Generalized Anxiety Disorder. 65 Tools for Coping with Anxiety and Depression

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a mental state in which anxiety and worry arise almost daily and spread to different areas of life, even in the absence of a real threat. Thoughts swirl in circles, making it difficult to relax and focus; fatigue, irritability, and sleep disturbances often occur.

At the core of this workbook are evidence-based approaches that will help understand the mechanisms of anxiety and chronic worry and develop skills that can be applied in everyday life.

Inside are exercises, worksheets, self-monitoring forms, and step-by-step techniques aimed at reducing anxiety, decreasing physiological tension, and returning to the “here and now.”

Special attention is paid to the relationship between anxiety and depressive symptoms and how working with anxious thinking can improve mood and quality of life.

This publication is intended for a wide audience and can be used for both self-work and as a supplement to psychotherapy.
