Generalized Anxiety Disorders

Generalized anxiety disorders are defined as feelings of worry, tension, and stress that would be considered excessive and hard to get rid of. Those who are experiencing a generalized anxiety disorder may find themselves dealing with extreme concern regarding every aspect of their lives, from their money to their health and everything in between.

The diagnosis of a generalized anxiety disorder comes with consistent worrying that does not subside after six months. Generalized anxiety disorder is a very common mental health disorder that has been shown to impact an estimated 3% of Canada’s population, with women being twice as likely to experience the mental health concern than men.
