4. Do you feel stressed beyond your limits?
5. Do you feel a constant worry, tension or apprehensive about things in the future?
6. Have you experienced symptoms of anxiety like a rapid heart beat, uncontrollable sweating, frequent urination, diarrhea, dizziness or fainting?
7. Are you uncommunicative, withdrawn or lonely?
8. Are you obsessed with thoughts of death, dying and suicide?
9. Are you disinterested in things that normally make you happy? (school, work, sports, friends, family?)
