Research Notes on Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is characterized by six months or more of chronic, excessive worry and tension that is unfounded or much more severe than the normal anxiety most people experience. These worries and fears are so constant, they interfere with normal daily activities. Even when there is no cause for concern, people with GAD often expect the worst.1
Fast Facts:
- Physical symptoms include muscle tension, aches, or soreness, insomnia, stomach ailments, nausea, and diarrhea.1
- Women are twice as likely to develop GAD as men.2
- GAD, like other anxiety disorders, is treatable.2
