  • Generalised anxiety disorder tends to last all
    day, every day but with varying intensity.
  • Sufferers dont always know what the trigger is.

  • Sometimes it could be something relatively minor
    stress occurring at home or work.
  • They usually experience several symptoms at the
    same time including sleep issues, difficulty
    concentrating, muscle tension and restlessness.
