To fully understand Generalized Anxiety Disorder, consider this example:

During a party a person overhears someone say that the job market in their town has gone down. The average person would hear this and possibly experience some mild concern. Someone suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder, on the other hand, might not sleep the entire night for fear they will lose their job.

Psychological Symptoms of Anxiety

• Trouble sleeping
  
• Sweating
  
• Fatigue
  
• Muscle Tension
  
• Nausea
  
• Shortness of breath
  
• Rapid heartbeat

These signs regularly develop more slowly than symptoms of other disorders; virtually “sneaking up” on a person until they suddenly can’t recall the last time they felt relaxed or at ease. This condition, which can develop in childhood or adulthood, usually requires ongoing treatment. An individual who suffers from this disorder will always be susceptible to becoming anxious, especially when life becomes stressful.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder Treatments

Psychotherapists will frequently assist their patients with cognitive behavior therapy, which teaches a person to focus on specific skills that identify negative thoughts and behaviors, then replaces them with positive ones. They can also help the individual learn lifestyle changes, coping skills, and relaxation techniques that can help reduce stress and give the patient more control over their life.
