Generalised Anxiety

Generalised anxiety can be regarded as extreme worry and anxiety; it is severe tension that interferes with our daily life. It si much more than the normal anxiety thst people experience day-to-day basis, generalised anxiety means anticipating tragedy and often worrying extremely about family, money and health. Other minor issues such as chores or appointments can also cause chronic anxiety and for some, just getting through the day can cause worry.
Trouble sleeping is common with this disorder and other physical symptoms such as fatigue, muscle aches, irritability, headaches and sweating are frequent. This can lead to problems concentrating and working effectively, therefore causing the sufferer further distress.
Generalised anxiety is usually diagnosed when the individual spends at least six months worrying excessively about normal everyday problems. The disorder rarely exists alone, usually being accompanied by depression, alcohol or drug abuse or another anxiety disorder. Generalised anxiety can be treated, but the accompanying conditions must also be dealt with too.
