If you want to keep your medical certificate you absolutely do not want a diagnosis of any mental disorder.
If you are diagnosed the first thing you will get is a prescription for medication, which you absolutely do not want either.
It is possible your anxiety is simply the result of the effort you are putting into your training.
The most obvious thing to try first is to find relaxing enjoyable recreation that you can fit into your routine.
I remember feeling anxious during my instrument training, I used to completely soak my shirt in sweat while flying under a hood. It took a long time for me to feel relaxed afterward.
