 Persistent worrying or anxiety about a number of areas that are out of proportion to the         impact of the events

 Overthinking plans and solutions to all possible worst-case outcomes 

 Perceiving situations and events as threatening, even when they aren't 

 Difficulty handling uncertainty 

 Indecisiveness and fear of making the wrong decision 

 Inability to set aside or let go of a worry 

 Inability to relax, feeling restless, and feeling keyed up or on edge 

 Difficulty concentrating, or the feeling that their mind "goes blank"

Treatment

A number of types of treatment can help with GAD.

Supportive and interpersonal therapy can help.

Mindfulness based approaches and Acceptance Commitment Therapy have also been investigated with positive outcome. All therapies (sometimes in different ways) help clients to change their relationship to their symptoms. They help clients to understand the nature of anxiety itself, to be less afraid of the presence of anxiety, and to make choices independent of the presence of anxiety.

Relaxation techniques, meditation, yoga, exercise, and other alternative treatments may also become part of a treatment plan. Other anxiety disorders, depression, or substance abuse often accompany GAD, which rarely occurs alone; co-occurring conditions must also be treated with appropriate therapies.
