Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)...

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) typically involves a persistent feeling of anxiety or dread, which can interfere with daily life. It is not the same as occasionally worrying about things or experiencing anxiety due to stressful life events. People living with generalized anxiety disorder experience frequent anxiety for months, if not years.

Symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder can include feeling restless, being easily fatigued, having difficulty concentrating, irritability, physical symptoms (e.g., stomachaches, headaches, muscle aches and unexplained pains), difficulty controlling feelings of worry, and disturbed sleep.

If these symptoms sound like what you may be experiencing, psychotherapy can help. Cognitive behavioral psychotherapy has been proven to be an effective treatment of generalized anxiety disorder. Contact me to learn more about how I may be able to help.
