No, it doesn't. Just because you feel uneasy in certain situations does not mean your mental, your worrying is just amplified by anxiety and you get more scared than others. That's all it is.

In my opinion, no. The meaning of crazy is something completely blown out of proportion or repeated without expecting a different result.

Having anxiety does not mean you are crazy at all. In fact, anxiety is a very common issue to have. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), about 40 million of American adults suffer from anxiety. Not only are you not crazy for having anxiety, you are not alone in this struggle.

Anxiety does not mean your crazy or mental. Everyone has anxiety yet to certain levels. Some higher than others. Some lower than others.

Not at all. It's perfectly normal to have anxiety and everyone does get it. Every person experiences it at different levels and at different times and also they react differently to it. But by no means does it make you crazy.

No anxiety doesn't mean you're crazy or mental. It is a natural occurrence that happens to some people during a time in their life and can be triggered due to certain events.

No, not at all. Many people experience anxiety throughout their lives (it's one of the most common mental illnesses in the U.S. alone). However, a lot of people associate mental illness with craziness/mental and it can be quite damaging. You may feel better about what you're going through by remembering that you're not alone and you do not have to look down on yourself for struggling with it.

No, everyone has experienced anxiety at some point in their life. Anxiety is a normal thing in articular situations. For example, its perfectly normal to feel anxious before speaking publicly or before a performance. It doesn't mean that you are mentally crazy.
