Do you think anxiety is an emotion or a disorder?

Why do people with anxiety think it's a disorder rather than a emotion? I hear people all the time say "I have anxiety" like it's a disability or something. They use it as some bad excuse to get out of social situations they didn't like being in. And the worse thing is they use the excuse more and more and more until they can't even have a normal conversation with their friends without getting anxious. I don't see how the person expects to get better at socializing, the more often they avoid social situations. You ain't going to run faster sitting down, so how do you think socializing will get easier the more meds you eat and the more hours you clock up in your room? |

I think everyone gets anxious but some people get anxious irrationally and I would say that that is a disorder |

I think some people are just genetically predisposed to higher amounts of anxiety than others. Might have something to do with individual GABA levels in the brain or it's receptor areas. |

You can also say, I have bad anxiety which means you get worse anxiety than most people which again changes the word. Anxiety disorder and anxiety are not the same word because there's a whole other word in there to make the definition different. I don't think it's such a great idea to merge the two words together. Let's say this, someone's nervous infront of me and they say they feel uncomfortable in crowds I'd say you get a bit of anxiety that's no problem. They might take it as they have a disorder which isn't true at all. A lot of people get anxious in crowds and since we squished the words together we made this person overthink their problem which is the absolute worse thing you could do to a person with anxiety because their problem is literally overthinking thing (being anxious/worried). When I talk about anxiety with people now days I have to specify talking about an emotion rather than the disorder which I think is definitely playing a part in the increasing anxiety problem in the world. |

none severe anxiety can just be called worrying clinical anxiety that is labeled as more severe that can make people have poor functional life should be diagnose by professionals like clinical psychologist or psychiatrist btw many mental medication like neuroleptics are tranquilizers so it tries to lessen emotion, so in a way mental illness is a emotional disorder too |

Anxiety is something everybody has (whether a little or a lot), so obviously if someone says they have a disorder for it, that's subjective. Personally I'll just believe them... my teachers tried to say I had ADD in middle school and I straight up told them to go to hell like yo, I don't want any condition lol. But if you say you have it I'll just accept that. |

That's not what I said, I said why is anxiety a disorder? Maybe I need to make this question more personal. Why is anxiety a disorder to you? Can you answer me that question? I'm not talking about people with disorders, I'm specifically talking about the emotion/word anxiety here. I don't want to just only compare extreme cases as the definition. |

Ikaros_42oh said: But again anxiety isn't the condition, it's the state they're in. So it's not a disorder, an anxiety disorder is a disorder. It's the disorder that makes the word a disorder.anxiety over the long term is abnormal and unhealthy and is still a state of mind, thats how it can fit the definition as ive been saying. The part that makes anxiety a disorder is the word disorder, that's the thing that makes it abnormal and unhealthy. Anxiety isn't abnormal or unhealthy but an anxiety disorder is. So again I'll ask you, what do you think makes anxiety a disorder? I personally can't see a reason to call anxiety a disorder when we have a perfectly normal word we can add on called disorder to described the condition rather than the state of mind. |

Everything is a disorder today. You can't write? Disorder. You can't talk with others? Disorder. You are a loser and suck at everything? Disorder.

And it's coming from someone who fought with extreme shyness ("anxiety" lol) from early childhood. |

Every single person feels anxious at one point in their life, so yeah it's an emotion anyone can feel. When it becomes something that's affecting your everyday life, that makes trivial activities incredibly difficult or impossible and just overall reducing your quality of life then it's a chronic illness, and it's a disorder. So it's both. Either way, no matter the severity, anxiety is what it is. And it f***ing sucks. Arguing over the words anxiety or anxiety disorder is just useless semantics lmao. |

"anxiety disorder" isn't just something that the snowflake millennials came up with. current medical research even suggests that there is chemistry imbalance in the brain that impacts such disorders. plus how else can you categorize it? when someone has such bad anxiety that they have panic attacks, trouble breathing, shaking, and frequent suicidal thoughts, you can't just play it off. my b if you're just tryna troll tho. |

I still don't think anxiety is a disorder whatsoever, it's still an emotion in my eyes and needs more descriptive words to make it a disorder. |

I think anxiety and anxiety disorder are two different things. Everyone gets anxious or nervous sometimes, but people with an anxiety disorder feel that way at times when it doesn't make sense, or they often overthink little things until it seems like a huge deal to them. |

