GAD

I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Is this a curable condition or is it life-long?

I look at GAD as a challenge to overcome.  Personnally, I do not look at it as curable or uncurable.  I believe that it is more of a "learnable" condition in my experience with it.  Many times, our anxiety comes from confusion and misunderstanding of both the situation and how we feel about it, which is a good thing in my opinion, because those are factorst that we can control with some knowledge on how to do that.  Are you planning to go seek counseling for this?
