Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a mental health condition characterized by excessive and uncontrollable worry about everyday activities and events. People with GAD often experience constant anxiety, even when there is no clear reason for concern. Symptoms include restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. This condition can significantly impair daily functioning and quality of life.

Rehabilitation centers offer specialized programs for individuals with GAD, providing a safe and supportive environment for recovery. These centers typically integrate therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps patients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, and relaxation techniques like mindfulness and deep breathing exercises to reduce anxiety. Medication may also be prescribed by a healthcare provider to manage symptoms. Group therapy and individual counseling are often included, allowing patients to gain support from peers and professionals. With proper treatment, individuals with GAD can learn to manage their anxiety and lead more balanced lives.
