Anxiety
What HealthTracker can help you record, and how patterns might be explored.
Draft content. These suggestions are common starting points for self-tracking, collected for this service. They have not yet been clinically reviewed and are not medical guidance. You can edit your own list after adding a condition.
What you can record
- A daily rating from 1 (very poor) to 5 (very good) of how much your condition affected you that day.
- Symptom measures you can edit:
- Worry (none, mild, moderate or severe)
- Physical tension (none, mild, moderate or severe)
- Difficulty sleeping (none, mild, moderate or severe)
- Panic episodes (a number, episodes)
- Treatment: medication or therapy names, dose and timing, start and stop dates, changes over time, and whether each dose was taken, late or missed. Prescribed and self-reported treatments are kept apart.

How patterns may be explored
After about two weeks of ratings, HealthTracker compares your wellbeing on days a factor was recorded with days it was not, and looks at ratings before and after treatment changes. Every comparison shows how many days it rests on. It describes your own records only and cannot show that one thing caused another.
