15 years ago 0 1693 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Anxiety disorders are very prevalent in our society, about 23% of the population will experience some form of increased anxiety and worry that impairs their normal functioning at some point in their lifespan. Throughout the course of the next few weeks will we take a look at various forms of anxiety; causes, characteristics and treatment. As usual please feel free to ask any questions, share your experiences or comment.

Generalized anxiety disorder is typically associated with excessive and chronic worrying that lasts for a period of at least six months. The anxiety is ‘free-floating’ and can not be attributed to on any single source. Those who experience generalized anxiety disorder are likely to worry about very minor things and life in general.

Commons symptoms are:

- High pulse and respiration rates

- Chronic diarrhea

- A need to urinate frequently

- Chronic digestive problems

- Trouble sleeping

- Easily irritated

- Spend a lot of time worrying about the future
