Your doctor knows that anxiety problems are not the result of a “weak” or “defective” personality. Anxiety problems happen to people no matter how “strong” or “good” they are. Your doctor will understand that you are a person who is struggling with an anxiety problem and will not blame you for your problems.
Remember, you are not alone! Your doctor spends a lot of her/his day talking to people about very personal and private problems. That is what doctors do.
The Anxiety Test Final Report makes talking to your doctor a little easier. When you are ready, in another part of the site you can take the Anxiety Test. After you answer some questions (all information is private and confidential), you, and only you, will receive a Final Report. The Final Report explains to your doctor that you have taken the test online and lists if you show any symptoms. All you need to do is take the Final Report to your doctor and share the results.
You could
- say that you have some concerns about anxiety and took an anxiety test on the Internet.
- hand your doctor the final report.
You could
- hand your doctor the Final report and say nothing at all.
Your doctor will know what to do from there. Remember, your doctor can’t help you until you ask for help. It may seem like it’s easier said than done, but a lot of people find they feel better just sharing their concerns with their doctor.
