Support for Generalised Anxiety Disorders in Bangalore

When Worry Becomes a Constant Companion

When Worry Becomes a Constant Companion

We all feel anxious at times before an exam, during a big decision, or when life feels uncertain. But when worry becomes persistent, uncontrollable, and interferes with daily life, it may be more than just stress. At Kriteyu Health Care, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals experiencing Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), helping you regain calm, clarity, and control.

Understanding Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

GAD is characterised by excessive, ongoing worry about a variety of everyday issues even when there may be little or no reason for concern. It's not simply "overthinking" or "being too sensitive." It's a real and often exhausting mental health condition that deserves validation and support.

Common Symptoms of GAD:

  • Constant feelings of worry or dread
  • Difficulty relaxing or "switching off" thoughts
  • Physical symptoms such as fatigue, restlessness, muscle tension, or sleep difficulties
  • Trouble concentrating or feeling "on edge"
  • Over-planning or avoidance due to fear of negative outcomes

If these symptoms persist for weeks or months, GAD could be the underlying cause.

Causes and Contributing Factors

There is no single cause of GAD, but a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors may contribute, including:

  • Family history or genetic predisposition
  • Chronic stress or trauma history
  • Certain personality traits (e.g., perfectionism or high sensitivity)
  • Imbalances in brain chemistry
  • Medical conditions such as thyroid problems or chronic illness

Understanding the why behind your anxiety is an essential part of effective care and something we focus on during assessment and treatment.

How We Treat Generalised Anxiety at Kriteyu Health Care

Treatment for GAD involves a combination of therapeutic approaches tailored to your individual needs. Our focus is not just symptom relief but long-term emotional resilience and improved quality of life. Personalised treatment may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): A structured, goal-oriented therapy that helps you challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills.
  • Mindfulness-Based Techniques: Including breathing exercises, guided relaxation, and grounding strategies to manage day-to-day anxiety symptoms.
  • Medication (if required): When clinically appropriate, we may prescribe anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications, with ongoing monitoring and guidance.
  • Psychoeducation and Lifestyle Support: Helping you understand your condition, identify triggers, and implement supportive habits around sleep, nutrition, and activity.
When to Seek Help

When to Seek Help

It's time to speak to a professional if anxiety is:

  • Disrupting your work, studies, or relationships
  • Causing you constant fatigue or physical discomfort
  • Preventing you from enjoying life or engaging with others
  • Leading to feelings of hopelessness or frustration

Early intervention can prevent anxiety from deepening and reduce its long-term impact on your well-being.

FAQs

While occasional stress is normal, GAD involves persistent and excessive worry about multiple areas of life, lasting for six months or more and interfering with daily functioning.

Yes. With the right combination of therapy, support, and in some cases, medication, individuals with GAD can manage symptoms effectively and lead fulfilling lives.

Not always. Many individuals benefit from therapy alone. If medication is recommended, we ensure it's carefully considered and tailored to your needs.

Improving sleep, exercise, nutrition, and practising relaxation techniques can significantly support recovery and reduce anxiety levels.

This varies by individual. Some notice changes within a few weeks, especially with therapy. Medication, if prescribed, may take a few weeks to show effect. Consistency is key.
