High functioning anxiety isn’t a diagnosable condition, and so, it can be difficult to identify, because those who have it don’t appear anxious. However, the calm appearance doesn’t make it any less real, serious, or painful for those who have it. Are you someone who could be suffering from high functioning anxiety? Do you know someone who might be?
