 Anxiety Disorder Spectrum

Anxiety runs along a wide spectrum, for some people thinking of speaking in front of a group of people may give them butterflies in the stomach, but when it comes to actually speaking to the group in real life it can feel like a heard of wild horse are galloping through their stomach.

When this happens the person has moved along the anxiety spectrum. The more intense the emotion the further along the spectrum we go.

Anxiety is measured over a spectrum in order to gauge if a person is suffering from an anxiety disorder
