Be proactive about your mental health

Take the quiz, learn the signs

The American Psychological Association (APA) defines anxiety as "an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure."

Knowing the difference between normal feelings of anxiety and an anxiety disorder requiring medical attention can help a person identify and treat the condition.

The following questions can help you determine your level of anxiety. If you notice yourself answering that you frequently experience these feelings, it may be time to talk with a professional who can work with you to find brighter days.
