Generalized Anxiety Disorder is characterized by excessive worry about a wide range of issues. For many, this can feel like their mind just never shuts off and is constantly worried about something. They often feel like they can never relax and are constantly on edge. They frequently describe feeling as if there is noise in their head and oftentimes this noise becomes loudest when they are alone or trying to sleep.
It doesn't have to be this way. Fear-based living is no way to live. Some people have a sense of where their anxiety originated from while others feel like it just comes out of nowhere. Regardless of its origin, anxiety is very treatable and one of the most common reasons adolescents and adults seek counseling.
