Generalized Anxiety Checklist
Generalized Anxiety Checklist
If we look at generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) on a scale of severity, we first have to break it down into sub categories. Generalized anxiety disorder can be affected by obsessive-compulsive disorder, attachment disorder, depression, or even substance abuse.
As anxiety worsens in duration and abundance, moving towards having generalized anxiety disorder, an individual can experience numerous symptoms. This person may be the constant worrier, about both everyday life and unrealistic things.
This person may be fearful that if their spouse leaves the house, he may be killed in a car accident. She may then call him 10 times before he gets to work in order to decrease her anxiety.
This person may experience racing thoughts, feelings of nervousness, sweaty palms, racing heart, inability to speak, feelings of suffocation, trembling, or constant physical aches and ailments.
They may have unrealistic expectations or fears (i.e. perfectionism) for themselves or others. The idea is that the level of anxiety is more profound and lasts longer than what one may feel without GAD.
A person who experiences generalized anxiety disorder may be "driven" to drink in order to cope with their anxiety. The theory is it is easier to feel good than to feel anxious.
The same goes for a person who smokes or drinks caffeine in large amounts. These substances can also become habits that a person uses as a coping skill for their anxiety.
For example, an individual who feels anxious at work because they fear they will never be good enough may drink 3 large cups of coffee to get that jittery feeling everyday. This replaces the anxiety they may feel.
Having generalized anxiety disorder may impair an individual's ability to function in everyday life, but there are plenty of treatment options out there that allow a person to participate in society.
