychological disease. The patient's other body systems do not have any diseases and are not dangerous, so it will not be life-threatening. The treatment for patients and friends should first be psychotherapy. Only by having a correct understanding of the cause can we solve specific difficulties, but many people do not know the symptoms of anxiety disorder. So, how can anxiety disorder be diagnosed?

The diagnosis is mainly made by a specialist based on medical history, family history, clinical symptoms, course of disease, physical examination, scale measurements and laboratory auxiliary tests. The most important of these are clinical symptoms and course of disease. The specific diagnostic criteria can be referred to the diagnosis of anxiety disorders in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). In addition, as an early screening or self-diagnosis, you can also use some simple anxiety self-rating scales, such as SAS. If the score is high, it is recommended to go to the psychiatry or psychology department for further examination. Anxiety disorder is a neurotic disease with relatively good treatment effect and prognosis. It should be particularly emphasized that doctors generally make comprehensive considerations based on the patient's condition, physical condition, financial situation and other factors. It is generally recommended to take the medicine for about 1 to 2 years. Please consult your doctor if you wish to stop taking the medication or increase the dosage. Do not adjust the medication regimen on your own. While taking the medicine, be sure to keep in touch with your doctor and resolve any side effects or other problems in a timely manner.

Neurasthenia patients may have anxiety symptoms, but the anxiety and tension of anxiety disorder are more prominent than the general symptoms of neurasthenia. Phobias are often manifested as fear and severe anxiety about a certain object, disease or environment, and are often accompanied by other obsessive thoughts and behaviors. Although they are accompanied by anxiety, they are different from anxiety disorders. For general anxiety disorder, tension, uneasiness, and worry usually persist for a long time. Therefore, if you worry about something, such as study or work, for more than half a year, it will constitute anxiety disorder.

Patients should face the disease squarely, not have any psychological burden, have confidence in defeating the disease, learn to divert their attention, control their emotions, go with the flow, and be at ease. You also need to improve your psychological endurance and learn to deal with various difficult situations. Finally, I wish all patients and friends a speedy recovery!
