Generalized Anxiety Disorder
What is Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD, is characterized by persistent, excessive, and unrealistic worry about everyday things. This worry occurs on more days than not for at least six months. People with GAD feel that worrying is beyond their control and they are powerless to stop it. When there is no reason for concern, people with GAD often expect the worst. Unrelenting worry is often about health, family, money, or work, and it can interfere with all aspects of a person's life.
Symptoms of GAD:
muscle tension
fatigue
restlessness
difficulty sleeping
irritability
edginess
gastrointestinal discomfort or diarrhea
