Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Part 1


It is common and natural to worry about something and especially during the stressful times, but some people will continue to worry about a particular matter day after day when in actual or reality there is nothing to be worried about. When this symptoms lasts for days and months, it will lead to anxiety disorder or GAD.

Primary symptom of the GAD is the sense of tension and stress that is consistently exaggerated. The individual may not be able to identify the reason why they felt so in such a way. And this worry can be so specific such as their pets, health, payment bills, house, water or even their life. This worrying can hugely effect their sleep and the ability to think clearly. The individual also may feel irritable because lack of sleep or perhaps the illness itself. 
Excessive worrying can lead to the following body problems such as – muscle pain or tension, one and off headaches, diarrhea, trembling and twitching and other related symptoms. 

The unique part of the worrying on their daily chores is that they cannot stop thinking or worrying about the matter on a day to day basis. Whether it could be their troubles, money and others they cannot find a peace of relaxing moment in their life. Although they might be doing something they enjoy, GAD will still interfere and cause them unnecessary worries. 

Individual can develop GAD at any age. The disorder can grow gradually and with very first symptoms that likely to come during the childhood and middle age for any individual.
