What Are Generalised Anxiety Disorder Symptoms?
Attention to GAD has increased significantly over the past ten years for a good reason. Now more than ever, more lifestyle stresses and expectations are placed upon people. Feeling anxious is a common human emotion; generalised Anxiety Disorder occurs when the sense of fear, dread or overwhelm becomes persistent and prevents someone from carrying out their daily tasks or social interaction. It is considered a long-term condition and affects people for most of their adult lives without proper care and treatment.
GAD can range from mild to severe. Because of this, the diagnosis is complex, which is why it’s so important to seek out professional opinion if you are struggling.
GAD can last for many years or even throughout your whole life, with different fluctuations in intensity based on the amount and frequency of different stressors in your life at that time.
The main symptoms of generalised anxiety disorder are having persistant worry or anxiety about an aspect of daily life, whether that be work, family or social. Others observe restlessness, irritability, muscle tension, headaches, or feeling on edge and being on all the time. This leaves people tired and fatigued, as living in a constant state of stress burns a tremendous amount of energy. Overthinking and worst-case outcomes, perceiving situations and events as threatening. This often leads to indecisiveness due to fear of making the wrong decision. Which means any uncertainty is difficult to handle. Sleep disturbances are also common, including trouble falling or staying asleep.
Let me shed some light on why this may happen if you can relate.

What Are The Causes of Generalised Anxiety Disorder?
But it’s the same thing the next day, the next week, and the next month. Soon, what started as an annoyance or discomfort has progressed into debilitating pain that’s preventing you from living your life:
Some of these include:
- Certain cancers
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Respiratory disorders
- Cirrhosis of the liver
- Coronary heart disease
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Alzheimer’s disease
When the body is constantly in a low-grade fight-of-flight state, it diverts valuable resources away from vital processes such as healing, rest, digestion, growth, repair, and adaptation.
This is why so much emphasis has been placed on reducing stress and managing the symptoms safely, effectively, and naturally.
Life Balance Chiropractic offers a unique look at recovery and recuperation from Mental Health conditions in a safe and judgement-free environment due to our specialism in the nervous system that controls whether or not you are living in a chronic state of stress or ease and, therefore, our perception and how we feel.
If you can relate to this and you feel like your quality of life has been affected by GAD or you feel the selling of your future, then consult with an anxiety therapist, such as a chiropractor, who can provide relief and strategies to manage the anxiety and stressors more effectively as well as bring balance back to your nervous system and take you out of a chronic stress response and into a rest, digest, repair, recuperate response safely and effectively.

What To Do When Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Don’t Subside?
If you’ve ever experienced GAD, then you know deeply this pain interferes with your everyday life. Early intervention is key to reducing duration and severity. The sooner individuals seek help for anxiety, the better the outcomes are.
Your whole life is placed on hold as it becomes increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to:
- Concentrate and do your daily tasks or jobs.
- Not able to make decisions
- Sleep
- Enjoy life
- Relax
- Travel or be out with friends
- Enjoy your hobbies and passions
So you try everything you can think of to find relief, but the problem persists, and it can manifest in physical symptoms as the body keeps score. These can include muscle tension, joint restriction, stomach problems, unexplained pain and aches, feeling on edge and easily fatigued, and difficulty sleeping.
You end up frustrated and wondering, “Why won’t these feelings just go away?”
So you try to find relief, but the problem persists.

The Key To Breaking The Cycle
The usual problem people run into is something we call “The Loop.”
This is the constant research, action, failure cycle that seems to stay stuck on repeat as you work your way through:
Medications
Herbal remedies
CBT (which can also be effective)
Seeking help groups
And so many more
Each time you try something new, the symptoms persist or worsen.
The most worrying aspect of this cycle is its further toll on our physical, emotional, and chemical bodies.
Repeated Physical Stress can increase the risk of further damage.
Repeated Emotional Stress can lower the efficiency of our immune system.
Repeated Chemical Stress from our medications can cause dangerous inflammation.
In reality, treating GAD with medications can be highly addictive and quite dangerous due to their side effects.

