It’s common to experience occasional anxiety, particularly if your life is stressful, but persistent, excessive worry that interferes with daily activities may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder.
Generalized anxiety disorder, which shares symptoms with panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other forms of anxiety, can manifest in both children and adults, but it’s important to note that these disorders are all distinct from one another.
Generalized anxiety disorder, which frequently co-occurs with other anxiety or mood disorders, can be difficult to live with over the long term. It typically gets better with medication or talk therapy (psychotherapy), but lifestyle changes, coping mechanisms, and relaxation techniques can also be helpful.
Causes–As with many mental health disorders, the precise cause of generalized anxiety disorder is unclear, but risk factors like genetics may also contribute to the condition.
The following are some examples of the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder:
