Generalized anxiety disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a chronic anxiety disorder characterized by persistent and significant nervousness, accompanied by autonomic nervous system excitement and excessive vigilance. Patients with GAD often have characteristic appearances, such as distorted facial muscles, frowning brows, tense postures, and restlessness, even trembling, pale skin, and sweaty palms, soles, and armpits. It is worth noting that although patients are prone to crying, it is a reflection of a generalized anxiety state and does not indicate depression.
