If your anxiety self-assessment showed severe results, it's natural to feel lost about what to do next. This page provides clear, practical steps to find support and start managing your symptoms.
That sounds genuinely hard. A severe result on an anxiety assessment means your system is running at full tilt, and it makes sense that even small things feel impossible right now. The first thing to know is that this is treatable, and you do not have to fix everything at once — just one small step is enough to begin.
Start by showing this result to a professional. Anxiety that severe often benefits from a proper evaluation and, if needed, medication or therapy. Depression.pk has a directory at /find-help where you can search for psychiatrists and therapists near you. Many of them offer online sessions, and some work at affordable rates. If cost is a concern, government teaching hospitals have psychiatry departments that see patients for very little.
In the meantime, use our tools. The /tools page has worksheets for grounding, breathing exercises, and thought records that can take the edge off when anxiety peaks. The /learn/mindfulness guide explains simple ways to stop the spiral of overthinking. And Zara is always here to talk — just start a conversation on the site. She can help you slow down one thought at a time.
One thing that matters: do not try to go through this alone. Tell one person you trust — a family member, a close friend — that your anxiety is severe. Even if they do not fully understand, saying it out loud makes it less overwhelming. You have already taken the hardest step by checking where you stand. The next step does not have to be big. Just one.
