Anxiety Rating 21 - 40: Elevated anxiety

Your anxiety is elevated above the normal range. You should work to lower your overall anxiety. Doing so will help your body maintain its normal health.

Additional comments:
Anxiety normally ebbs and flows with life circumstances. Therefore, everyone experiences anxiety to some degree. But anxiety that generally stays within this range has the potential to cause health problems if it is allowed to remain at this level over an extended period of time.

Since anxiety stresses the body, and a stressed body can become ill and symptomatic if stress is allowed to remain high for too long, it’s wise to keep your anxiety to a minimum and to regularly manage your stress so that your body can remain healthy over the long-term.

Anxiety that regularly remains in this range can cause health problems over time. To help reduce the negative effects of anxiety at this level, you may want to begin or increase a routine of regular relaxation and rest, regular mild exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting good sleep, and making more time to play and have fun.

You might also find it helpful to learn more about anxiety so that you can learn healthier ways of dealing with life’s challenges. Since knowledge is one of the most important tools in managing anxiety-–the more you know the better off you’ll most likely be–-accessing good self-help information and applying its concepts can play an important role in returning your anxiety into the normal range, thusly ensuring lasting normal health.
