No! Sometimes anxiety can make you seem like that, though. People who deal with anxiety are just everyday people, who function a little bit differently than, say, somebody with out it. But it’s nothing major, and sure as hell nothing to be afraid of.
no anxiety to some degree is normal everyone experiences it. if your over anxious worry about everything or things that dont even happen that too is normal to some people being crazy/mental are tottally different things.
no,we all anxious for some reasons and we all overthink so its normal thing or natural actually..but you should seek help before it gets worse

Absolutely not! A key trait of being "crazy" is not knowing /denying that you are unstable. Crazy people experience much more than just anxiety.

Not at all. 40 million+ people have anxiety, and it is a common disorder. Talking to others with anxiety may help you feel more accepted in the self-care community.
No, everyone has anxiety. Some have it more than others, sure. But having more anxiety just means you have more on your mind. If you have a lot of anxiety it's possible you have a mental disorder, or GAD, but it doesn't mean you're crazy.
No! Having anxiety doesn't mean your crazy it just means you are worrying a lot and is very stressed

Of course not! Everyone gets anxiety from time to time and even if you get more of it, it just means you need to find an outlet. Not that you are “crazy or mentalâ€.

No it does not mean that your crazy/mental. Anxiety is a mental illness like depression but having those things doesn't mean your crazy
Having anxiety means you feel things in a stronger or diferent way than others. We all have our limits and that is normal. You are not crazy, a lot of people experience pain or distress they don't want to feel.

having a mental issue does not make you crazy. Anxiety is a serious mental illness which needs to be cured in order to have a better life. That is it. You are not crazy.

Of course not! It just means you're more of a shy person. There is nothing wrong with being shy. You might not want to be around too many people but that's alright!😀ðŸ˜

Not at all! Clinical Anxiety is a common thing that a lot of patients experience. Now, that doesn't mean it's easy to overcome. It isn't. However, you are not crazy or mental.
Defiantly not, you can not control your body or you mind you just have to learn it’s boundries and learn how to deal and cope with it nothing makes anyone crazy / mental your perfectly fine just the way you are.
Absolutely not. Anxiety is a consequence of several life issues / life style /stress level /traumas and sometimes its a result of being raised in a certain way where fear and anxiety is common in a family.
Absolutely not. It is normal to have feelings like this. Everybody experiences anxiety, however if you find that you aren't able to overcome it on your own, you should seek help from friends, family or even therapists.
No, it does not. Anxiety can stem from many different reasons and often has to do with how you perceive a situation or a problem area in your life.
Absolutely not, remember that a certain level of anxiety is actually beneficial and critical for survival. When it creeps into impacting our day to day in a negative way is when it can be considered a disorder. But never associate it a natural human state to being crazy/mental.

Having anxiety does not mean you are either crazy or mental. It simply means that you sometimes have a little fear about doing things some people don't, such as going to a large party.
No, it certainly does not. While mental health goes ignored, and is sometimes portrayed as being crazy - suffering from anxiety does not make you crazy.
Not at all. Many people have anxiety about different things.Anxiety is very common and having it doesn’t make you crazy.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point in their life. There is nothing wrong with those who face this struggle more than others. Anxiety comes from something and is not random.

No, I have anxiety and I do not feel crazy. I feel like it is an illness and it hurts, but it can be controlled well with different techniques, exercises, and medication.
Having anxiety does not mean you are crazy. Sometimes it is brought on by being exposed to to much stress that your mind and body can't cope with. you can learn to cope with it and you can get help from a professional.

Not necessarily. Being anxious means you're constantly worried about anything or something specific.
Absolutely NOT. Anxiety is the defense mechanism that occurs when the body has been under too much stress.
