Overview

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by excessive and uncontrollable worrying about one or more things. This particular type of anxiety disorder is the most common, affecting 6.8 million adults in the United States alone.

It is important to understand generalized anxiety disorder because it can have a negative impact on your personal, professional, and social life. It can also lead to serious secondary disorders like depression and substance abuse. When experiencing generalized anxiety disorder, people often report feeling that specific events or situations in their lives are causing undue stress, even when there is no real reason for concern.

Symptoms

Symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder vary from person to person depending on the individual. However, there are several common symptoms people often experience. As generalized anxiety disorder progresses, physical symptoms begin to appear alongside mental ones.

Some of the most common symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder include the following:

  • Excessive worry about small or large events or situations, sometimes to the point that it disrupts daily activities
  • Apprehension about future events or feelings of “doom” about certain outcomes
  • Irritability, tiredness, muscle tension, and restlessness due to the way generalized anxiety takes up mental and physical energy
  • The constant need to use distraction techniques like drugs, alcohol, or compulsive behaviors (such as overeating) in an effort to manage generalized anxiety symptoms
  • Inability to be still; you feel like your mind is jumping from thought to thought
  • Shortness of breath
  • Increased heart rate
  • Exessive sweating
  • Headaches and fatigue
  • Upset stomach


In addition, generalized anxiety disorder can lead to sadness, loneliness, frustration, problems with concentration and memory, muscle tension, trembling, twitching muscles, and sleep disturbances.

Causes

The cause of generalized anxiety disorder is unknown. However, stress factors such as genetics may be involved.
Some individuals may experience generalized anxiety disorder after exposure to traumatic events like war or a natural disaster. This type of anxiety disorder can also be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain or by environmental factors, such as family history and difficult life circumstances.

A mental health professional will be able to help you identify the root cause of the problem. This step is critical, as it will help you develop an understanding of what’s causing your symptoms so you can move forward.

Treatment

Generalized anxiety disorder treatment starts with the right diagnosis. Unfortunately, many people with generalized anxiety disorder are misdiagnosed or dismissed as having panic attacks or another unrelated condition like depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Unlike other forms of anxiety that focus on specific causes and symptoms, generalized anxiety disorder is a much more complicated type of anxiety to treat. Generalized anxiety disorder treatment can include therapy, medication, supplements, lifestyle changes, and at-home techniques. Generalized anxiety disorder treatment is effective only when you are ready to commit to making positive changes in your life.

Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy for generalized anxiety disorder involves working with a mental health professional to develop coping strategies for dealing with daily life. Generalized anxiety disorder treatment can also include incorporating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) into the treatment plan. When using CBT, you will work with your therapist or counselor to determine what triggers your generalized anxiety disorder symptoms and help you develop ways of overcoming these triggers in your daily life. Generalized anxiety disorder treatment can also include exposure therapy, which encourages you to practice confronting the specific situations that cause your generalized anxiety disorder symptoms in order to get used to these triggers and reduce their impact on your life.

If you are unable to deal with your generalized anxiety disorder symptoms without medication, this type of treatment may be helpful.

Medication can help some individuals manage symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. However, it’s important to work closely with your mental health professional and doctor to monitor progress.

Your doctor may also prescribe antidepressants if your condition is accompanied by depression or suicidal thoughts.

Generalized anxiety disorder treatment can include a variety of holistic therapy modalities. These activities can help reduce stress, improve your sense of well-being, and encourage relaxation.

A few examples of holistic therapy modalities include the following:

  • Yoga therapy
  • Acupuncture therapy
  • Animal-assisted therapy
  • Equine therapy
  • Mindfulness-based therapy
  • Meditation therapy
  • Somatic experiencing therapy
  • EMDR therapy
  • Massage therapy

Without treatment, generalized anxiety disorder can lead to additional mental health concerns, work or school problems, and strained relationships.

Generalized anxiety disorder treatment options are available. And with the right diagnosis and help, you can control your symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder.

Stories of Success and Recovery

    Anna H.

    A small community in Malibu, this is a group of individuals dedicated to making a difference in patient lives. Each touch point from admissions to specialists, the clinicians, the kitchen, to the clinical assistants you are handled with love and support. Managing two decades of treatment resistant depression and working through burnout from an intense performance based career, I needed a place to get grounded as well as inundate myself with professionals who could help.

      Marlon R.

      Absolutely stunning properties in a prime yet private location. The treatment environment matters and I was highly impressed. The care environment was clean and organized. The staff were friendly and dressed professionally. The chefs were cordial and accommodating. There was easy access to many tranquil activities as well as fitness activities. The frequency of the individual therapy session was top notch up to 4 times a week plus weekly virtual visits with psychiatry and psychological testing. This type of clinical focus is rare. This is a great example of premium treatment.

        Goli S.

        I helped facilitate care for a dear friend at Amend. I was skeptical about any mental health program, but was blown away by the level of care at the facility. The whole team went above and beyond to ensure comfort and the best level of care in a way that is indescribable. I really do not have anything negative to say. Every aspect of the program and facility is 100/10. I would highly recommend Amend to anyone struggling with mental health.
