Defining anxiety disorders
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions in the United States. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), nearly 1 in 5 Americans — more than 19% — are affected. Anxiety can be triggered by a combination of environmental stressors, genetics, and trauma, and often co-occurs alongside conditions like depression or substance use disorders.
While no lab test can diagnose anxiety, clinicians may first rule out physical causes before conducting a comprehensive mental health evaluation. Accurate diagnosis is essential — particularly when co-occurring conditions are present — because effective treatment depends on addressing all underlying conditions together rather than in isolation.
