Focusing attention is difficult as the mind quickly switches from crisis to crisis. People with GAD mostly worry about minor, everyday life events, a characteristic that distinguishes GAD from other anxiety disorders.A phobia is an irrational fear of an object or situation that markedly interferes with an individual's ability to function. It manifests itself in agoraphobia, a specific phobia, or a social phobia.People with GAD avoid distressing thoughts and feelings. The phobic individual avoids situations or objects or endures with intense anxiety or distress.
