Although a distinct disorder, symptoms of panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other forms of anxiety are similar to generalized anxiety disorder. This condition may affect both kids and adults.

Health experts conduct comprehensive inquiries regarding a patient's signs and symptoms, as well as his or her medical history to diagnose a generalized anxiety disorder. Psychological questionnaires, such as the GAD-7, may be used to assess the degree of symptom severity. A physical examination will also be performed to see if there are any indicators that the symptoms are caused by medicines or certain underlying medical conditions. If an underlying condition is suspected, lab tests (such as blood and urine tests) may be performed.
