Testing Anxiety

Health Encyclopedia: Anxiety Disorders Diagnosis

Diagnosis

A physical examination and medical and personal history is essential. Because anxiety accompanies so many medical conditions, some serious, it is extremely important for the doctor to uncover any medical problems or medications that might underlie or be masked by an anxiety attack.

The patient should describe any occurrence of anxiety disorders or depression in the family and mention any other contributing factors, such as excessive caffeine use, recent life changes, or stressful events.
