    THE PERVASIVENESS OF GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder)

    Due to its pervasiveness that impacts on millions of Americans daily, it is good to know more about it. It is best described as ongoing anxiety that is chronic, excessive and impacts on many facets in the life of the person. It can be excessive worry about the weather, personal health or that of others, job security, relationships, driving, communication, possible problems ten years from now or literally anything a human being can think about. The condition can be totally debilitating and can lead to physical problems, substance abuse and depression to name a few. Some combination of medication  and counseling is generally seen as the best way to treat GAD. I have read that up to 90% of visits to primary care physicians relate to anxiety.
