What is Anxiety?
Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a condition in which a person experiences intense, excessive, and persistent worry about a variety of things for six or more months. While anxiety is normal in stressful situations, excessive anxiety can be an indicator of an underlying anxiety disorder and interfere with daily living.
Typical Symptoms of Anxiety
- Stressed over daily life
- Episodes of sudden, severe anxiety or fear
- Fears that are sometimes irrational or illogical
- Feeling flustered or scared
- My anxiety doesn't go away or keeps coming back repeatedly
- Getting anxious about anything and everything
- Hot flashes
- Often feel uneasy and restless; unable to feel calm or at peace
Diagnostic Questions for Anxiety
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you feel stressed or unhappy about going to work or school?
- Do you experience sudden, intense anxiety or fear?
- Do you think your fears are sometimes irrational or illogical?
- Do you feel overwhelmed or frightened every day?
- Does your anxiety persist or recur?
Treatment of Anxiety
Mild anxiety can often be managed with coping mechanisms, life changes, and counseling. For severe cases, medication like antidepressants, anxiolytics, and sedatives may be advised along with therapy.

FAQs
Q.
How to tell if you are a narcissist.
A.
Signs you might be a narcissist include persistent grandiosity, craving admiration, low empathy, and disproportionate anger or shame at criticism—especially when these patterns harm relationships, work, or daily life. Because narcissism exists on a spectrum, there are several factors to consider—see below for specific behaviors to watch for, the difference between grandiose and vulnerable types, self-reflection questions and a free screening to try, plus when to seek a professional evaluation and what treatments can help.

Q.
What is a covert narcissist?
A.
A covert narcissist is someone with the core traits of narcissistic personality disorder—grandiosity, need for admiration, and low empathy—who expresses them in a quiet, self-effacing, or victim-tinged way (think passive-aggression, envy, and hypersensitivity to criticism) that can be just as harmful to relationships. There are several factors to consider, including key red flags, how it differs from overt narcissism, and next steps like screening, diagnosis, therapy, and boundary-setting—see details below.

Q.
What is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD); do I have it?
A.
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common, treatable condition marked by persistent, excessive worry most days for months that’s hard to control and often causes restlessness, muscle tension, sleep problems, and impaired daily functioning. If these patterns fit you, tools like the GAD-7 (a score of 10 or higher suggests higher likelihood) can guide you to seek a professional diagnosis and care—there are several factors to consider, so see below for key symptoms, risks, self-checks, effective therapies and medications, self-help steps, and urgent warning signs that can shape your next steps.
