The best way to find out if you have an anxiety disorder is to meet with a psychologist or therapist who will ask you a lot of questions about you before and after the event.
It is possible to develop an anxiety disorder after an event. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Acute Stress Disorder are serious anxiety disorders that sometimes occur after a life-threatening event.
You can also develop less serious anxiety symptoms after an event that can mildly effect your daily living. This is called an Adjustment Disorder with anxiety.
It is also possible that a person can have low levels of anxiety before an event that did not interfere with daily activities, but the event was scary or stressful enough to make those symptoms increase exponentially (kind of like the last straw).
Eating disorders and anxiety pretty much come together. Most people with an eating disorder also report anxiety related to body image, food, etc.
Again, the best way to find out is to consult with a mental health professional.
really, u need a doctor to give a diagnosis. you can’t just say you have it.
yes, you can have an anxiety disorder from an event.
It is called Post traumatic Stress disorder- PTSD
Go to the Doctor to see for sure.

A stressful event can lead to anxiety if the nature of that loss or perceived loss is not processed and dealt with. In severe cases of abuse, or trauma a person can suffer with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. This may consist of periods of severe anxiety, panic or depressive incidents. Check with local community mental health centres for advice on how to deal with this issue. Best of luck.
