Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive and persistent worry and anxiety about everyday events and activities. The person with this disorder may feel constantly "keyed up" or on edge, and have difficulty controlling their worry. They may worry about minor things and have a hard time relaxing, which can impact their daily functioning. Depression, agoraphobia, and panic attacks may also involve anxiety, but do not necessarily involve the same level of chronic worry and anticipation of negative events as generalized anxiety disorder.
