dc.description.abstractAnxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health conditions in today’s societies. Especially since the pandemic, numbers have risen so that close to 40% of U.S. have experienced some sort of anxiety disorder since 2020 (CDC, 2021). This makes it incredibly relevant to investigate generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The papers studied in this literature review discuss how certain brain regions, neural pathways, and neurotransmitters are affected in GAD. The review also dives deeper into treatment options such as different medications used to treat GAD and how they work physiologically. The review also covers papers looking into different lifestyle factors such as daily movement or lack thereof, different diets, and mindfulness/meditation practices. It proposes potential future areas of study for GAD and what kind of lifestyle appears to be most beneficial for someone with GAD.
