She is also into lifestyle medicine and thinks that it's important to differentiate between anxiety that is clinical and anxiety that is not. Clinical anxiety is defined by a specific constellation of symptoms and it impacts your functioning for six months or more. I see a lot of people in the wellness world who try to manage their anxiety on their own. Still, it's important to know if we're talking about subclinical anxiety or clinical anxiety.
