Questions about this assessment

Do I have anxiety or am I just a worrier?

Worry is a thought. Anxiety is a state. When worry becomes persistent, physical, and starts limiting how you live, that is anxiety worth understanding.

What triggers anxiety?

Uncertainty. Lack of control. Past experiences that taught your nervous system to stay alert. Often it is not one thing but a pattern.

Can anxiety go away on its own?

Mild anxiety often eases with lifestyle changes. But chronic anxiety benefits from support, whether tools, therapy, or understanding the roots.

Is this test a diagnosis?

No. It is a mirror. It reflects patterns. A professional assessment is always more accurate and a better next step if you are concerned.
