Anxiety over health, money or family problems is common. But for a person with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), excessive worry may prevent a person from leading a normal life.

The National Institute of Mental Health says worrying may be out of control if you:

• Worry intensely about everyday matters.
• Have trouble controlling worries or feelings of nervousness.
• Know that you worry more than you should.
• Feel restless and have trouble relaxing.
• Have difficulty concentrating.
• Are easily startled.
• Have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.
• Feel tired all the time.
• Sweat a lot, feel light-headed or out of breath.

If you think your worrying may be out of control, speak with your doctor.
