If you believe that the symptoms of generalized anxiety are interfering with your personal or professional life, you should consult with a mental health professional to learn how to manage them effectively.

Anxiety as a normal response to potential danger or stress can be helpful, as you think of ways to solve a problem. When the body senses a threat, it naturally shuts down and feels more alert. Usually, we can control or "switch off" our everyday alertness or worries if the environment is safe.

Some people, however, struggle with excessive worry and anxiety that they feel unable to control even in a comparatively safe environment. Anxiety disorders like this are called generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). [2]

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a mental condition that results in excessive worry about commonplace issues, fear, and a persistent sense of overwhelm. An estimated 5.7% of U.S. adults experience generalized anxiety disorder at some time in their lives. [3]

People with GAD typically experience high levels of worry and anxiety for at least six months. A lot of the time, they worry about trivial things and unlikely events, they worry about what might happen in the future rather than what is happening now.

GAD is a complex combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors. People with a first-degree biological relative are at higher risk of developing it. About 30% of the risk of developing GAD, according to researchers, may be inherited genetically. [4]
Additionally, anxiety disorders can stem from environmental factors like traumatic events, stressful environments, chronic illness management, and child abuse. [5] What's more, panic attacks may occur during periods of significant stress or following a stressful event.

People who suffer from chronic anxiety often encounter a range of symptoms, including:

• Irrational worry about things like work, school, health, or other things
• Too much concern about their ability and confidence to handle things
• Fear and worry
• Muscle tension
• Feeling tense or restless
• Getting tired easily and headaches from stress
• Having trouble focusing
• Constant anger or irritability
• Breathing that is shallow and uneven
• An increase in blood pressure and heart rate
• Feeling nauseous or sick in minor stressful situations
• Restless, unsatisfactory sleep or trouble falling or staying asleep

The standard treatment for generalized anxiety disorder involves either medication, psychotherapy, or both.

• Trained mental health professionals use psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, to assist people with GAD in recognizing and altering feelings, ideas, and behaviors associated with anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often used to help GAD patients understand how their thoughts and excessive worrying affect their actions.
• Medication for GAD can include antidepressants like SSRIs and SNRIs, anti-anxiety medications like benzodiazepines and buspirone.
