What Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

Understanding the Ongoing Effects of Excessive Worry

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a chronic mental health condition marked by persistent, excessive worry about everyday matters—such as work, health, relationships, or finances. Unlike situational anxiety, which has a clear cause, GAD creates a continuous sense of unease that may not be linked to a specific event or circumstance.

Common symptoms of GAD may include:

Difficulty controlling worry
Restlessness, tension, or irritability
Trouble concentrating or staying focused
Fatigue, headaches, or digestive issues
Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns

Without professional treatment, GAD can gradually take over your life—making even small tasks feel overwhelming. But with structured care and support, you can learn to manage symptoms and rediscover a sense of peace, clarity, and confidence.

Why Treating GAD Is Essential

Restore Balance, Strengthen Coping Skills, and Reclaim Your Life

When left untreated, GAD can contribute to other mental health issues like depression, substance use, and burnout. It can strain relationships, impair work performance, and negatively impact your overall quality of life. The good news: Generalized Anxiety Disorder is highly treatable.

At My Life Recovery, our program helps you identify what’s fueling your anxiety, teaches effective coping strategies, and creates a path forward toward emotional well-being and long-term balance.

How We Treat Generalized Anxiety Disorder

An Integrated, Personalized Approach to Lasting Recovery

Our comprehensive treatment program for GAD addresses both the symptoms of anxiety and the deeper emotional patterns that cause them. With a focus on whole-person healing, we combine clinical care, wellness practices, and supportive therapies to guide your recovery at every stage.

Take The First Step

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

GAD frequently co-occurs with depression, trauma, or substance use. Our dual diagnosis care ensures that both anxiety and any coexisting mental health challenges are treated simultaneously, supporting deeper healing and long-term recovery.

Individualized Assessment and Treatment Plans

We begin with a detailed evaluation of your history, symptoms, and life circumstances. This helps us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals, challenges, and long-term mental health needs.

Evidence-Based Therapies

We use trusted, research-supported therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices to help you reframe anxious thought patterns, regulate emotions, and reduce physical symptoms of anxiety.

Medication Management (When Needed)

In some cases, short- or long-term medication may support symptom stabilization. Our medical team carefully evaluates each case to determine the safest and most effective medication strategy as part of a broader care plan.

Stress Reduction and Emotional Resilience

We teach practical, everyday skills for managing stress—such as breathwork, time management, and emotional awareness techniques—so you can stay grounded, calm, and in control throughout your daily life.

Holistic and Wellness-Oriented Care

Our program integrates practices like yoga, meditation, expressive arts, and nutrition to support physical health, emotional clarity, and mind-body alignment. These holistic activities create space for self-reflection, self-care, and personal growth.
