Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent and excessive worry about everyday events and activities. People with GAD often find it difficult to control their anxiety, which can interfere with daily life, relationships, and work. Symptoms include restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. The anxiety is ongoing and not tied to any specific situation, making it feel pervasive. GAD is treatable through therapy, medication, or a combination of both, helping individuals develop coping strategies to manage their worry and improve quality of life.
