Generalised Anxiety (Children)
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterised by chronic and excessive worry about everyday issues that persist for at least six months.
This worry is disproportionate to any actual risk, causing significant distress or impairment. The anxiety is difficult to control and is not solely related to another mental health disorder, substance misuse, or a physical health condition.
