Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent and excessive anxiety or worry. Individuals with GAD commonly experience restlessness, intense tension, or fear. During episodes, physical symptoms such as sweating, shortness of breath, palpitations, and elevated blood pressure may also occur. In severe cases, prompt treatment with medication at a qualified medical facility is essential.
