Who is affected by Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)?

Both adults and children can develop GAD, though the condition may look different

depending on age. For example, children may worry excessively about school

performance or family issues, while adults may worry about job security or health.

Women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with GAD. In some cases, symptoms

may emerge or intensify during pregnancy or the postpartum period, adding additional

layers of emotional and physical strain.
