The most common disorder known as Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a long term condition that causes you to feel anxious about anything and everything. People who have GAD will feel anxious most days and can struggle to relax. They can feel restless, agitated, have difficulty concentrating or sleeping, experience physical symptoms such as chest pains, dizziness or heart palpitations.
Research
CBT is effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders and is the most practised form of modern psychotherapy. A lot of therapists that don't identify themselves as CBT therapists also use CBT techniques in their practice. There has been much research to test the efficacy of CBT; one particular research looked at CBT versus placebo for anxiety disorders (Hofmann SG & Smits JA. (2008). They found support for the use of CBT in anxiety disorders. Specifically, the severity of anxiety symptoms was decreased for people who took CBT over placebo, and the effect of this decrease was most significant for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder and acute stress disorder.
