Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

CAN ANXIETY DISORDERS BE 100% DISABLING?

That's a tough one...I know that, for me, it has disabled some aspects of my work life, but not entirely. It took me all of my 20s to learn coping mechanisms

Maybe get a second opinion from another doctor. Anxiety is known to usually be accompanied by depression as a result of a condition. Best consult your psychiatrist and share what you’ve just shared on here with us. There’s so many variables to mental health and it’s best to take it to the big wigs!

"disabling" is currently a word which needs context. going for a 100% disability paycheck and benefits is an entirely different context than pulling out of catatonic dissociation. i've experienced catatonic dissociation and it is 100% disabling while in episode, but healing happens.

going for a government rating is a whole different ballgame. i've been offered the government rating and declined on the basis that it felt too much like giving up hope by declaring it a permanent condition.

praying with you, mystic.
hope healing happens here.

Yes, I think is disableing. I feel endanger when I am working. At any job. But I only have take a small amount of medication. If I am more serious, I do not think I can work.

Yes. I am on disability for OCD, depression, anxiety, and memory dysfunction as my attorney put it. I finally had a brain MRI last December and the results were good in that I don't have dementia but he said I have anxiety. YouTube has good videos about how anxiety can affect you.

It can be disabling, but it can also be cured. I have been there and am not there now. When I was where you are I couldn't imagine that I have ever felt any other way. It's all about NEVER giving up and find the right drug/health solution for you.
