Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is characterized by excessive anxiety and worry that is difficult to control. The worry is accompanied by at least one of restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, or sleep disturbance. Anxiety may present with crying episodes, temper tantrums, and irritability in children. Compared to adults, youth are also more likely to report somatic complaints associated with anxiety such as gastrointestinal upset, headaches, and sweating. Psychotherapies for GAD include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and parent guidance to decrease accommodating behaviors. Pharmacotherapy options include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).
