What is the process of getting diagnosed with an anxiety disorder?
social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, just wondering
i’m looking into getting help and wondering is there a test? or just based on what you say
& also can a doctor diagnose you or do you have to be referred…..
thankss 
An evalution done by a clincal psychologist or a psychiatrist can diagnose any mental illness, SAD and GAD included. Theres no real "test" they have certain questions they ask and a specifc way or criteria for diagnosing any mental illness. And id recomend not relying on a normal doctor about things to do with mental illness, they arent specialists and dont have th right tools to help you as much as a psychologist or psychiatrist does. Good luck
you have to go to your regular doctor and talk to him about how you are feeling and ask him to refer you to a psychiatrist. then the psychiatrist will ask you a bunch of questions and evaluate whether or not you really have an anxiety disorder.
A medical doctor can diagnose as well as some well trained therapists
