If your mind runs constant worst-case scenarios and you can't seem to relax, you're not overreacting, and you're not alone. Generalized anxiety disorder is treatable, and calm can feel reachable again.
Generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD, is persistent, excessive worry that's difficult to control and shows up most days for months. It often comes with physical signs, restlessness, tension, poor sleep, and a mind that won't quiet down.
GAD responds well to treatment. Therapy, especially CBT, teaches you to interrupt worry cycles, and medication can turn down the physical intensity. When anxiety overlaps with depression, advanced options like TMS may also help.
If several of these are familiar most days, an evaluation can help.
Your psychiatrist will tailor treatment to how anxiety shows up for you.
