What Is GAD and How Does It Affect Daily Life?

Understanding Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Unlike occasional stress or worry, Generalized Anxiety Disorder is marked by persistent and excessive anxiety across many areas of life. Often, this anxiety has no clear source and lingers for months or years, disrupting routines and creating emotional strain.

Common signs and symptoms of GAD include:

Excessive worry that feels uncontrollable and constant
Restlessness, irritability, or an inability to relax
Muscle tension, fatigue, and gastrointestinal discomfort
Difficulty concentrating or focusing
Trouble falling or staying asleep

Many individuals attempt to manage GAD symptoms with substances like alcohol or sedatives, which can lead to dependency. That’s why it’s crucial to address GAD within a dual diagnosis framework that treats both mental health and substance use together.

Medication Management

If needed, our medical professionals may prescribe and closely monitor SSRIs or SNRIs to manage chemical imbalances contributing to GAD.
