You've Been Diagnosed With an Anxiety Disorder. Now What?

Psychiatric diagnosis is not an exact science-a diagnosing clinician makes their best, most educated guess based upon a patient's reporting of symptoms. It is neither bulletproof nor conclusive, the way an X-ray or an MRI might be. With this in mind, it is important that the diagnosed individual interpret the diagnosis not as their identity, but rather as information for proceeding. Instead of 'I am anxious,' we might change the language to sound something like, 'I experience anxiety.'
