Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a mental and behavioral disorder characterized by excessive, uncontrollable worry about everyday matters such as health, finances, and relationships, often interfering with daily functioning and causing symptoms like restlessness, trouble sleeping, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Individuals with GAD may also experience physical symptoms such as sweating and trembling.
