Did a neurologist diagnose you with anxiety? Did he/she follow up with treatment for anxiety? Or refer you to a neuropsychologist for follow-up and treatment?

There is no single test for anxiety, it is a clinical diagnosis, just as there is no single test for several of the neurological disorders, they are diagnosed clinically. But after a clinical diagnosis comes treatment and if the treatment is successful, you have an answer of sorts.

It seems ironic that your doctors would rely on tests alone when it comes to your symptoms but not need a test to diagnose you with anxiety. At the very least it seems unprofessional to give you a diagnosis but no treatment or referral for treatment.

That's why I'd see another neurologist, for sure!
