Generalized Anxiety Disorder...?

I am 14 years old and have never been to the doctor for any mental complications. I have recently discovered the cause of my constant worrying and inability to sleep Generalized Anxiety Disorder(GAD). If I went to the doctor for the illness in which I suffer from, what would the doctor do to help my issue?

hold it tiger how did u discover ur ailment without consulting a doctor. if u just read the symptoms and are now self diagnosing thats called intern syndrome (not really a condition). even if the symptoms match up exactly u still may not have the disorder, or else u may have a watered down version of it or something. go to the doctor and see what he says, its better if u go to mroe than one. also, try and get a second opinion if he wants to load u on chemicals and pills, see what else they have to offer first, pills are often not the best treatments.

I would consider counseling first. There is a reason you feel anxious about things that involves your thought processes. If you can learn to change the way you think about things that make you nervous, it will go away. A doctor would put you on medication, but that does nothing to solve the underlying problem.

well when i went i was told to relax if not i would need meds... i was like hell no ... so i started not making such a big deal out of everything and changing my ways it took time and slowly it went away..... i have not had an anxiety attack in 7 years...:)just always know it can be so much worse...

He'll throw pills at you and you'll be medicated for the rest of your life. Every time you forget to take your medicine your world will come crashing down and you'll start drinking and become an alcoholic.

I'd ask to be reffered to a counselor first...

It would probably depend on the doctor, many will just put you on medication. There are other techniques that you could try or even the health shop might be able to give you something
