You're conflating 'experiencing anxiety' with 'some underlying condition that increases the tendency to experience anxiety (and it's severity)'. The first cohort is a subgroup of the second.

Or just switch anxiety for depression - i.e. everyday depression and 'clinical' depression are not the same thing.

No, I can definitely tell the difference between the two, I was just trying to give an example of what I experienced in scouting in the US.
