Living with anxiety is more than feeling nervous or overthinking situations. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a complex mental health condition that can affect a person’s self-worth, confidence, and happiness.

Many people struggling with anxiety feel a sense of embarrassment and shame, and attempt to hide their anxiety out of fear of being judged. It’s important to know that GAD is a common and treatable illness, and that help is available. With the combination of psychotherapy and medication management quality of life can be improved.
