How do I plan for an appointment for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)?

Prepare for your appointment to diagnose generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) by making a note of all your symptoms and any medications that you are taking. Think about situations that have been causing you stress or worry and write those down. If you have other health problems, be prepared to discuss them with the doctor. Remember to make a list of questions that you might want to ask the doctor. Consider taking a family member with you to the appointment for support.
