Feeling anxious before an exam, job interview, or important event is normal. But when worry becomes constant, uncontrollable, and affects daily life, it may be more than normal stress—it could be Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

If you are searching for a psychiatrist in Rohtak or a psychiatrist in Sonipat, this guide will help you understand GAD and why professional help matters.
