Strong Tea presents Quick Brews - Episode 5 - Generalised Anxiety Disorder

Welcome back to another episode of Quick Brews, today’s topic is GAD! 

GAD is relatively common and affects 5% of the population but you may not have heard of it. So what is GAD? Generalised Anxiety Disorder is a long-term condition that causes you to feel anxious about a wide range of situations and issues, rather than 1 specific event. People with GAD feel anxious most days and often struggle to remember the last time they felt relaxed. 

This episode is the story of Katie and Vikki’s life! Both having been diagnosed with GAD at different points in their life, they discuss what it’s like to struggle daily with these mental health battles.
