Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose feelings of insecurity, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "feelings of insecurity" as a symptom. For example, anxiety.

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

very angry/hostile disposition

being anxious/nervous

frequent bizarre dreams

jumpiness

regular nightmares

poor ability to relax

chest tightness

often/always feeling unusually cold

regular night terrors

discontinued antianxiety drug use

difficulty falling asleep

minor nail biting

... and so on

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of feelings of insecurity.

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

In the Emotional Symptoms section of the questionnaire, The Analyst™ will ask the following question about feelings of insecurity:

Approximately how often do you have feelings of insecurity? Examples include worrying about what people think of you, wondering if you are working hard enough, wondering if you are doing something wrong.

Possible responses:

→ Never / don't know
→ Rarely - under once per month, nothing serious
→ Occasionally - a few times a month
→ Regularly, in certain situations
→ I am (almost) always insecure or self-conscious

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate slight feelings of insecurity, feelings of insecurity or frequent feelings of insecurity, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as Anxiety.
