There are many reasons to be anxious in this stress-filled age: earthquakes, money problems, high pressure jobs, relationship difficulties. If you don’t have something to be stressed about, pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV and the media will be sure to warn you of another danger you never thought about.

However, there is another kind of anxiety, without a direct cause from modern day worries: generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a pattern of frequent, constant worry and anxiety over many different activities and events.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common condition that can start at any time in life. It can be caused by genes, learned behavior, or stressful life situations. Most people with the disorder cannot remember a time when they haven’t been anxious.

The main symptom of GAD is constant worry or tension. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, people with GAD:

• worry very much about everyday things for at least six months, even if there is little or no reason to worry about them
• can’t control their constant worries
• know that they worry much more than they should
• can’t relax
• have a hard time concentrating
• are easily startled
• have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep

Common body symptoms are:

• feeling tired for no reason
• headaches
• muscle tension and aches
• having a hard time swallowing
• trembling or twitching
• being irritable
• sweating
• nausea
• feeling lightheaded
• feeling out of breath
• having to go to the bathroom a lot
• hot flashes

If you think you may suffer from generalized anxiety syndrome, we can help. Access Christian Counseling offers Bible-based therapy for general anxiety disorder. Call 248-355-4300, today, to schedule an appointment.
