Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Worry

We all worry from time to time.  However, some people struggle with more chronic patterns of worry, as well as being tense, stressed out, and negative.

People may struggle with worrying negative thoughts, physiological symptoms of anxiety, such as stomach upset or muscle tension, and avoidant behavior, such as procrastination or not taking professional risks like trying a new job.

In treatment we address these components and how they interact.  Patients learn to get more distance from their worrying thoughts, to manage physiological symtoms, and to overcome what we call "worry behavior."
