Also: no blood test can diagnose Parkinson's Disease. It remains, for all intents and purposes, a clinical diagnosis.

Symptoms
Parkinson's disease signs and symptoms can be different for everyone. Early signs may be mild and go unnoticed. Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side, even after symptoms begin to affect both sides.
Parkinson's signs and symptoms may include:
Tremor. A tremor, or shaking, usually begins in a limb, often your hand or fingers. You may a rub your thumb and forefinger back-and-forth, known as a pill-rolling tremor. Your hand may tremor when it's at rest.Slowed movement (bradykinesia). Over time, Parkinson's disease may slow your movement, making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming. Your steps may become shorter when you walk. It may be difficult to get out of a chair. You may drag your feet as you try to walk.Rigid muscles. Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body. The stiff muscles can be painful and limit your range of motion.Impaired posture and balance. Your posture may become stooped, or you may have balance problems as a result of Parkinson's disease.Loss of automatic movements. You may have a decreased ability to perform unconscious movements, including blinking, smiling or swinging your arms when you walk.Speech changes. You may speak softly, quickly, slur or hesitate before talking. Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections.Writing changes. It may become hard to write, and your writing may appear small.When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease — not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms.

I’ve had twitches and numbness due to anxiety. If it is anxiety, then worrying will exacerbate the symptoms. I don’t know anything about Parkinson’s, but I’m sure developing it in your teens is very rare. Have you received any treatment for anxiety?

No, they recommended therapy ages ago but I didn’t end up doing it and it hasn’t been that bad over the past year and the doctors don’t really help and just tell me not to worry

As your GP said, it'a probably anxiety. Parkinson's so young is extremely rare. If you have doubts, go back to them.

Ask about therapy from them, it can help.

Do you look after yourself in general? Meditation and exercise can help with anxiety. Try not to worry. I don’t stress about the numbness now because I know it’s anxiety and will go away.

It happens when I’m not feeling anxious or stressed though, it never happens if I’m having a panic attack or anything

My problems aren’t bad enough for therapy and I’ve been coping with anxiety a lot better recently so I don’t think it’s worth it tbh
Thanks
