If we’re going to look at a common anxiety disorder symptom list – those most often experienced by sufferers – we first need to ask ourselves if they are indeed symptoms. Or if the word “sensations” would be more accurate and a better term to use. You see, most of them aren’t any more real than the “fear of impending doom” that’s causing them. They’re the result of our minds playing tricks on us, the same mind that’s telling us we need to fight some attacker or flee some danger that doesn’t really exist.

The term “symptom” refers to something caused by a disease, like a runny nose is a symptom of a common cold. But anxiety disorder is NOT a disease at all. The point here is that if we call the sensations caused by a false fight or flight response symptoms, we’re likely convincing ourselves that anxiety and panic disorders are diseases. And if they’re diseases, they should be treated with medications or medical procedures.

Do you see where I’m going with this line of logic? If we think of our anxiety problems as a disease, we’re not going to take responsibility for what our minds are doing to us. Therefore, we need to keep it in the right perspective, or we’ll never be able to properly treat – or better yet, cure – what is actually an emotional and psychological problem.
