Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a mental health condition characterized by excessive and uncontrollable worry about various aspects of life, such as work, health, and relationships. People with GAD often find it difficult to relax, leading to physical symptoms like fatigue, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating. This constant state of worry can interfere with daily activities and overall quality of life.
Treatment for GAD typically includes therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and sometimes medication, like antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications. These approaches help individuals manage their anxiety and develop coping strategies, allowing them to lead more fulfilling lives despite their worries.
