How do you know if you have GAD?

Posted by Ilene on January 22, 2003, at 9:24:12

This is a question about something Ritch said in a different thread (Older drugs vs. new drugs) about "apprehensive rumination about the future". I do this all the time, and I have a lot of time on my hands. (Can't work due to depression, don't want to go anywhere or do anything.)
GAD is "general anxiety disorder," right? How is it different from regular anxiety? How do you know you are anxious and/or generally anxious? Seriously. I am so far from normal I don't know whether I would recognize it.
Do ADs or mood stabilizers help? Are there any drugs specifically for GAD?
