GAD

Generalized Anxiety Disorder, GAD, is an anxiety disorder characterized by chronic anxiety, exaggerated worry and tension, even when there is little or nothing to provoke it. People with generalized anxiety disorder can’t seem to shake their concerns; they may be very anxious about just getting through the day. They think things will always go badly. At times, worrying keeps people with GAD from doing everyday tasks.

People with GAD:

  • worry very much about everyday things for at least six months, even if there is little or no reason to worry about them;
  • can’t control their constant worries;
  • know that they worry much more than they should;
  • can’t relax;
  • have a hard time concentrating;
  • are easily startled;
  • have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.

Their worries are accompanied by physical symptoms, especially:

  • fatigue;
  • headaches;
  • muscle tension and aches;
  • having a hard time swallowing;
  • trembling or twitching;
  • being irritable;
  • sweating;
  • nausea;
  • feeling out of breath;
  • hot flashes.
