when it interferes with your ability to be successful and functional in your day to day life. That's when it's considered a disorder.
When anxiety is impacting your life in some way (e.g., affecting your work, study, relationships, or health) it is definitely a good idea to see a doctor and/or mental health worker. Mild anxiety is highly treatable and it's best to learn how to cope with anxiety at an earlier stage – to stop it from ever getting moderate or severe!
It's when you believe you're anxiety has gotten worst. If you think that, go to your family doctor they will know best what is best for you.
