Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a mental health condition characterized by excessive and hard-to-control worry about various everyday situations, which persists in a way that is out of proportion to its cause.
Frequent symptoms: constant restlessness or tension, difficulty concentrating, irritability, sleep problems, and physical manifestations such as fatigue or muscle tension.
When to seek care? When worry interferes with work, studies, relationships, or daily well-being over a prolonged period, it is worth seeking professional support.
Who treats it? The psychologist and the psychiatrist are the professionals suited to evaluate GAD, and in children the child psychiatrist may get involved. Talking with one of them allows you to understand what is happening and receive guidance appropriate to each person.
