Understanding Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by persistent and excessive worry about everyday situations. Unlike normal anxiety, which may arise in response to a specific stressor, GAD causes ongoing concern that is difficult to control, even when there is no apparent cause. This can interfere with daily responsibilities, relationships, and overall well-being.
Signs and symptoms of GAD may include:
Persistent worry or fear about work, finances, health, or relationships
Restlessness, irritability, or difficulty concentrating
Muscle tension, fatigue, and sleep disturbances
Difficulty managing uncertainty or making decisions
Feeling overwhelmed by small or routine tasks
Key contributing factors include:
Family history of anxiety or other mood disorders
Trauma or chronic stress, especially during childhood
Personality traits, such as perfectionism or low frustration tolerance
Chemical imbalances in the brain related to serotonin or dopamine
Co-occurring disorders, including depression and substance use
Without proper care, GAD can evolve into other serious mental health concerns. Early intervention with the right therapeutic tools can help clients gain emotional resilience and freedom from constant worry.
