Anxiety
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is marked by ongoing, excessive worry that’s difficult to control and often disrupts daily life. This worry can affect both the mind and body, leading to restlessness, sleep issues, difficulty concentrating, physical tension, and fatigue.
COMMON SYMPTOMS:
While only a licensed mental health professional can make an official diagnosis, you may be experiencing an anxiety disorder if you regularly notice:
- Constant or uncontrollable worry about everyday situations
- Fear or nervousness that feels out of proportion to the situation
- Difficulty relaxing or feeling "on edge" most of the time
- Sleep problems or frequent physical symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, or a racing heart
If anxiety is making it hard to function at work, maintain relationships, or manage daily responsibilities, it may be time to consider professional support. With the right treatment, many individuals experience a noticeable improvement in their quality of life.
