Coping With Stress and Anxiety   Most people worry at times about their health, job, money, or family, but some people experience anxiety about these things and more, in a way that is persistent, excessive, and intrusive. In the more severe cases of anxiety (which may be diagnosed as Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD), people may struggle to relax and have trouble concentrating on tasks. They may experience physical symptoms including restlessness, sweating, difficulty swallowing, and using the restroom a lot.   The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), estimates that around 19% of adults in the United States have some form of anxiety disorder. Additionally, nearly 3% of all U.S. adults have experienced GAD in the last year and it is estimated that up to 9% experience GAD at some point in their lives.   Learn more about the differences between anxiety disorders and other types of stress, and some coping tips to help you manage your situation and start to feel better.
