GAD: Another name for Generalized anxiety disorder.
GAD (condition): Excessive anxiety and worrying.
GAD: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is much more than the normal anxiety
people experience day to day. It’s chronic and exaggerated worry and
tension, even though nothing seems to provoke it. Having this disorder
means always anticipating disaster, often worrying excessively about
health, money, family, or work. Sometimes, though, the source of the worry
is hard to pinpoint. Simply the thought of getting through the day
provokes anxiety. 1
