Everything that is associated with psychological disorders occurs along a “continuum of human experience,” says Fisher, meaning that the vast majority of us experience, and we are most definitely meant to experience, some of these anxiety symptoms at some point in our lives.
The most important thing when it comes to dealing with an anxiety disorder is your response. “I would start encouraging people to notice whether they’re really stressed and/or do they have a noticeable impairment,” says Fisher.
“Are they missing classes, are they missing days of work, are they avoiding social functions that they might otherwise want to go to, are they not going to see the movie they’re really excited about?” If the answer is YES, you should talk to a psychologist.
