Anxiety disorder is one of the most widespread and also one of the most curable mental health conditions.
Now, anxiety, by itself, isn't really a bad thing.
As humans, it's natural for us to feel anxious of fearful sometimes.
Anxiety helps the body to deal with distressing, harmful, new, or unusual situations.
There is however, a wide gulf between experiencing normal, regular anxiety and suffering from anxiety disorder.
People who suffer from anxiety disorder can sense intense tension even when there's no impending danger; they will then undertake sometimes, very far reaching measures to avert this imaginary danger.
It is obvious that this disorder can be deeply unsettling on a person's career, family, and social life.
Usually, it is extremely difficult to exactly situate the source or causative factor triggering this anxiety attacks; often these primary causes are not identified and as a result left largely untreated.
Generalized Anxiety is one of the forms of an anxiety disorder.
A sufferer usually has a morbid and consistent fear that things-events and situations-would turn out as badly as they possibly can.
This is a chronic tendency and can quickly become a self-fulfilling prophecy if not dealt with promptly and adequately.
Generalized anxiety can last for upwards of six months.
Many otherwise normal concerns can trigger this kind of intense worrying: money, children, jobs, health, and even household chores.
But very often with sufferers of this disorder, the worrying quickly gets out of proportion; they know this but feel helpless about it.
Insomnia, muscular tension, irritability, frequent urination, breathlessness, unexplained fatigue, and difficulty in concentration are all symptomatic of generalized anxiety.
Every sufferer should endeavor to learn all they can about this condition and seek expert advice and help as soon as possible.
