When it's becoming to much for you to handle, and you can't always say "Yeah I got this," when you really don't. If you can't breathe or speak, or function properly. You should seek professional help to deal with it, and so you can learn how to handle with some support.

When you start to feel it as a normal part of your everyday life. I started feeling anxiety at school. and it was so bad that I could not go. So, I have to be home schooled.

When you think that your anxiety is getting out of hand and no positive thinking or breathing exercise is helping. Also when your anxiousness proves to be an obstacle in your day to day life and causes you distress..you should get help.

It becomes necessary to seek professional help when you start thinking that feelings of anxiety are normal. When you start thinking that being afraid to make eye contact with people and being too scared to wear that cute shirt you really like is your daily routine. Seek help when your hands start shaking and your vision gets blurry at the thought of waking up another day. Talk to someone when your sister announces her first pregnancy and all you can feel is nothing, your senses numb. You try to be happy for her, but you can't. Get help when you are not happy anymore. You are allowed to feel happy. You are allowed to be human. You do not have to live with anxiey.

Whenever you feel it's necessary! There is no for-sure way of telling when, and anxiety disorders are an immensely personal situation. If you're asking this, I'd say you should probably consider it because it seems like you feel like it's something to consider.

When it begins to hinder your daily life. Anxiety is a normal occurrence however anxiety that leads to depressive thoughts or impairs your ability to go about your day (especially if it lasts longer than a couple hours) is concerning and you should talk to a professional who can help evaluate your triggers and help you begin to function again.

Anxiety isn't only an emotion. Over time, it becomes a chronic physiological behavior, affecting not only the way you feel, but how your body feels. Bottom line, it can make you really sick! Anxiety may very easily spiral out of control as well, and is also very tricky to handle, which is why a professional is helpful and can use calming, behavioral techniques that others don't know.

Anxiety is a disease, just like any other. You wouldn't attempt to treat your own cancer, so why would you try to treat anxiety by yourself? While there's a lot of work that you can do on your own, a professional really is a necessary component of combating this diagnosis.

The short answer is whenever you start question whether or not you should. If it has gotten to the point where you need to ask yourself this question, you should seek treatment. It may be intimidating or you may feel embarrassed doing so at first, but the people treating and helping you through this work with people struggling on a daily basis. These are people that truly do care and have your best interests in mind. I would recommend that you contact your general physician and s/he will be able to direct you to problem-specific care in your area. I hope this helps.

Anxiety is common symptom. Any person can have that. Just like when someone has lost the valet in travel/got a sudden exam/to attend something without preparation etc. When anxiety shows physical and mental symptoms on daily basis or weekly basis your body is telling you to get HEALED!

When it affects your daily life, causes stress, lingers in the back of your mind, and starts to take a toll on everyday life. That is when it is NECESSARY. However, if you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, it is always beneficial to ask a professional for help.

It depends on how much anxiety you deal with. It's "normal" to have anxiety towards a test or a presentation. if you experience it everyday and can't stop thing about things in the future then you should seek help. But even though it maybe mild anxiety it okay if you see a therapist for a couple of sessions to see how bad its affecting you. ITS BETTER TO GET HELP BEFORE IT GETS WORSE

I believe it is necessary to seek professional help to deal with anxiety when it interferes with your daily life. When you are so anxious you are unable to hold down a job or interact with family then you should seek help.

It doesn't have to reach a certain point to seek professional help. People without mental illnesses or major life problems see therapists. Go to one if you think that you could have an anxiety disorder, maybe start with a close and trusted adult like a Pastor or a guidance counselor or even your parents, and then go from there. It's never an issue to as for help :)
