If you are having problems dealing with your fears and worries about everyday things, even when you are giving your best effort to relax or unwind, you may be experiencing GAD. If this anxiety continues for months and interferes with your ability to carry out and enjoy your daily life, you should seek professional help. These symptoms may not go away on their own and the longer you wait before seeking help, the greater the chances that your anxiety symptoms will become severe and affect your ability to work and interact socially.
