No it does not. Anxiety can affect anybody from any walk of life. You are not crazy and you are not alone. Many people suffer in silence. You should always talk and recieve help for your anxiety.

Absolutly not! Having anxiety is only about anxiety, not about being crazy/mental. Don't worry. There is nothing to worry about.

No having anxiety doesn't mean your crazy or mental. You have your mental faculties in order and you know what your doing.

No, it means that you have issues with one or another thing that can be literally anything you make it to be. Anxiety can come from the simplest things, from school, to family pressure. Literally everything. It does not mean you're insane, crazy or mental.

Not at all! Having anxiety means that you have trouble collecting your thoughts and keeping calm sometimes, but this doesn't mean that you're psychotic and need to be restrained for life. For me, it means that I need to take a step back and review a situation before jumping to conclusions.

No! You should never feel like you are different from others because of your challenges. We all have struggles

Of course it doesn't, just because you have a mental illness does not mean you are crazy at all, anxiety is caused by so many things including stress, a lot of people have it these days. So no, it doesn't make you crazy and it can be treated.

Not at all. What does crazy or mental even mean? Anxiety can be a good thing and a normal part of life, it motivates us and shows that we care about something. When anxiety effects, prevents, or causing bad feelings we may need to re learn how to to cope with certain situations. You are not crazy

Having anxiety is a natural human thing. Having an anxiety disorder is abnormal, but it not crazy or "mental."
