Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Personalized Care for Chronic Anxiety in Manhattan Beach
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by persistent and excessive worry that feels difficult to control, often about everyday situations, responsibilities or future uncertainties. While occasional anxiety is part of life, GAD involves anxiety that is out of proportion to circumstances and interferes with daily functioning, relationships, sleep and overall well-being.
People with GAD are often described as constant “worriers” or feeling perpetually on edge. Symptoms may include restlessness, irritability, muscle tension, difficulty concentrating, fatigue and sleep disturbances. The condition often follows a chronic course, with periods of improvement and worsening, particularly during times of stress. GAD may also occur alongside other conditions such as depression or additional anxiety disorders.
