Good evening - Welcome to the beginning of a series of educational posts about mental health! Each Thursday you will find little tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help.

We will start with anxiety disorders - tonight, specifically, Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a consistent worry that is excessive in nature about everyday things, even in the absence of a reason to worry. Those with GAD generally experience restlessness, feel tense, exhausted, trouble concentrating and have poor sleep.

Psychotherapy can help you by teaching skills to control worry, challenge thoughts that are unhelpful or unrealistic, experience relaxation techniques and engage in problem solving skills.

If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms, feel free to reach out to our group for support!
