My report focuses on generalized anxiety. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by
chronic and persistent worry. This worry, which is multifocal (e.g., about finances,
family, health, and the future), excessive, and difficult to control, is typically accompanied by
other nonspecific psychological and physical symptoms. (Stein, M. B., & Sareen, J. (2015)).
Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be mild or severe. Everyone feels
anxious at some point in their life. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a mental health
condition characterized by excessive, unrealistic worry and tension about everyday events and
activities. People with GAD find it difficult to control their worry and often experience
symptoms such as muscle tension, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. GAD is
typically treated with a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. Individuals
can find ways to help with coping strategies such as going to cognitive-behavioral therapy for
GAD, this can help change negative patterns and be put on the right medications. Other ways
that may work are listening to positive YouTube videos, doing yoga, practicing wellness, and
healing your inner wounds. (Fricchione, G. (2004).
