Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
There are several different anxiety disorders. I have listed below the most common.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Social Phobia, Specific Phobia, Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, and Agoraphobia.
Physical symptoms of GAD include:
- Restlessness
- Fatigue
- Difficulty Concentrating
- Irritability
- Muscle Tension
- Sleep Disturbance
The key to this disorder is an excessive amount of anxiety. Someone with GAD would worry excessively about finances, losing their job, the car breaking down, whether they are being a good parent, and coping with difficulties that arise.
GAD can interfere with daily activities, relationships, and quality of life. It is treatable with therapy, medication, or a combination of both.

Think exhaustion, cynicism, and feeling like your accomplishments are running on empty, all thanks to ongoing work stress.
Here's the deal: if you're facing the blues or burnout, don't go it alone. There's support and treatment out there that can turn things around. Depression and burnout aren't just everyday feelings – they can seriously mess with your life and overall well-being. Let's tackle this together.

A person may feel low on energy, lack interest in activities they once enjoyed, or want to isolate themselves from others.
