Generalized Anxiety Disorder
What is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?
Generalized Anxiety Disorder is characterized by feelings of intense and excessive worry about everyday life experiences, such as getting in trouble at work or being fired, a friend being upset or angry, or making a mistake. People who suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder often feel overwhelmed, indecisive, fear the consequences of routine decisions and actions, and spend much time and effort ruminating and working to avoid situations that they associate with bringing on feelings of anxiety.
Treatment For Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Like other anxiety disorders, Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a treatable condition that enjoys high rates of success when effective, evidence-based treatment methods are employed with care and support. Treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder includes elements of both cognitive and behavioral therapy to help you understand the cycle of worry and rumination, psychoeducation regarding how rumination, avoidance, and safety behaviors paradoxically increase anxiety, and support to aid you in moving forward in your life without the presence of fear and worry as your constant and unwanted companions.
