WHAT IS GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER (GAD)?

Worry is a normal part of life. Excessive and unnecessary worry or anxiety is a hallmark of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), causing physical and emotional difficulties, e.g., insomnia, restlessness or irritability, which interfere with your daily functioning.

If you have GAD, you probably have not developed adequate stress-management skills. Usually people with GAD respond very well to learning anxiety-management techniques.
