What Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)?

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a mental disorder characterized by excessive, unrealistic worry and tension, even if there is little or nothing to provoke the anxiety. This worry and tension may be accompanied by physical symptoms such as muscle tension, fatigue, headaches, and difficulty sleeping. People with GAD often find it hard to control their worry and may find it difficult to function in their daily lives as a result. GAD is diagnosed when a person has been excessively anxious and worried about a variety of events or activities for at least six months. It is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management, which may include therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes
