Generalized Anxiety Disorder is one of the most common anxiety disorders at the best addiction treatment center in Islamabad. It is characterized by constant and excessive anxiety, fear, and worries which preoccupy sufferers' minds most of the time over which they have no control. Thoughts and images of something very bad or even catastrophic is going to happen, exaggerated concerns about the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder common, everyday issues and problems (money, health, work, etc.), difficulties concentrating and sleeping accompanied by physical symptoms of anxiety disorders (like palpitations, sweating and trembling) are some of the things that victims of Generalized Anxiety Disorder are experiencing on daily bases.
In most
instances, their thinking is entirely irrational, and they always see things
much worse than they are. "Envision a situation where?" is the
request that Stray casualties constantly posture to themselves. "Imagine a
scenario where the house gets
ablaze while
everybody is sleeping. Consider the possibility that I miss a step and hurt
myself so severely that I can't work or walk at any point in the future. I have
a cerebral pain. Imagine a scenario in which it is a mind growth."
People affected by Generalized Anxiety Disorder also worry about their family, relatives, and friends. They imagine something terrible happening to their kids while walking to and from school or, for instance, their spouse, sister, or father having a car accident on the way from work.
Although GAD victims are usually aware that their thoughts do not make much sense, especially when there are not any, even the most distant, indications which would suggest that anything will happen, feelings of fear and anxiety refuse to leave their bodies and minds.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder affects about 5% of the population and is much more common in women than men. It develops gradually and, in most cases, starts between childhood and early to mid-'30s. When GAD is mild, sufferers can still manage to take care of everyday business and responsibilities. However, completing even the simplest tasks might be out of the question if the condition becomes severe.
Depression, alcohol/drug abuse, and other kinds of anxiety disorders are likely to develop as secondary conditions, especially if Generalized Anxiety Disorder remains untreated for a more extended period.
As with the
rest of anxiety disorders, the preferred treatment of Generalized Anxiety
Disorder is psychotherapy (Cognitive-Behavior Therapy) and medication. Some
relaxation therapies, meditation, and several alternative treatments and
programs also show very positive results.
