Generalized Anxiety Disorder

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Generalized anxiety disorder involves persistent, excessive worry across many domains for at least six months.

Show

A person worries continuously about finances, health, and family, with no single triggering situation.

Watch for

The absence of a specific trigger is the diagnostic feature. Worry that attaches to one domain is classified elsewhere.
