General Anxiety (GAD)

Unlike other anxiety disorders, GAD can arouse anxiety in almost any situation, without a specific trigger. In fact, many people suffering from this disorder are anxious all the time and the focus of their concerns shift frequently.

The following are often indicators of GAD, especially when more than one symptom occurs, for any period of time:

• Persistent anxiety with no identifiable cause
• Tendency to worry a great deal
• Irritability; edginess
• Muscle tension
• Heart palpitations
• Nausea; upset stomach
• Cold, clammy hands
