Do I have anixety disorders?

I am not sure if I do have an anxiety disorders.. But let me clarify everything to you.

I am a fifteen years old and have one therapist and a school counselor. My therapist recently told me that I have anxiety disorders. Because I have been depressed a lot lately and worried too much. Because I have troubling issues with relationships, friendships, my lifestyle, my family ( I have a hard time to communicate with them. ), and education.

At once, in two weeks ago, I went to track for practice. Then all of a sudden, I sat down and something popped up in my mind but actually, words were mixed in my thoughts. Then it caused me cry..I didn't understand why. But I don't know if I do have panic attacks.. Well, please let me know if you've had experienced this before which would be helpful.

Additionally, I still have been going through tough times. Otherwise, I am deaf.


Thank you so much.

Hi Nina,

You can have an anxiety attack and not get panic attacks.
Depression can make you all of a sudden start to cry.
Alot of the time depression and anxiety are linked but not always.

Anxiety also is very easy to diagnose, so your therapist is probably right.

Constant worrying is anxiety, whether or not it becomes a problem later I don't know.

What do you think will happen when you start to worry?

Oh, I get it. Is that normal for me because I am a teenager? Or what? But thank you, sadgurl. (smile)

I don't know if it's because your a teen ... I was diagnosed with anxiety at 15 or 16... and I know that i've had it longer then that, i'm 25 now and still get anxiety...

I think it varies for everyone.
