What Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

Generalized Anxiety Disorder, often referred to as GAD, is a condition characterized by persistent and excessive worry about a number of things. For example, a person who is suffering from GAD may be overly-worried about their relationship, money, or any other common issues that people deal with on a daily basis. Sometimes, the anxiety is so severe that a person will experience anxiety surrounding an issue that feels unbearable. The anxiety could lead to irrational decisions or emotions, physical consequences (headache or digestive issues), mood swings, avoidance, sleeping problems, and more. A person suffering from GAD may also experience panic attacks and could develop depression as a result of the consequences of other side effects of their anxiety disorder. 

In addition to generalized anxiety disorder, there are also a number of specific anxiety disorders, such as social phobia or panic disorder. At Life Insight, we offer anxiety treatment therapy for people suffering from all types of anxiety, as well as varying degrees of anxiety.
