How does generalized anxiety disorder affect daily life?

Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) can affect almost every aspect of daily living, making even routine tasks feel overwhelming. People with GAD often experience difficulty concentrating, which can impact work or school performance. Relationships may suffer due to irritability, constant reassurance-seeking, or withdrawal from social activities. Persistent physical symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, and poor sleep can lead to fatigue and reduced motivation. Many avoid situations they fear could trigger anxiety, limiting opportunities and reducing enjoyment in hobbies or leisure activities. Over time, this constant worry and avoidance can lower self-confidence, increase stress, and diminish overall quality of life.

If anxiety is interfering with your work, relationships, or personal wellbeing, book a consultation now to explore strategies that can help you regain control.
