mostly not, especially when we understand about how people mind controlled each aspect in our physical body

Being diagnosed with anxiety does not ruin your life. It may make things a little harder for you than it is for other people but that does not mean your life will be ruined I promise.

No, there are many options that can help you cope with your anxiety, maybe you can talk to your doctor or a therapist about your options!

I don't think it RUINs your life, but it changes it. Some places it will make you stronger, and in others, it can make you unable to move.

No, not at all. Like myself, I suffer with mild anxiety and have to talk medication for it only when I NEED to. It is actually "better" in that you know why you're feeling a certain way and what things can trigger a certain emotion in you so you're not left with questions and confusion about how you're feeling. Also if you tell close friends and family about your diagnosis then they won't treat you any differently at all. In fact it'll help explain to them why you don't want to do a certain thing like go to a certain social event or be in a crowded room or whatever makes you feel this way. It's not all bad.

Not at all. After all, knowledge is power. If somebody is diagnosed with an anxiety disorder then they know what they're dealing with. The next step is to research how to deal with the anxiety, use anxiety forums for peer support and of course coming here to talk to a listener can help somebody with anxiety to move forward.

No it does not. Being diagnosed with anything does not define someone as who they are, or who they will be. To let something like a diagnosis become a limiting factor in how you or anyone else will run their life is not an option. Use what you have, everyone is unique, everyone has something they can apply, everyone has something they can use, and everyone has "problems". No one is perfect, if you are diagnosed, its simply finding out that you have another stepping stone to get over. Does it ruin your life, only if you let it, so, stand tall, stand strong, and don't let something that many people struggle with stop you from becoming a great, and powerful person!
