Conditions We Treat
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
When worry feels constant, careful treatment can help bring it back into proportion.
Understanding Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) involves excessive, persistent worry about many areas of life — health, work, family, finances — that is difficult to control and lasts for months.
GAD often brings physical symptoms and frequently coexists with depression or sleep difficulties.
Common Symptoms
Ongoing worry about multiple topics
Difficulty controlling worry
Restlessness or feeling keyed up
Fatigue
Muscle tension
Difficulty concentrating
Sleep disturbance
Symptoms vary from person to person. Only a qualified clinician can make a diagnosis.
How We Can Help
Evaluation explores the pattern of worry, physical and medical contributors, and how anxiety affects your daily life.
You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the diagnosis and the options available to you.
Cavalieri Psychiatry provides psychiatric care for adults age 18 and older who are physically located in Florida at the time of their telepsychiatry appointment.
Treatment Options
Treatment is individualized. Recommendations depend on your history, symptoms, preferences, and goals — and not every option is appropriate for every patient.
Depending on your needs, a plan may include medication management, education about your condition, practical lifestyle recommendations related to sleep, stress, and routine, referral to psychotherapy, and coordination of care with your other clinicians when appropriate.
Progress is reviewed together over time, and the plan is adjusted as your needs change.
Frequently Asked Questions
GAD can involve excessive and difficult-to-control worry about everyday situations, along with restlessness, muscle tension, irritability, fatigue, sleep problems, or difficulty concentrating.
Diagnosis involves a careful psychiatric evaluation of your symptoms, how long they have been present, how much they affect daily life, and whether another mental health or medical condition may be contributing.
Treatment may include medication management, psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy, lifestyle recommendations, and ongoing monitoring based on your individual needs.
Normal worry is usually temporary and related to a specific situation. GAD involves persistent, excessive worry that can be difficult to control and may interfere with work, relationships, sleep, or daily functioning.
