Constant worrying doesn’t have to be your normal.
If your mind feels like it’s always on high alert—thinking about worst-case scenarios, overanalyzing small decisions, or feeling tense for no clear reason—you could be dealing with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). This mental health condition involves excessive, persistent worry that interferes with daily life. You may try to push through or ignore it, but over time, unmanaged anxiety can affect your health, relationships, and ability to enjoy the present moment.
Dr. Marco Rabines at Elysium Mental Health in Bradenton, Florida, offers trusted psychiatric support for anxiety disorders, including GAD. His approach blends medical insight, collaborative care, and personalized treatment planning to help you find relief that feels sustainable.
What Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?
GAD is more than occasional stress. It’s defined by frequent, hard-to-control worry about a wide range of everyday concerns—work, family, health, finances, and more. The anxiety is often disproportionate to the situation and is present most days for six months or longer.
Common symptoms of GAD include:
- Restlessness or feeling on edge
- Muscle tension or physical discomfort
- Difficulty concentrating or feeling “foggy”
- Trouble falling or staying asleep
- Constant feelings of dread or unease
- Fatigue or irritability
These symptoms can fluctuate but often linger in the background, creating ongoing emotional strain.
How GAD Is Diagnosed
A psychiatric evaluation is used to understand your symptoms, their duration, and how they’re affecting your quality of life. Dr. Rabines explores your medical and emotional history to determine if your anxiety meets the criteria for GAD or another anxiety-related disorder. He takes time to understand how your thoughts and experiences are connected, rather than relying solely on checklists or generalizations.
Treatment Options
For Generalized Anxiety Disorder, treatment targets chronic worry and associated physical tension that interfere with daily life. Telehealth care integrates individualized medication options with practical therapeutic strategies to reduce anxiety and improve stress tolerance. Ongoing follow-up supports symptom control and long-term emotional regulation.
