I find I have to be very explicit about my anxiety levels with my various mental health care providers. My anxiety is generalized and mainly manifests itself as physical symptoms that are highly uncomfortable for me, but do not in general interfere with my functioning. All my various Dr's have me classed as high functioning (Thank God for meds) but they do tend to downplay the anxiety part. My addictions Dr. get's my anxiety levels the best of all my health care providers, but she's not my prescribing Dr., that's my pdoc who has me on clonazapam but at a very strictly monitored dosage due to my addictions history.