DeadIEnd said: But it's not labelled as anxiety, it then labelled as an anixety disorder, doesn't it? Because anxiety doesn't inherently mean it's a disorder, you need to add more to the word for it to mean a disorder.When it prevents you from living a normal life, is continous and you clearly suffer from it, meeting the specific criterea to be diagnosable, it's labeled as a disorder. Ryagan said: Some edgelord doesn't understand anxiety and asks people on an internet forum to answer a question that could easily be answered by doing a quick Google search. Nothing interesting here. Moving along. I've said this plenty times in the thread. I honestly think I'm just repeating myself at this point since most of you still haven't answered it correctly without dodging my question. I know anxiety disorders exist, yes I'm perfectly aware of that. But I don't understand how anxiety (the state/emotion) can mean an anxiety disorder without bastardizing the word (thanks @Unconcerned I was trying to find that word). Under no official dictionary I've read it states anxiety means they've got an anxiety disorder. Never, not once. I know anxiety disorders exist, but that's not what anxiety means, anxiety does not mean the person has an anxiety disorder. It's the word disorder makes the word disorder a disorder. please stop making me repeat myself |

Turnip said: Most, if not all mood disorders (and anxiety-related disorders which for all intents and purposes fall under the same branch), are essentially just extreme expressions of a mood state / emotion / whatever. I know anxiety disorders exist, yes I'm perfectly aware of that. But I don't understand how anxiety (the state/emotion) can mean an anxiety disorder without bastardizing the word Their really isn't a clear line where This much = Anxiety, This much = Anxiety Disorder. The line drawn to determine when it is diagnosable as a disorder is relatively arbitrary, albeit needed since anxiety severe enough should warrant one the ability to seek profession help - help they would most likely be unable to get without health insurance. Another example would be depression; I can say "I'm depressed", but that does not mean I have Major Depressive Disorder does it? |

A good indicator that you have abnormal anxiety are frequent panic attacks If you never experienced them before you cannot relate to it all. It is next level dread with no reasoning behind it. It is easily distinguishable from say performance anxiety. It is like the fear of being chased by a feral animal except there is no animal chasing you lol |

I think it's a way of shortening the sentence that depends on the connotation. When someone says 'I have anxiety', most people will think they mean 'I have an anxiety [disorder]'. However, if they'll say 'I am very anxious at the moment', you'll know it's a temporary emotion. It's all about wording and proper tense use. |

If someone says I have anxiety, I would be thinking recently they've being feeling anxious/nervous or uneasy. If someone says I have depression, I would be thinking recently they've being feeling unhappy and sad/depressed. But some people in the room would think they have a disorder which completely goes against the definition and skews it into another category a much more severe one. It's normal for people to get depression or anxiety. But thanks to the bastardization of words people with think they have disorders. I just want some evidence that shows the word meaning it's a disorder because it doesn't mean it at all. People are just misusing it in that context, which I don't think is very useful since it kinda of covers up the emotion as a problem rather than an emotion that everyone gets. |

Anxiety is only an emotion/state of mind. i don't understand where you're coming from? if you acknowledge the fact that there is "anxiety disorder", a mental condition/illness that is wholly different than "feeling anxious", how can you not believe in anxiety as a disorder? what you're arguing is the semantics, but what's the point of focusing on that when the bigger picture (and the answer to your original question) is that anxiety as a passing emotion is so much more different than it as a disorder? like yeah, when people say they have "anxiety", they mean they feel anxiety. when people say they have "an anxiety disorder" it means they have the medical condition. what else do u want? like no matter how much you repeat yourself, you're not conveying your point. |

@Turnip There's the dictionary, and there's the common language people agree on depending on what they hear from their surroundings and their culture... If you'll translate 'I have anxiety' in my native tongue most people will understand I am anxious at the moment. However in spoken English it's different compared to my language. There is the dictionary- which you can call the literate way of saying things (deriving from the word literature) and there's the common day to day language which is based on social norms of saying things- there you can use slang for example. Correct me if I'm wrong.. I think most people on this thread are having a hard time understanding what do you mean exactly based on your points in your posts. |

Uhhh, don't worry dude that totally wasn't intention. I didn't mean to make it look like I was talking about how there's no such thing as anxiety disorders in my opening post... No way, that can't be me! Comfy- said: I think you might be tangled up there.DeadIEnd said: Comfy- said: mediocre bait thread.
