Anxiety happens to everyone. It’s a normal response to life stress. If you experience constant worry and fear that prevents you from functioning in daily life, however, you may have a condition called generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
A common mood disorder, GAD, involves persistent feelings of nervousness and fear that are disproportionate to the cause or arise without an apparent reason. Unlike a specific phobia that focuses on a particular thing or situation, GAD causes a general feeling of dread and unease that colors your whole life.
When you suffer from GAD, you may find it impossible to enjoy a normal life and have difficulty relaxing. Some of the most common symptoms of GAD include:
If you suffer from anxiety, you may realize that your nervous feelings aren’t realistic but feel incapable of stopping the endless cycle of anxious thoughts that run through your head every day.
The goal of treatment for GAD is to reduce feelings of worry and fear while developing healthy coping strategies that allow you to respond to stressors realistically. When addressing anxiety, the team creates customized treatment plans to meet the needs of each patient.
Medication helps many patients who suffer from anxiety, but not everyone with GAD requires medication to regain control over anxious emotions. Counseling can help you process underlying experiences that contribute to anxiety while helping you learn to calm your mind. Your experienced provider may suggest a combined approach to treatment to give you the best resources for overcoming anxiety.
Anxiety frequently occurs along with other mood mental health conditions, such as depression or ADHD. The team in Venice, California, can address any co-occurring issues so you can fully recover and lead a full, rewarding life.
