Generalized Anxiety Discord
What is Generalized Anxiety Discord?
It is a disorder that produces worries, intense fears, and excessive thoughts being disproportionate to the real danger in daily life situations. They occur occasionally, are sometimes difficult to control and can last for a long time. Symptoms can interfere with daily activities, such as work performance, schoolwork and relationships.
Causes
Anxiety results from a blend of factors. Genetics can predispose individuals, while brain chemistry imbalances and traumatic experiences affect how anxiety manifests. Chronic stress, personality traits like perfectionism, and environmental factors also contribute. This intricate interplay highlights the diverse origins of anxiety.

Prevention
Although the exact cause is unknown, it is necessary to take measures to avoid anxiety. When signs and symptoms appear, it is recommended to ask for help from a specialist so that it does not worsen, enjoy interaction with family and friends to reduce worries, avoid the consumption of alcohol and other substances.
Signs and Symptoms
There are physical and emotional signs and symptoms. It is important not to confuse shyness or awkwardness as social anxiety since some people are more extroverted than others.
