The Impact of Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) may be brought on, or worsened by, stressful life events. People with GAD are often overly concerned about everyday issues, such as health, money, family, or work issues. Has just thinking about getting through the day ever produced excessive anxiety in you? Does this constant anxiety limit any of your daily activities?

Where Does Anxiety Strike?

Anxiety can strike anywhere: at home, at work, or out with your friends.

Over the last six months have you often made any of these statements?

  • "I feel anxious all the time."
  • "I seem to worry constantly."
  • "I am easily fatigued."
  • "I often feel like I can't relax."
  • "My muscles are tense."

The Journey to Improvement

If you think you have GAD, the first person you should see is your family doctor. He or she can tell you whether you have GAD and work with you to plan a course of action with which you feel comfortable.

If you are diagnosed with GAD, the next step is usually seeing a mental health professional. This doctor will likely have training in providing specialized therapy and the use of appropriate anxiety medications, such as Cymbalta.
