What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Make an appointment with a psychologist or therapist to discuss a diagnosis of anxiety. Certain medical professionals are qualified to diagnose anxiety, including psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, social works, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and some physicians who are well-trained in mental health diagnosis. Try asking your general practitioner for a referral to someone who can give you a diagnosis. You may be given a psychological evaluation, which can include answering questions about your symptoms, thoughts, behaviors, moods, and feelings and filling out a questionnaire. Once you have a diagnosis, this can be a huge relief. You now have the awareness to bring healing and improved health to your life. You may want to rule out certain diagnoses or medication interactions, which is why it can be helpful to meet your general practitioner. Talk about your symptoms with your physician. You may be given a physical exam or have some lab tests taken.  Be sure to discuss any medications you use, in addition to any supplements, vitamins, or herbs you take. Discuss any substances you’ve used recently and regular alcohol consumption or tobacco use, as well as caffeine consumption. If you do have an anxiety diagnosis, it’s best to start treatment right away. The faster you address your anxiety disorder, the better you can begin to feel. Many people choose to attend therapy as a primary way of addressing symptoms. Cognitive-behavior therapy is a technique that helps you think and act differently by challenging irrational beliefs that have a basis in fear and negative thought patterns and replacing them with more positive thoughts.  Your therapist may teach you certain relaxation methods which can help calm anxiety, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation. Practice relaxation and calming activities regularly to buffer stress and anxiety. You can also learn strategies to use in the moment, as you’re experiencing anxiety or a panic attack, such as grounding techniques and diversion skills.

Summary:
Consult with a mental health professional. Meet with a physician. Plan for treatment.
