Is It Right To Label Anxiety A Disability?

Anxiety has become one of the defining conditions of modern life. It dominates social media trends, fills therapy offices, and fuels countless cultural discussions. For many, it feels like the emotional signature of the 2020s. With that visibility has come a shift in how society understands it: anxiety is no longer brushed off as simple nerves but is now, in certain cases, recognized as a disability. The distinction between being “just stressed” and being “seriously limited” is harder than ever to ignore.

But this shift raises a challenging question: should anxiety always carry the label of disability? For some, the designation is life-changing—it provides access to accommodations and validates the seriousness of their struggles. For others, there’s concern that broadening the definition too far blurs the line between everyday worry and conditions that truly disrupt a person’s ability to function.
