Anxiety Disorders come in varying designations.  A Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a chronic disorder characterized by excessive, long-lasting anxiety and worry about nonspecific life events, objects, and situations. People who experience a General Anxiety Disorder often feel afraid. They worry regularly about their health, money, family, work, or school.Those individuals who suffer from Anxiety Disorders often have difficulty identifying the precise fear and controlling worry that causes their Anxiety. The fears they experience, are usually unrealistic or blown out of proportion with their circumstances.
