across the world and can have mentally crippling effects. The
worst sufferers are virtually unable to leave their home let
alone perform required tasks like working or shopping. They live
in constant fear of rejection and feel that they don't fit in
normal everyday society. it can sometimes be mistaken for
paranoia, because paranoid feelings are a symptom of this
illness. Even the slightest thing can trigger a reaction that
many would consider to be over the top. Meetings at work or
meetings with teachers are not merely an inconvenience but a
reason for panic and worry. General Anxiety Disorder can make
people very ill in the long run because they essentially burnout.
general Anxiety Disorder causes people to become very irritable.
This is not only because of a lack of sleep and the onslaught of
fatigue but also because many patients believe that people laugh
at them. This feeling can make the most innocuous question seem
like a challenge.
Sufferers will struggle to concentrate on anything and may lose
interest in things they previously found entertaining. This is
true of patients who develop General Anxiety Disorder.
Fatigue is very closely associated to general Anxiety Disorder
because sufferers struggle to sleep and struggle to wind down.
They are always worrying about things, no matter how small or
large the problems are. Night times are the worst time of all
because there is nothing else to take the sufferers mind off the
problem.
Most symptoms of General Anxiety Disorder are behavioral
symptoms and can be difficult to spot by people who are not
closely involved with the patient. Often these symptoms are
attributed to a person's character and the fact that they have a
mental illness is ignored. There are some physical symptoms too
but these are usually due to the mental symptoms in the first
place.
