Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is in the category of anxiety disorders in which a person has a worry that for the average person would not have the uncontrollable and intensity of pain that the person has with GAD. This is a condition that is a continuous worry and becomes so extremely painful that it interferes with normal activities such as working or sleeping.

There are many symptoms of GAD that include restlessness, hyperactivity, tension, worrying fear, worry about losing a job, worry about finances, and worry about health. Some are trivial such as keeping appointments, keeping the house excessively clean, and worry about organizing office activities.

Any person with the above symptoms should get a diagnosis from a specialist in neurological diseases. After an appropriate diagnosis has been made with confirmation of the condition as GAD, treatment should begin. The usual treatment begins with drugs which may offer relief of the symptoms, but not always. The most effective treatment is a combination of cognitive behavior and drugs.

Regardless of the treatment, a healthy lifestyle of proper nutrition and physical therapy will not only benefit GAD, but almost any health problem.
