Constant state of worry, fear, and dread lead to General Anxiety Disorder. Proper anxiety treatment can help you foster coping skills and recover quicker.
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is marked by extreme, excessive anxiety and worry about everyday life events for no apparent reason. People with GAD constantly expect disaster and can't stop worrying about health, money, family, etc. Undue stress can make them avoid work, family get-togethers, and other social situations that might trigger or worsen their symptoms. General anxiety disorder treatment with your therapist allows you to explore your thoughts, speak about the issue, and foster better anxiety coping skills.
GAD Therapy for Men
Men who experience general anxiety may have frequent outbursts of anger, along with addiction to alcohol & drugs. Right anxiety therapy can help lift the emotional weight and make it easier to discuss the issue.
GAD Therapy for Women
Women tend to deal with their general anxiety through agoraphobic avoidance, leading to increased panic attacks. Anxiety therapy can help identify these negative thoughts and develop a positive outlook toward life.
GAD Therapy for Children & Adolescents
Children with GAD often worry about future events, social acceptance, and abilities. Therapy for anxiety can help encourage them to talk about the issue and develop a better perspective on life.
Feeling better starts with an honest conversation. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it's time to connect with your general anxiety therapist.

The precise causes of generalized anxiety disorder are unknown. It seems to be affected by various factors, such as heredity, brain chemistry, and environmental pressures.
Genetics - According to some studies, a person's family history may increase the likelihood of developing GAD. This implies that there may be a genetic component to the development of GAD. However, no gene for anxiety has been found, and families may potentially pass on the propensity through the environment or way of life.
Mind Chemistry - It isn't very easy. Problems with anxiety or mood may stem from dysfunctional neural connections connecting certain brain regions. GAD has been associated with specific nerve cell connections between certain brain regions involved in thinking and emotion. These connections between nerve cells rely on substances known as neurotransmitters, which convey information from one nerve cell to the next. The signaling between circuits may be enhanced by drugs, psychotherapies, or other treatments that affect these neurotransmitters, reducing feelings of anxiety or depression.
Environmental Elements - GAD may be exacerbated by traumatic and stressful life events, including abuse, divorce, losing a loved one, or changing professions or educational institutions. When tension feels out of control, the illness may also deteriorate. Anxiety can also get worse with the use of and withdrawal from addictive substances (such as alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine).
