Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) refers to a state of uneasiness, being worried all the time and general fearfulness that impacts daily life activities. If these symptoms last for more than six months, it’s an indication of Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). The symptoms include anxiety, worries about everyday things, restlessness, irritability, headache, trembling, palpitations, fatigue, hot flushes, sweating, frequent urination, difficulty in concentration, shortness of breath, difficulty in falling asleep and trouble swallowing food or sensation of a lump in the throat.
The homeopathic mode of treatment is of great help for patients with generalized anxiety disorder. Homeopathic medicines can effectively manage symptoms of this disorder and gradually work to overcome this condition in the long run. The homeopathic medicines for generalised anxiety disorder provide natural treatment of anxiety as the medicines are sourced from natural substances. In the modern system of medicine, anti-anxiety medicines and antidepressants are used to treat generalised anxiety disorder. This may offer help on a short-term basis but does not permanently cure this condition. These medicines are also known to cause many side effects as well. Homeopathic medicines have zero side effects and heal this condition in a natural way.
Constitutional treatment
Homeopathic medicines for generalised anxiety disorder are prescribed as per constitution of the person, customized to suit his/her unique requirements. This means the medicines are selected based on the person’s emotional, psychological and physical make-up that makes their personality. These constitutional homeopathic remedies for generalised anxiety disorder go to the root of the problem and stimulate the body’s inbuilt healing mechanism to cure the condition in the most natural way. The results, however, vary from case to case as per the intensity of the problem. Whether the condition can be cured or only managed symptomatically depends on case severity.
Biphasic treatment
Homeopathy treats generalised anxiety disorder in two phases. In the initial phase, these medicines help to manage acute symptoms of this disorder. On getting a control over acute symptoms, the second phase of treatment is begun. The second phase treatment works at a deep psychological level to overcome this condition from its root. With a complete course of well-selected homeopathic remedies, most cases of generalised anxiety disorder having mild to moderate intensity recover entirely. In severe cases, help from conventional medicine should be taken, as homeopathy has its limitations in handling severe cases and its use is not recommended in such cases.
Safe medicines with no side effects
Homeopathy is a natural healing science to treat multiple health issues, including generalised anxiety disorder. Homeopathic medicines are entirely safe to use and do not cause any adverse effects in any case. Besides being safe, an additional advantage of using these medicines is that they never cause any dependency at all and can be easily stopped on achieving results.

Hello Dr Sharma,
I do not have exactly any of the above symptoms and this is why I chose to write to you.
One year ago I went to a psycologist, who suggested I should also see a psyciatrist in order to see if my anxiety has become physical too. I have been visiting the psyciatrist every now and then (once per 3 months) basically because our conversations are much more interesting for me than the ones with my psycologist. He told me once that I should consider taking some mild anti-depressants to make my everyday life easier, but I denied it. Next time I saw him I felt much better because I had started exercising more, doing yoga and climbing basically, so he didn’t suggest medication that time. Now, after 2,5 months of not exercising at all and not doing much to cope with my stress, I went to see him and he suggested some pills. I said NO again and this is why I am here looking for alternative therapies. I have to say that my basic symptom is that I cannot relax and enjoy my life finally! I have more than everything I ever imagined and I can’t be happy about it. I am grumby very often and complain to my partner all the time. I do not manage my time very well and I procrustinate often, which stresses me even more. Other than that, I sleep well at night,never had a panic attack, I dont have heat flushes, trembling, headaches..just some diziness when I feel I think too much.. Should I give it a go with homeopathy? What homeopathic medicine can you suggest to me?
Thank you for your understanding.

Dear Dr, Sharma,
First I wish you a happy, successful and prosperous new year!
I am very impressed by your advice on homeopatic remedies for certain helth issues. I would appreciate it very much reciving your advice on e remedy for my state.
I am 45 year old female, experiencing anxiety with occasional depressive mood, lack of concentration, poor motivation and lack of energy and complete isomnia. My mind seems to be working (thinking) during shallow sleep and always resolving some problems. When I wake up, I feel exhausted with palpitations in the chest/entire body. I often have tension headaches at the side (temples) of my head. It happend two years ago, when I experinced adrenal burn-out after years of very stressful events in my job. Since then I cannot get back to normal. I changed my job and I enjoy it very much. There are still some issues that have to be resolved from my prevous job and are very unpleasant for me. I am aware they are not “horrible” but I percive them so, and have anxiousness and anticipation of bad outcome in this respect. I am loosing a lot of energy on thinking about that.
Brief description of myself.
I have been very active in business, which plays very important role in my life. I am the oldest of five sisters, always had the feeling that I have to be perfect, perform better, so that my family was proud of me. Inside I had a feeling that I was not good, attractive, successful enough. I always felt tension that I could/should be better. So I worked very hard to prove that I can do it. I also care very much for my parents, sissters and my nephews … I always try to help people. I have neither own family, nor a relationship currently.
I used to be very soc iable and liked to be among people, but when the problems started I just wanted to be alone. Ihave been working in management positions, leading numerous projects and have overused my mind (working approx. 14 hrs/day). I had very little/no rest or holidays for several years, Gradually I began to notice that my concentration, energy, capability to cope with problems were diminishing. I felt tired and could not sleep; my mind could not rest. I have very little appetite and although I eat very little I gained 15lbs over six months, which I cannot loose. I have been moderately exercising (walks, light jogging) and started yoga and meditation a year ago. I have not been taking any medicines (except supplements: Mg, Multimineral and multivitamin and Omega 3.
Dear dr. Sharma, I would be very grateful to receive your recommendatio on a homeopatic medicine to resolve the problems presented above.
Looking forward to receiving your answer, i send you my best regards.
