Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Everyone worries from time to time about money, the future, work, family, etc. If you or others who know you well would call you a worry-wort because you’re always worrying about something and you have a tough time tuning out those worries, then you might have something called generalized anxiety disorder or GAD. In addition to worrying more often than not and having a tough time not worrying, people with GAD will also commonly report experiencing the following physical symptoms:

  • feeling on-edge or restless
  • tiring easily
  • difficulty concentrating
  • irritability
  • muscle tension
  • difficulty falling or staying asleep
