We all worry about different things like school, finances, or relationships from time to time. However, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is different from normal anxious feelings. An individual with GAD may worry about a variety of things excessively and uncontrollably, even if there is no reason to worry.
Some common signs of GAD are:
Individuals with GAD can also experience physical symptoms like restlessness, fatigue, sweating, difficulty concentrating, nausea, digestive problems, irritability, muscle tension, or difficulty with sleep.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder in Children
Children with GAD worry excessively about a variety of things like school, grades, family, relationships with peers, or performance in sports. This can cause children to experience the above symptoms just as adults do, although children often present with increased physical symptoms when dealing with anxiety. Additionally, children with GAD tend to be very hard on themselves and strive for perfection, which can cause a need to seek reassurance or approval from others.
