Generalized Anxiety Disorder Understanding

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Overview

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by persistent and excessive worry about a number of different things. People with Generalized Anxiety Disorder may anticipate disaster and may be overly concerned about money, health, family, work, or other issues. Individuals with Generalized Anxiety Disorder find it difficult to control their worry. They may worry more than seems warranted about actual events or may expect the worst even when there is no apparent reason for concern. People with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) display excessive anxiety or worry, most days for at least 6 months, about a number of things such as personal health, work, social interactions, and everyday routine life circumstances. The fear and anxiety can cause significant problems in areas of their life, such as social interactions, school, and work.

Symptoms
Generalized anxiety disorder symptoms include:
Feeling restless, wound-up, or on-edge
Being easily fatigued
Having difficulty concentrating; mind going blank
Being irritable
Having muscle tension
Difficulty controlling feelings of worry
Having sleep problems, such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, restlessness, or unsatisfying sleep
Diagnosis

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is diagnosed with a mental health screening that a primary care provider can perform. They will ask questions about symptoms and how long the patient have had them. They can refer the patients to a mental health specialist, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. If the primary care provider suspects that a medical condition or substance abuse problem is causing anxiety, they may perform more tests. These may include:
blood tests, to check hormone levels that may indicate a thyroid disorder
urine tests, to check for substance abuse
gastric reflux tests, such as an X-ray of your digestive system or an endoscopy procedure to look at your esophagus, to check for GERD
X-rays and stress tests, to check for heart conditions
Treatment

Treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder most often includes a combination of medication and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy: People being treated for anxiety disorders often take part in this type of therapy, in which they learn to recognize and change thought patterns and behaviors that lead to anxious feelings.
Medications: These aren’t a cure, but they can help ease symptoms. The drugs most often used to treat GAD in the short term (since they can be addictive, are sedating, and can interfere with memory and attention) are from a group of drugs called benzodiazepines.
Common benzodiazepines include alprazolam (Xanax), chlordiazepoxide Hcl (Librium), diazepam (Valium), and lorazepam (Ativan).

This segment of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder Emerging Drugs

Vilazodone: AbbVie; Allergan; m8 Pharmaceuticals

Vilazodone is a novel antidepressant having a selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor and 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist profile, so it has been regarded as a serotonin partial agonist-reuptake inhibitor (SPARI). Vilazodone has been speculated to have three potential benefits including faster onset of action, greater efficacy, and better tolerability owning to its SPARI properties.
