Detailed explanation-1: -An estimated 5.7% of U.S. adults experience generalized anxiety disorder at some time in their lives.
Detailed explanation-2: -People with generalized anxiety disorder may have a history of significant life changes, traumatic or negative experiences during childhood, or a recent traumatic or negative event. Chronic medical illnesses or other mental health disorders may increase risk.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cognitive restructuring and imaginal exposure exercises can benefit patients with GAD by targeting their tendency to give catastrophic interpretations to their worries, whereas mindfulness can be helpful in targeting worry as a mental behavior itself (5).
Detailed explanation-4: -GAD means that you are worrying constantly and can’t control the worrying.
