If you are suffering from GAD, general anxiety disorder, you probably want to know just what it is. If you are persistently, excessively and unrealistically worrying about things you probably have a case of this. Even those things that don’t truly affect you are causing you stress then you need to consider the possibility of GAD.

Money is a primary source of worry. Health comes in there too, am I sick? Work, oh my gosh, you worry about your job even when things are going well. Charities sometimes cause worry, do you give to this one or not? How much? You heard about someone you know that is sick so you spend time worrying about them. If this sounds like you then you may suffer from GAD.

You aren’t alone in this. There are 6.8 million adults in the United States (3.1%) suffering from this on any given year. Gradual progression is typical and usually comes on from childhood to middle age. Although the exact cause is not known there is evidence showing the biological factors, life experiences, particularly stressful situations, and family background are all part of what is believed to be factors.

General Anxiety Disorder is treatable. You may need to see a physician for medication but there are other avenues to follow too. Try meditation, yoga, exercise; work on relaxation techniques that will help you level out your stress level. Get your mind around them and they will help a great deal.

Often times you know that going to a certain place, being with certain people or watching a program that will cause you stress. The answer to this is to avoid them. Find something you want to do more that will make you laugh. Yes, laugh. Laugh long and loud. It will relieve the stress and feel so much better. Healthy thing to do laugh.

Are you tired? Then go to bed. How simple is that? Maybe the rest of your family or friends don’t need as much rest on a given day as you do, but if you are tired and you know that when your head hits the pillow you will be asleep, then go to bed. That’s not difficult, it’s common sense. You will wake up the next day more refreshed and ready to take on the day without worrying nearly as much.

There are signs that show general anxiety disorder symptoms that you can pay attention to and act on. Here is a list of some of them, the most common. 1. Excessive worry, occurring more days than not for at least 6 months. 2. Unreasonable worry about nearly everything. 3. Your inability to control worry 4. Restlessness, feeling keyed up or on edge often. 5. Being easily tired for no apparent reason. 6. Having problems concentrating. 7. Irritability? 8. Muscle tension. 9. Is your anxiety interfering with your daily life?

Are you strange? Is it something you can do something about? Of course you aren’t strange, you are one of millions. Can you do something about it, of course, but you must take action. Start today and feel more in control tomorrow.
