Description

Generalized anxiety disorder is a disorder that is characterized by persistent feelings of anxiety and worry. The worry is typically out of proportion to the actual circumstances, it exists through most areas of a person's day-to-day life, and is experienced as difficult to control. The anxiety and worry is described as generalized, as the content of the worry can cover a number of different events or circumstances, and the physical symptoms of anxiety are not specific and are part of a normal response to threat. The symptoms of anxiety typically experienced by individuals with generalized anxiety disorder are *feeling restless, keyed up, or on edge *being easily tired *having difficulty concentrating, or having your mind going blank *feeling irritable *having tense, tight or sore muscles *having difficulty sleeping; either difficulty falling or staying asleep, or restless unsatisfying sleep. This book's aim is to teach you to manage your worry and anxiety by learning to change the way you think and the way you react to your thinking and other events. In essence, you will be learning new methods of control.
