Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
What is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a condition characterized by persistent, excessive worry that’s difficult to control. People with GAD often find themselves constantly anticipating problems, even when there’s little or no reason for concern. This ongoing anxiety can affect concentration, sleep, and daily functioning, leaving individuals feeling mentally exhausted or on edge.
Anxiety is a natural human response, but when it becomes constant and overwhelming, it can interfere with work, relationships, and overall well-being. At Wellness Whisper Psychiatry, we understand how anxiety can quietly take over everyday life, and we’re here to help you find calm, clarity, and lasting relief through personalized care.

Persistent fear or concern about everyday situations, even minor ones.
Feeling tense, easily startled, or unable to relax.
