Generalized Anxiety Disorder
What is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?
A disorder that typically occurs with other mood or anxiety afflictions, Generalized Anxiety Disorder subjects an individual to ongoing anxiety that is excessive and unrelenting. A little worry and concern throughout the day or week is normal for most people. With Generalized Anxiety Disorder, however, “normal” anxiety crosses the line to the point that your concern:
- Focuses on the worst-case scenario in most situations
- Occurs almost every day for six months or more
- Is uncontrollable, or
- Significantly disrupts your social life, work, or extra-curricular activities
