    Generalized Anxiety Disorder

    Summary: Generalized anxiety disorder is diagnosed if symptoms are present in the bulk days than not for more than six moths.

    Generalized anxiety disorder is one of the average anxiety disorders. Anxiety illnesses are the term covering various different forms of abnormal, pathological anxiety, fear, phobia and nervous condition, which may come on all of a sudden or gradually, over a period of various years and may impair or prevent the pursuing of common daily routines.

    The vital characteristic of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is excessive uncontrollable worry about every day things. This constant worry affects everyday functioning and can cause physical symptoms. GAD is usually hard to diagnose for it lacks some of the dramatic symptoms, like unprovoked panic attacks, that are seen with other anxiety disorders. To be able to diagnose Generalized Anxiety Disorder, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Symptoms must be present more days than not for at least 6 months.

    The diagnostic criteria for Generalized Anxiety Disorder symptoms are:

    ? Excessive anxiety and worry (apprehension), occurring more days than not for a period of at least 6 months, about numerous events or activities.
    ? The person with GAD finds it difficult to control the worry.
    ? The anxiety and worry are related with three or more of the following six symptoms, with at least some symptoms are present for more than 6 months in the bulk days than not (at least one is needed for children):
    o restlessness or feeling tense or on the edge
    o easily fatigued
    o difficulty concentrating or mind going blank
    o irritability
    o muscle tension and muscle aches
    o difficulty falling or staying asleep, or restless unsatisfying sleep
    o difficulty swallowing
    o trembling, sweating
    o nausea, light-headedness
    o feeling out of breath

    ? The focus of anxiety and worry is not limited to, or the anxiety or worry is not about having a panic attack, being embarrassed in the public, being contaminated, gaining weight, having multiple physical complaints, or having a grave illness, and the anxiety, and worry do not eventuate exclusively during post traumatic disorder.
    ? The anxiety, worry, or physical symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other necessary areas of every day activities.
    ? The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effect of substance, such as alcohol and drug abuse, or medical condition, and does not eventuate exclusively during a mood disorder, a psychotic disorder, or a pervasive developmental disorder.

    When the anxiety level of people with GAD is mild, they can still function socially and keep a job. Even if they don't avoid certain situations as a result of their disorder, they may have difficulty doing the simplest everyday activities if there anxiety is severe. The disorder comes on steadily and can commence at any age, but the risk is highest between childhood and middle age.

    Generalized Anxiety Disorder is commonly treated with medication or cognitive-behavioral therapy. Several drugs are used to treat anxiety illnesses and these include: benzodiazepines and antidepressants, and Quetiapine.
