Online Therapy for Anxiety
Understanding Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder, also known as “GAD”, is a mental health condition that affects both children and adults who experience exaggerated, frequent, and unrealistic worry about everyday things. The worry they experience feels way bigger than the situation really is and often occurs with other anxiety issues or depression.
What causes GAD?
The exact cause of GAD is unknown, but some possible triggers include:
- Family history of anxiety
- Stressful or traumatic experiences
- Drug induced: long-term use of benzos or heavy alcohol use
What are the symptoms of GAD?
Here are some common signs:
- Constant worry or nervousness
- Getting startled easily
- Trouble sleeping
- Struggling to focus
- Feeling restless
- Sweating or nausea
- Heart palpitations
- Feeling irritable
- Frequent headaches
If these symptoms are new, severe, or ongoing, reach out to your provider for anxiety disorder treatment online.
Is GAD the same as anxiety?
GAD can lead to or worsen various mental and physical health issues such as depression, issues sleeping, substance abuse disorder, social isolation, and an overall decline in one’s quality of life. Fortunately, there are services such as online help for anxiety that provide accessible resources and support, making it easier to address these issues and improve overall well-being. GAD and normal anxiety differ in some ways:
Normal anxiety:
- Linked to a specific stressful situation or life event
- Anxiety symptoms typically go away once the stressor has ended
- Anxiety symptoms occur only during times of stress or change
GAD:
- Doesn't need a specific trigger.
- May cause symptoms about a situation that people wouldn’t normally find stressful.
- Individuals with GAD have a long and consistent history of anxiety and worry about various things.