Based on 118 reviewsEXCELLENT Based on 131 reviews Pete Thank you Life Balance. I have been seeing Harrison and Kayla on a regular basis now. Compared to my starting point of not being able to work, drive or even sit comfortably, with the combination of adjustments and sports massage, I am now back to work. I appreciate all your support and I am really grateful to be able to carry on working within a short period of time. When attending an appointment there is always a warm welcome from everyone at reception and the rest of the Life Balance team. Joanne Jenkinson After experiencing chronic headaches/migraines I took advantage of the introductory offer in June. The team are fabulous and really care about their clients. They are really thorough and each plan is tailored to your needs. The headaches are gone, I can’t explain how incredible that is. My posture is improving, I am less hunched and my breathing at night has improved so I don’t snore. Overall mood has improved too which has a positive effect on the whole family. I’m still receiving treatment and I can’t wait to see my progress at my next review. ANNA WAN I initially came across the world of chiropractic care after seeing some videos online and reading about the benefits people were experiencing, so I decided to find a practice close to me in Poole and after a quick google search I found Life Balance Chiropractic. I initially went to Life Balance to see a chiropractor for sciatica which was affecting my driving and for pain in my hips after glandular fever. However, I had been reading about the benefits having adjustments could have on a person's mental health and coincidentally, I was also signed off work with exhaustion and as a result my mental health had taken a knock. I explained all of this to Harrison the chiropractor and he felt that positive change was possible both physically and mentally for me. To say I was nervous would be an understatement, I grew up with a mother who told me chiropractors were dangerous and to be avoided, but Harrison was very patient and explained things before doing them. The first adjustment appointment went well and at the second, I was asked if I had experienced any changes positive or negative. Well, my menstrual cycle had been kick started for the first time in about 7 years which was quite a shock initially, but after speaking with another chiropractor, Olivia, who explained that this was a good thing and that my body was responding well, I felt more positive. During the second session, Harrison said he was going to do an adjustment on my neck that would "wake me up". In the days that followed, I began reading for leisure for the first time in over a decade. It had always been an activity I enjoyed, but as my mental health had became more medication dependent, I found that when I read a novel, my eyes couldn't focus on the page and the words danced around and I certainly couldn't take the words in so I moved over to audio books. The last time I had tried was just a couple of months ago and still couldn't read the way I wanted to. This has been an unexpected and joyous improvement to my life that's come from the adjustments and I can't thank Harrison enough. Physically, I have minimal pain in both my hips now and the sciatica isn't occurring as often. I'm only 5 sessions into 24, so with so much improvement in a short space of time, I'm excited to see what will happen at the end of the 24. Mary South Extremely thorough and knowledgeable. Friendly relaxing environment. Recommended Aileen Elder Both the Chiropractor, Harrison, and Kayla, doing the massage treatments have helped me greatly with my lower back pain and I wish I had come earlier. I would recommend them to everyone. Marguerite Veale I have been come since 2020 for chronic back pain, also neck and plus very bad debilitating migraines, my medication wasn’t helping and neither was seeing a physio. I could only walk very short distance. Initially I was seen weekly. But within a short period my migraines had gone I was able to stop taking the medication for that. My back neck and shoulder pain has taken longer because of arthritis , and a few set backs with falls and illnesses. I am now on a maintenance plan although I have to walk using a rollator I can walk much further. I have to stop and start, but I am able to enjoy life again. Also with aid of the pain management I am reducing my pain relief. I also very much recommend the massage the combination is so beneficial. All the staff are so helpful and friendly. My problems will never be cured but this what keeps me moving and enjoying life again. Thank you so much especially Josh for all your help and future help. Lisa Shakespeare I contacted Life Balance with back pain I'd never had before. I knew it wouldn't be a "quick fix" due to an old back injury, but I am already seeing results and moving more easily. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Dr Jack has been great, explaining every stage of my treatment and answering questions have. Belinda Stuebinger I came in with bad and constant face pain as no one else seemed to be able to help. Within only 3 weeks of getting adjustments, I have seen significant improvements to my pain and my quality of life in general. The receptionist team is easily the loveliest I have ever met and I'm always greeted with a smile when I come in. Harrison has been fantastic explaining what exactly isn't right with my spine and how we can fix it. It's been only 3 weeks and he's done an amazing job! If you're looking for a competent and friendly chiropractor with a comfortable environment, look no further! Jamie Drennan I have had a great experience with Life Balance , starting with my daughter who was seen from age of 5 weeks old , listened and treated with care and changed her within the first visit. I have had back problems for years which have been managed but never resolved . I had a full assessment with xray. Full explanation with results and the best treatment to get me on my journey for pain free and more movement. Having a 4 month old baby and other children being in constant pain was exhausting . I am half way through treatment and feeling more positive and more comfortable. I never have any problem moving my appointments to fit in and around my busy life. Which Is so helpful . Thank you so far to everyone who is treating me . Lou x Mason Bonner Life Balance Chiropractic have a great, super friendly front of house team. Harrison was super knowledgeable, very professional and most of all, very very good at what he does. Would definitely recommend!
